youd need to make sure only two inputs are selected. also, the files would have to be perfectly in sync |
Well, as implemented, when presented with more than two inputs, it will do... "something". More specifically, it will chain the diff operations, and since this is currently essentially a XOR operation (leaves sounds that are either in one or the other input but not in both), for three inputs it will do "(A XOR B) XOR C". So for example "(full track XOR instrumental) XOR instrumental with backing vocals" will yield "all vocals only XOR instrumental with backing vocals" in the first step and finally instrumental with lead vocals only, without backing vocals. Maybe not terribly useful, but not entirely meaningless. But now that I think about it, a unidirectional subtraction would make more sense. I'll modify the PR to implement both.
Indeed, but that's true for all the "manual ensemble" modes. Also, much like all the other manual ensemble modes, because this works in the frequency domain, they don't need to be "exactly perfectly" in sync, i.e. not down to the last sample. They can be a couple samples off. |
This is a simple algorithm usable with the Manual Ensemble that produces a "difference" between two audio files. For example if you have a full track and an official instrumental, you can use this mode to try extracting the vocal-only track by pure math, without going into any ML processing.
