Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
This is the 4th release of Demucs (v4), featuring Hybrid Transformer based source separation.
For the classic Hybrid Demucs (v3): Go this commit.
If you are experiencing issues and want the old Demucs back, please fill an issue, and then you can get back to the v3 with
git checkout v3
. You can also go Demucs v2.
Demucs is a state-of-the-art music source separation model, currently capable of separating drums, bass, and vocals from the rest of the accompaniment. Demucs is based on a U-Net convolutional architecture inspired by Wave-U-Net. The v4 version features Hybrid Transformer Demucs, a hybrid spectrogram/waveform separation model using Transformers. It is based on Hybrid Demucs (also provided in this repo) with the innermost layers are replaced by a cross-domain Transformer Encoder. This Transformer uses self-attention within each domain, and cross-attention across domains. The model achieves a SDR of 9.00 dB on the MUSDB HQ test set. Moreover, when using sparse attention kernels to extend its receptive field and per source fine-tuning, we achieve state-of-the-art 9.20 dB of SDR.
Samples are available on our sample page. Checkout our paper for more information. It has been trained on the MUSDB HQ dataset + an extra training dataset of 800 songs. This model separates drums, bass and vocals and other stems for any song.
As Hybrid Transformer Demucs is brand new, it is not activated by default, you can activate it in the usual
commands described hereafter with -n htdemucs_ft
.
The single, non fine-tuned model is provided as -n htdemucs
, and the retrained baseline
as -n hdemucs_mmi
. The Sparse Hybrid Transformer model decribed in our paper is not provided as its
requires custom CUDA code that is not ready for release yet.
We are also releasing an experimental 6 sources model, that adds a guitar
and piano
source.
Quick testing seems to show okay quality for guitar
, but a lot of bleeding and artifacts for the piano
source.
See the release notes for more details.

Overall SDR
is the mean of the SDR for each of the 4 sources, MOS Quality
is a rating from 1 to 5
of the naturalness and absence of artifacts given by human listeners (5 = no artifacts), MOS Contamination
is a rating from 1 to 5 with 5 being zero contamination by other sources. We refer the reader to our paper,
for more details.

You will need at least Python 3.8. See requirements_minimal.txt
for requirements for separation only,
and environment-[cpu|cuda].yml
(or requirements.txt
) if you want to train a new model.
Everytime you see python3
, replace it with python.exe
. You should always run commands from the
Anaconda console.
If you just want to use Demucs to separate tracks, you can install it with
python3 -m pip install -U demucs
For bleeding edge versions, you can install directly from this repo using
python3 -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs#egg=demucs
Advanced OS support are provided on the following page, you must read the page for your OS before posting an issues:
If you have anaconda installed, you can run from the root of this repository:
conda env update -f environment-cpu.yml # if you don't have GPUs
conda env update -f environment-cuda.yml # if you have GPUs
conda activate demucs
pip install -e .
This will create a demucs
environment with all the dependencies installed.
You will also need to install soundstretch/soundtouch: on Mac OSX you can do brew install sound-touch
,
and on Ubuntu sudo apt-get install soundstretch
. This is used for the
pitch/tempo augmentation.
Thanks to @xserrat, there is now a Docker image definition ready for using Demucs. This can ensure all libraries are correctly installed without interfering with the host OS. See his repo Docker Facebook Demucs for more information.
I made a Colab to easily separate track with Demucs. Note that transfer speeds with Colab are a bit slow for large media files, but it will allow you to use Demucs without installing anything.
Integrated to Hugging Face Spaces with Gradio. See demo:
@CarlGao4 has released a GUI for Demucs: CarlGao4/Demucs-Gui. Downloads for Windows and macOS is available here. Use FossHub mirror to speed up your download.
@Anjok07 is providing a self contained GUI in UVR (Ultimate Vocal Remover) that supports Demucs.
Audiostrip is providing free online separation with Demucs on their website https://audiostrip.co.uk/.
MVSep also provides free online separation, select Demucs3 model B
for the best quality.
Neutone provides a realtime Demucs model in their free VST/AU plugin that can be used in your favorite DAW.
