Linux, Windows or MacOS

# Using a miniconda virtual environment

conda create -y -n demucs python=3.10.9
conda activate demucs

# Install Python requirements with pip
pip install demucs gradio soundfile
# Pip install latest version of Whisper
pip install git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git

Next, clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/bradsec/audio-utils-webui.git
cd audio-utils-webui

---

Usage

To start the program, run the following command in the project directory:

python webui.py

---

This will launch the Gradio WebUI on http://0.0.0.0:7860. Open this URL in a web browser to access the user interface. If launching on the same PC you can use http://localhost:7860, otherwise 0.0.0.0 allows it to accessed from any computer on the local network using the assigned IP address of machine hosting the webui ie. http://192.168.0.1:7860.

---

Note: On first use of demucs and whisper will download the required checkpoints and models. Check the terminal output for status of the download and processing etc.

---

Testing

• September 2023 - Tested above install and webui usage on Debian 12 (Bookworm) and Microsoft Windows 11.

---

Limitations

• May be issues with very long audio files.

---

Troubleshooting

Check terminal output for information. All commands and progress will be shown in terminal. As mentioned, models need to download on first use, the number of files and their size may vary. Other messages such as out of memory (GPU) will also be shown in the terminal.
