Previous discussion, where I posted a demo using a full song (legally under Creative Commons): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21431071 Note: I'm not affiliated with this project; I just think it's cool.
Once you have obtained just the Guitar from a track, are there any tools out there which can work out the Tablature (eg. https://www.ultimate-guitar.com//top/tabs ) so you can play along?
Because the ability to separate any song into separate tracks would be amazing. The ability to remix any song or just play with any instrument or vocal track would be awesome. But does it have the same poor quality and limitations of most frequency based source separation?
Now we can create all-star bands that never existed. For example: Neil schon from journey. Lead guitar Heart sisters doing lead vocals and lead/rthyum guitar Flea -- bass guitar from Chili Peppers Neal Peart -- drummer from rush Tony kay --- keys from genesis The only difficulty is they must all be playing the same song. Then we can extract, transpose if needed, and remix together.
If not, I'm sure if you ask nicely Amazon will give you a few credits to burn on a pandemic art project.
I couldn't find any examples so was wondering for anyone that's tried this are the results better than using a bandpass filter and an equalizer to isolate frequencies or one of those auto karaoke things?

It isn’t magical and the results still have artefacts (mostly that kind of slightly underwater sound of a low bitrate MP3, I believe due to the way the audio is reconstructed from FFTs), and some songs trip it up entirely, but it’s definitely worth playing around with and I think it could potentially have applications for DJ/remix use if you added enough effects etc.
It’s fairly easy to install and runs quickly without GPU, or you can try their Collab notebook, or seems someone has hosted a version at https://ezstems.com/
There is a Max/Ableton live plugin version here, which makes it much easier to experiment with Spleeter artistically. https://github.com/diracdeltas/spleeter4max/releases/
I’ve not had time to try it yet but have read good things.
So can it be run in real-time?
I am thinking about extracting features for music visualization but it could make a DJ happy also.
A local radiostation has a broadcast of four hours. They are required to play an x amount of music tracks by the station (about 6 per hour), but there has been demand to make the broadcast available as podcast without the music. Could this make it possible to automatically remove the music from the MP3 file they have available? With 6 tracks per hour times 4 hours, manually removing the music is time consuming. I dou…
