>Drumsep - single percussion instruments separation

 

If you want to further separate single instruments from drums stem separated with e.g. MDX23 Colab, Mel-Roformer drums on x-minus.pro premium, MVSEP, or Demucs_ft (not necessarily BS-Roformer SW) into: hihat, cymbals, kick, snare and more, you might want to check below solutions. Sampling from such separated stems might be not the best idea due to the quality (see here for free Drumclone plugin allowing even different types of synthesised kicks from mixture; video). But e.g. it serves well for purposes of conducting new mixes/remasters of the same songs or separated instrumentals, e.g. when it's overlapped with better quality, previously separated drums stem. It might give interesting results when aligned with the original drums, and rebalanced with effects (drums stem might end up louder in the mix than separated percussion, as most likely it will still have better quality). Check out these drum replacers.

 

To potentially increase drumsep models separation quality, “try using a small pitch shift up or down, like +/- 1 or 2 semitones (...) can sometimes help bring out the lows or highs if they seem weak.” (CZ-84)

Also, consider using good instrumental model before using 4 stem model for drums (if it's not instrumental already), to enhance drums stem, and then to enhance drumsep result.

 

Some drumsep models might have a bug where “a small, but relevant portion of audio is being lost when the [drumsep] model is being used”

“The solution is to invert the phase on all the drum stems into the original file and save that as its own file, making your own "other" file”. It has been fixed on MVSEP.

 

Consider using Lew Apollo Universal on hi-hat and snare from drumsep 6 stems model by jarredou from drums model from e.g. flowersv10 inst model (I've noticed that most of the residual "Fuzz" is usually trapped in the snare or cymbals. - CC Karaoke)
