***UPDATE***
So, after some testing I've figured out a way to get cleaner vocal removals! I will be releasing a new model for v2.2.0 as soon as next week. It will be another multi-genre model. One for v3.0 will follow as well.
With that being said, I think it's important that we treat v2.2.0 and v3.0 as separate AI's because they both have weaknesses and strengths over each other.
v2.2.0 - Vocal removals are a bit tougher, but the instrumental quality suffers little to no degredation.
v3.0 - Vocal removals are more aggressive, which is good. However, it comes at the cost of higher instrumental quality degradation (think PhonicMind conversions).
Last thing, if anyone has pairs they would like for me to include in my next training set, please follow these instructions before you send them -
1. Please use stems only. You can get them from Rock Band, here on Lite-records, or other places
2. Use those stems to create a mix, an instrumental, and an acapella
3. Name the files with the artist and song name followed by "_mix", "instrumental", and "_voc" (Exp. WEEZERSAYITAINTSO_mix, WEEZERSAYITAINTSO_inst, WEEZERSAYITAINTSO_voc)
4. Make sure you do this all in the same session so they will align by default.
5. Please make sure the instrumentals are clean of background vocals. Also make sure the acapellas are totally clean with absolutely no instrumentation bleed through.
6. Send them using Dropbox, drive, mega, etc
