WUT is the Interactive Audio Laboratory's browser-based interactive source separation app. This end-user application makes it easy for musicians, producers and podcasters to apply audio source separation to unmix a recording into individual tracks. For example, if you have a recording with two overlapping voices, or a recording with a voice and backing track and want to remove a voice, WUT makes it easy. WUT also learns from user interaction and correction, improving its performance for next time.
This work is currently in pre-alpha stage and is under active development.
WUT is a client-server application that uses a Javascript front-end to connect to a Python back-end server.
WUT requires Python 3.6 or later and redis-server.
If you'd like full manual or scripted installation, see INSTALL.md.
WARNING: this quick installation assumes macOS or Linux, and virtualenv.
You'll need to have redis-server installed. See the Redis Quick Start page for manual installation or use a package manager:
brew install redis # macOS
# or
sudo apt install redis # Ubuntu (change to your respective package manager)If you don't have virtualenv you can install it with pip (Note: installation and use of virtualenv may conflict with Conda or other virtual environment managers if you have those installed):
pip install virtualenv
Once you have Python 3.6 or later, virtualenv, and redis-server installed, run the following command (Note: this command assumes python3 is aliased to your Python 3.6 or later installation):
redis-server & # `&` runs in the background, see INSTALL.md for info
