OK! I got my results back! That was fun!
On the rock song I sent it, it kind of worked! In general, it separated the higher frequencies of the vocals better than the lower.
And in general, the instrumental track is higher quality than the vocal-only track!
Also, in the quieter parts of the song - no guitar, just drums and vocals, the hi-hats came through on the vocal side.
The separation worked best when there was singing and guitars and drums.
It's a bizarre, fun effect to play both tracks back, vocals panned left, instruments panned right. Some of the singing pans from left to right as it slips in and out of the classification :)
Thanks for this! If you ever felt like describing how it works more, it would be fascinating to hear!
- quematech 12y agoHi. Glad you enjoyed it. We use some advanced signal processing algorithms. Basically, the algorithm separates stuff that is repetitive from stuff that is not, which explains the erratic result. For example, if the instrumental is very repetitive, you'll have quite good results, as with some commercial stuff. But you can get sometimes easily a solo with this... We'll be releasing a new version in two monthes which will give users access to other parameters, like the period used to define the "repetitive" part.
