24 alternatives to TrackSplit

I built TrackSplit because I wanted to practice drums along to my favorite songs without the original drum track getting in the way. Existing solutions like LALAL.AI and Moises require uploading your audio to their servers. I wanted something that runs locally, both for privacy and because I didn't want another subscription. TrackSplit separates any song into 6 stems: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other. It runs entirely on your Mac with no internet required. Technical details: - Built with Swift/SwiftUI with an embedded Python backend - Uses HTDemucs v4 (Hybrid Transformer…

    I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

    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,…

    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! I could never find the right sample for my music, so we built Sounds. A collaborative catalog of free samples and loops, generated with our music model. Everything is free to browse and download, but the most fun part is to generate your own. Every generation joins the public library, so the catalog grows from what people couldn't find.

    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 —…

    I recently got Ableton Move and was disappointed by how difficult it was to convert samples into Move-compatible drum racks, so I made a simple CLI tool for that. I hope others find it useful, and at some point, Ableton sees the need and provides us with a built-in solution.