In order to try Demucs, you can just run from any folder (as long as you properly installed it)
demucs PATH_TO_AUDIO_FILE_1 [PATH_TO_AUDIO_FILE_2 ...] # for Demucs
# If you used `pip install --user` you might need to replace demucs with python3 -m demucs
python3 -m demucs --mp3 --mp3-bitrate BITRATE PATH_TO_AUDIO_FILE_1 # output files saved as MP3
# use --mp3-preset to change encoder preset, 2 for best quality, 7 for fastest
# If your filename contain spaces don't forget to quote it !!!
demucs "my music/my favorite track.mp3"
# You can select different models with `-n` mdx_q is the quantized model, smaller but maybe a bit less accurate.
demucs -n mdx_q myfile.mp3
# If you only want to separate vocals out of an audio, use `--two-stems=vocals` (You can also set to drums or bass)
demucs --two-stems=vocals myfile.mp3
If you have a GPU, but you run out of memory, please use --segment SEGMENT
to reduce length of each split. SEGMENT
should be changed to a integer. Personally recommend not less than 10 (the bigger the number is, the more memory is required, but quality may increase). Create an environment variable PYTORCH_NO_CUDA_MEMORY_CACHING=1
is also helpful. If this still cannot help, please add -d cpu
to the command line. See the section hereafter for more details on the memory requirements for GPU acceleration.
Separated tracks are stored in the separated/MODEL_NAME/TRACK_NAME
folder. There you will find four stereo wav files sampled at 44.1 kHz: drums.wav
, bass.wav
,
other.wav
, vocals.wav
(or .mp3
if you used the --mp3
option).
All audio formats supported by torchaudio
can be processed (i.e. wav, mp3, flac, ogg/vorbis on Linux/Mac OS X etc.). On Windows, torchaudio
has limited support, so we rely on ffmpeg
, which should support pretty much anything.
Audio is resampled on the fly if necessary.
The output will be a wave file encoded as int16.
You can save as float32 wav files with --float32
, or 24 bits integer wav with --int24
.
You can pass --mp3
to save as mp3 instead, and set the bitrate with --mp3-bitrate
(default is 320kbps).
It can happen that the output would need clipping, in particular due to some separation artifacts.
Demucs will automatically rescale each output stem so as to avoid clipping. This can however break
the relative volume between stems. If instead you prefer hard clipping, pass --clip-mode clamp
.
You can also try to reduce the volume of the input mixture before feeding it to Demucs.
Other pre-trained models can be selected with the -n
flag.
The list of pre-trained models is:
htdemucs
: first version of Hybrid Transformer Demucs. Trained on MusDB + 800 songs. Default model.htdemucs_ft
: fine-tuned version of htdemucs
, separation will take 4 times more time
but might be a bit better. Same training set as htdemucs
.htdemucs_6s
: 6 sources version of htdemucs
, with piano
and guitar
being added as sources.
Note that the piano
source is not working great at the moment.hdemucs_mmi
: Hybrid Demucs v3, retrained on MusDB + 800 songs.mdx
: trained only on MusDB HQ, winning model on track A at the MDX challenge.mdx_extra
: trained with extra training data (including MusDB test set), ranked 2nd on the track B
of the MDX challenge.mdx_q
, mdx_extra_q
: quantized version of the previous models. Smaller download and storage
but quality can be slightly worse.SIG
: where SIG
is a single model from the model zoo.The --two-stems=vocals
option allows to separate vocals from the rest (e.g. karaoke mode).
vocals
can be changed into any source in the selected model.
This will mix the files after separating the mix fully, so this won't be faster or use less memory.
The --shifts=SHIFTS
performs multiple predictions with random shifts (a.k.a the shift trick) of the input and average them. This makes prediction SHIFTS
times
slower. Don't use it unless you have a GPU.
The --overlap
option controls the amount of overlap between prediction windows. Default is 0.25 (i.e. 25%) which is probably fine.
It can probably be reduced to 0.1 to improve a bit speed.
The -j
flag allow to specify a number of parallel jobs (e.g. demucs -j 2 myfile.mp3
).
This will multiply by the same amount the RAM used so be careful!
If you want to use GPU acceleration, you will need at least 3GB of RAM on your GPU for demucs
. However, about 7GB of RAM will be required if you use the default arguments. Add --segment SEGMENT
to change size of each split. If you only have 3GB memory, set SEGMENT to 8 (though quality may be worse if this argument is too small). Creating an environment variable PYTORCH_NO_CUDA_MEMORY_CACHING=1
can help users with even smaller RAM such as 2GB (I separated a track that is 4 minutes but only 1.5GB is used), but this would make the separation slower.
If you do not have enough memory on your GPU, simply add -d cpu
to the command line to use the CPU. With Demucs, processing time should be roughly equal to 1.5 times the duration of the track.
The main function provides a opt
parameter as a simple API. You can just pass the parsed command line as this parameter:
# Assume that your command is `demucs --mp3 --two-stems vocals -n mdx_extra "track with space.mp3"`
# The following codes are same as the command above:
import demucs.separate
demucs.separate.main(["--mp3", "--two-stems", "vocals", "-n", "mdx_extra", "track with space.mp3"])
# Or like this
import demucs.separate
import shlex
demucs.separate.main(shlex.split('--mp3 --two-stems vocals -n mdx_extra "track with space.mp3"'))
If you want to train (Hybrid) Demucs, please follow the training doc.
