Demucs Hands-on Workflow in Music Production
Professional musicians can utilize Demucs to achieve the following compositional scenarios:
1. Split-track extraction
- utilization
demucs --two-stems=vocals track.wav
Extracting vocals individually - pass (a bill or inspection etc)
--two-stems=drums
Get a clean drum kit track - Importing detached WAVs into a DAW (e.g. Ableton/Cubase)
2. Remix remastering
- Adding compression to an extracted bass track
- Keep the vocal track and replace the original backing track for Remix creation.
- Using EQ to correct for high frequency loss due to separation
3. Real-time integration program
- Installing the Neutone plugin for real-time separation within a DAW
- Dynamically adjust the volume of each track via MIDI controllers.
- Follow-up noise reduction with iZotope RX
Typical example: After extracting the vocals of an old song, the orchestral accompaniment is reworked with Spitfire Audio sources to form a new version of the arrangement.
