About

Spleeter is the Deezer source separation library with pretrained models written in Python and uses Tensorflow. It makes it easy to train source separation model (assuming you have a dataset of isolated sources), and provides already trained state of the art model for performing various flavour of separation :

• Vocals (singing voice) / accompaniment separation (2 stems)
• Vocals / drums / bass / other separation (4 stems)
• Vocals / drums / bass / piano / other separation (5 stems)

2 stems and 4 stems models have state of the art performances on the musdb dataset. Spleeter is also very fast as it can perform separation of audio files to 4 stems 100x faster than real-time when run on a GPU.

We designed Spleeter so you can use it straight from command line as well as directly in your own development pipeline as a Python library. It can be installed with Conda, with pip or be used with Docker.

Quick start

Want to try it out ? Just clone the repository and install a Conda environment to start separating audio file as follows:

git clone https://github.com/Deezer/spleeter
conda env create -f spleeter/conda/spleeter-cpu.yaml
conda activate spleeter-cpu
spleeter separate -i spleeter/audio_example.mp3 -p spleeter:2stems -o output

You should get two separated audio files (vocals.wav and accompaniment.wav) in the output/audio_example folder.

For a more detailed documentation, please check the repository wiki

Want to try it out but don't want to install anything ? we've setup a Google Colab
