Show HN: NoDrums – Remove Drum Tracks Using Deezer's Spleeter
I've been working on a tool called NoDrums that utilizes Deezer's Spleeter model to isolate and remove drum tracks from audio files. It's designed for musicians, producers, or anyone needing drum-free tracks for practice, sampling, or remixing.
NoDrums is built on top of the pre-trained Spleeter model, providing a straightforward way to generate drumless versions of songs. Whether you're jamming along as a guitarist or looking to extract clean tracks for production, this could be useful.
The project is open-source and open for contributions.
I used GPT-4 via Canvas in my drafting workflow and Patchwork's DocString Patchflow for code documentation. Thanks to Deezer for their work on Spleeter, which makes this possible. Feedback and contributions are welcome!

Ask HN: How can I rekindle my passion for computer science?
I have no idea if it fits the board but whatever... i'll shoot my shot.
I (25m) am a postgrad computer science student, i like the stuff that i study, it's interesting, it was fun to study those things on my own before uni and even during uni pre pandemic. I got a job in the field at 21 and i am still kicking trough it, working on the usual tasks that a compsci consultant might be dealing with... I've been exposed to a lot of people throughout uni and i always felt an area of both ineptitude (socially speaking) and elitism (i am not the sharpest compsci guy ever, i like the stuff but it's not my identity, i've seen people doing proofs while plastered drunk, while driving without looking at the road or just in occasions that didn't call for any of that and people demeaning others because they know less (to the point of using really heavy slurs) and are not technically prepared as them).
I am now at the point that i am studying interesting stuff for my postgrad but i can't step inside my uni anymore (haven't been in the library for months) because i feel inadequate and kind of "not worth of it" all the while the exams feel like modules to compile after a semester of lectures because every inkling of interest gets kind of robbed away from the previous pressures.
I tend to do quite well into exams, even going at times above and beyond if i like a course (i spent 6 months implementing the IRC protocol into a multiagent system) with little to no satisfaction coming from it (just a pat on the back from the professor, a mark, everything ends there)... it feels kind of bleak.
I keep remembering now about the moments that characterized my bachelor, the magic of being in uni for the first months, the intensity of working on my thesis figuring things out on my own ways, getting to slowly figure out why the simplex method is like that throughout my operational research lectures...
So my question is, how can i keep growing up in this field without feeling like i am not worth of it, without thinking that i have to be a beast at it?
I hope it makes sense... thanks
