This could really revolutionize amateur music.
Having easy access to instrumental versions of millions of tracks will be huge for remixers, people recording vocal demos, etc.
...well, maybe.
I'm sure you won't be able to export the vocal-less versions out to an audio file directly.
But you should be able to turn off the vocals and capture the resulting audio by the usual means: loopback audio drivers, analog capture, etc. It's still a step, but it's going to be fairly easy and the resulting file should be quite clean.
(It's also going to revolutionize the singing I do alone after a few glasses of wine but that's not super impactful to anybody but me)
- MBCook 4y agoIt’s not what this is for, but I’ve often thought it would be kind of nice to be able to just put Apple Music in a “instrumental“ mode. The easy way would be if it knew which tracks were instrumental or not and only play those. The GREAT way would be if it just played everything but knew how to remove the all vocals by playing just the backing track.
- paxys 4y agoExtracting vocal tracks from songs is something that is done trivially in all audio mixing software out there. This is hardly a "revolution", especially considering Apple isn't even going to let you export the results digitally.
- JohnBooty 4y agoIt's been a while since I played around with that, but I remember the results not being super clean. Is that still the case? I am assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that Apple has access to multitrack versions of some songs and that for these tracks it will be able to remove the vocals in a pristine way.
- yunwal 4y agoSounds like they're doing it with ML just like everyone else (hence not supporting devices with old chips).
