Hello folks!  Music streaming apps come with an option that plays only the background of a music file. We can see this mainly in the Karaoke apps. Spleeter is a library developed by Deezer using Tensorflow, that can be used to separate background, vocal from a music file.

Let us install spleeter using pip.

pip install spleeter

Now its time to work with an audio file. For now, we will use sample music from the repo.

wget https://github.com/deezer/spleeter/raw/master/audio_example.mp3

Its time to split the audio file

spleeter separate -i audio_example.mp3 -o output/

Now navigate to the output folder

ls output/audio_example

we will have two output music files

Vocals.wav

accompaniment.wav
