Stem splitters, whats the best? Is lalal.ai worth the cost?

Holy crap, that works very well.

I’m going to use for decomposing and analyzing track elements, thanks!

Stemroller’s also been good for transcription purposes since I’m working on my industrial-funk-metal bass chops.

Demucs is open source and yields very acceptable results. Took a little while, but I got it to run from my Mac terminal, even the 6 track version.
I think I prefer it to my spectralayers 7.

so out of all of these versions hit mix, lalala, steam, etc… all of them how do they rank from best to worst?

This one is under development and promises some advanced functionality like feature extraction, pitch and time quantization of stems, batch processing etc. Also open source. Currently it’s a bit difficult to set up, but definitely give it a try if you are familiar with python.

I haven’t found any good enough to be worth paying for, certainly.

Have you gone through the process? I may for funses.

Yes, it worked on windows but I am still encountering errors on my 2018 intel macbook pro with ventura.

It appears that especially M1&2 users are getting errors with the python modules.

Please let me know how it went!

So I modified the script (replaced all the pyrubberband stuff with pydub, kicked out what I don’t need) and it now a) runs on my mac b) does varispeed/repitching instead of time stretching. Will try to post an audio demo asap.

Bumping because my ripx trial ended. Is there anything out there that gets stems as clean as this one? Its expensive and ai is evolving so fast I thought I’d ask before buying.

Is Stemroller not clean enough? If not, I have no idea.

Hope it works out for you, I love it but I’ve not used any other.

I love Stemroller, but be aware that it randomly stops working at times due to youtube updates. I believe there’s only a single developer and he tries his best to keep it updated and working.
