While this is awesome, it's trained on MUSDB18-HQ which as far as I can tell is proprietary. zenodo.org claims it is available, however I have filled out their "request access" page a half-dozen times. Does anyone know of a training data-set that's possible to obtain?

Here is the zenodo response:

Your access request has been rejected by the record owner.

Message from owner: no justification given

Record: MUSDB18-HQ - an uncompressed version of MUSDB18 https://zenodo.org/record/3338373

The decision to reject the request is solely under the responsibility of the record owner. Hence, please note that Zenodo staff are not involved in this decision.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Disclaimer: my hobby is correcting people on the Internet when they say disclaimer but they really mean disclosure :)

How are those windmills doing, Don Quijote?

Hey, don't knock him. I'd never thought about it before. Being taught or corrected is great as long as people aren't dicks about it. Even then it has some value :)

I shall use this knowledge and endeavour to share it where possible.

For anyone who wants to try Spleeter in a version that "just works" without having to install TensorFlow and mess with offline processing, Spleeter has been been built into a wave editor called Acoustica from Acon Digital. It's been working really well for me, and the whole package is solid competition to editors like iZotope RX: https://acondigital.com/products/acoustica-audio-editor/

I've been trying for months to make redistributable Spleeter "binaries" that I can bundle with user-facing applications. Happy to see someone's succeeded where I've failed. Really sad they've chosen not to share their changes :( I emailed them requesting more info on how their implementation works. I think this might be a violation of the MIT license?

The MIT license isn't copyleft, there's no obligation to share modifications or provide source - just to acknowledge the copyright / credit.

But they seem friendly and proactive (from my experience on music forums anyway), so hopefully you'll get a helpful reply.

Another recent open source contender for source separation is Open Unmix: https://github.com/sigsep/open-unmix-pytorch/ I’ve not had time to try it yet but have read good things.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they've got out-of-the-box windows support.
