Open Culture recently posted a link to Abbey Road but with only Paul's bass lines, but the actual content got taken down. [0] It was really cool though, in part because it's not nearly as precise as I would have thought, which made it feel really organic.

This seems to run just fine under Linux as well, not completely out of the box though: It's basically missing builds and config for Linux which can be build analogous to the existing Win/Mac stuff.

You also have to build the demucs-cxfreeze dependency (as described in its repo, https://github.com/stemrollerapp/demucs-cxfreeze).

In the real world where tracks are cut live, there is a fair bit of microphone bleed

It's almost eerie how well this works with electronic music. Coming from an age where your best try to separate a track was using equalizers, I didn't have high hopes.

Trying it out with Alan Walker's Alone, it separates the vocals and drums almost perfectly. Bass is really fine as well, only instrumental and 'other' was a bit mixed up in my try.
