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? 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?

Yeah, the results are a lot better than filtering... deep learning has pushed the state of the art in source separation on quite a lot recently. 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/ https://ezstems.com/
