What does HackerNews think of demucs?

Code for the paper Hybrid Spectrogram and Waveform Source Separation

Language: Python

For those interested, Facebook's Demucs page (https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs) gives performance comparison for several models including open-unmix.

Demucs [1], one of the leading/SOTA systems, has an experimental 6-source model, `htdemucs_6s`, which adds piano and guitar:

>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.

I also believe Audioshake [2] (a company in the space) is doing guitar separation as well.

I wonder if this would yield even better results if it were to be split into multiple tracks in the pre-processing stage with something like Demucs.[1]
