24 alternatives to Demucs music stem separator rewritten in Rust – runs in the browser

Hi HN! I reimplemented HTDemucs v4 (Meta's music source separation model) in Rust, using Burn. It splits any song into individual stems — drums, bass, vocals, guitar, piano — with no Python runtime or server involved. Try it now: https://nikhilunni.github.io/demucs-rs/ (needs a WebGPU-capable browser — Chrome/Edge work best) GitHub: https://github.com/nikhilunni/demucs-rs It runs three ways: - In the browser — the full ML inference pipeline compiles to WASM and runs on your GPU via WebGPU. No uploads, nothing leaves your machine. - Native CLI —…

Demucs-rs is a music stem separator that splits songs into individual tracks—drums, bass, vocals, guitar, and piano—using Meta's HTDemucs v4 model reimplemented in Rust. It runs directly in WebGPU-capable browsers with… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hi all, I've spent some time working on music demixing or music source separation algorithms, which take in a mixed song and output estimates of isolated components (e.g. vocals, drums, bass, other). I took a popular PyTorch model with good performance (Open-Unmix, UMX-L weights), reimplemented the inference steps in C++, and compiled it to WebAssembly for a free client-side music demixer.

    Hi HN, Last time I showed free-music-demixer, which people seemed to enjoy. It was a static website with a Javascript + WASM module to perform music demixing (or music source separation) using an AI model UMX-L (Open-Unmix) running client-side in the browser. Since then, I have overhauled the project and made several improvements: - The demixing/separation quality is higher now, since I implemented the missing post-processing step - Memory usage is lower now by performing a custom segmented inference with a streaming LSTM, which should allow larger tracks (or, dare I say,…

    In 2020, Magenta released DDSP [1], a machine learning algorithm / python library which made it possible to generate good sounding instrument synthesizers from about 6-10 minutes of data. While working with DDSP for a project, we realised how it was actually quite hard to find 6-10 minute of clean recordings of monophonic instruments. In this project, we have combined the DDSP architecture with a domain adaptation technique from speech synthesis [2]. This domain adaptation technique works by pre-training our model on many different recordings from the Solos dataset [3] first and then…

    Hello HN, not many will know what this tool is about, but it's launch day and I always dreamed of posting on HN. Let's start! This is a tool for people using eurorack gear. For synth people. What is cool about my tool is that I show the signal flow with a graph. Here's the official press text: After a decade of stagnation in this space we are excited to present patcher.xyz: the modern way to manage everything modular. It’s a tool for professionals, enthusiasts, and casual wigglers. Novadays artists must develop their own means of taking notes, often on paper, since there is no common format…
