Seamless Vocal Removal: DeVoX-Isolate utilizes sophisticated deep learning technology to detect and isolate vocals and voice-overs from your audio tracks.

Multiple File Format Support: Whether it's MP3, WAV, FLAC, or any other popular audio format, DeVoX-Isolate accommodates a wide range of file types. This flexibility ensures that you can work with your preferred audio files without any hassle.

As this is a full-beta software, we do not provide a GUI yet, but you can already use our core functionality.

TODO :

De-ducking: Some audio mixes automatically reduce the audio level of other tracks when a vocal is present to put in the foreground, this results in a reduced level when the audio is removed by our process, we should automatically compensate for that
Batch Processing: Time is of the essence, and DeVoX-Isolate respects that. Our tool supports batch processing, allowing you to remove vocals from multiple audio files simultaneously, significantly reducing editing time.
Real-time Preview: Get a sneak peek of the final result before committing to the changes. DeVoX-Isolate provides a real-time preview, empowering you to select what vocals to cut/amplify/reduce and achieve the perfect audio output.

DeVoX-Isolate is a must-have tool for musicians, content creators, podcasters, and audio enthusiasts alike. Whether you're a professional sound engineer or an aspiring artist, this software caters to all your vocal removal needs.

Usage

When you're on Windows you can download and use our release directly.

You can run the batch file devox.bat with just one parameter the input file, e.g. an mp3.

Or simply drag and drop it on the devox.bat file

Once the process is complete the files are available in the output\htdemucs_ft in a separate folder, as no_vocals.wav. The vocals are saved as vocals.wav

Building

To build DeVoX-Isolate for yourself and your OS. First download this repository.

0. Install Python

We need Python 3.10 at least installed (it was tested with this version to say the least).

1. Build Demucs

First we need to build Demucs We will create and a enter a new Python virtual environment in the demucs\venv folder.

Navigate to in the demucs sub folder, where you need to run these commands:

this will create and a enter a new Python virtual environment: python -m venv venv
enter this virtual environment with venv\Scripts\activate, it will now show (venv) in front of the prompt
this will install Python requirements for CUDA support (only Windows and Linux) through pip: pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu116 demucs SoundFile cx-Freeze, alternative is CPU only pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio demucs SoundFile cx-Freeze
this will build demucs (Windows & Linux): cxfreeze main.py --target-dir=dist --target-name=demucs-cxfreeze --packages=torch --includes=demucs.htdemucs or without pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio demucs SoundFile cx-Freeze
this will exit the virtual environment: deactivate

You find the demucs software now under demucs\dist

2. Copy _soundfile_data files

Copy the folder demucs/venv/Lib/site-packages/_soundfile_data to demucs/dist/lib/_soundfile_data (overwrite)

You can now remove the contents of the demucs\venv folder as it is no longer needed, about 1 GB

3. Bundle ffmpeg and ffprobe with demucs

First download the ffmpeg and ffprobe executables, e.g.:

Windows: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-release-essentials.zip

MacOS: https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-109428-g10a56363a7.zip and https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ffprobe-109428-g10a56363a7.zip

Then copy them to the demucs\dist folder

4. Download models

Downloaded models and their corresponding YAML-file should be placed in a directory, and that directory should be passed to Demucs via the -n and --repo command line arguments.

Models for htdemucs_ft:

Download these:

https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/demucs/hybrid_transformer/f7e0c4bc-ba3fe64a.th
https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/demucs/hybrid_transformer/d12395a8-e57c48e6.th

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebookresearch/demucs/main/demucs/remote/htdemucs_ft.yaml

and place them in the models\htdemucs_ft folder

Note: List of all filenames (in case you need a model other than htdemucs_ft) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebookresearch/demucs/main/demucs/remote/files.txt

5. Build Release

Run build-release.bat to copy all the required files to the dist folder

devox.bat is now available
