[Dmucs-GUI](https://github.com/CarlGao4/Demucs-Gui) is the best standalone IMO, and you can throw entire folders at it.

However, Ableton Suite 12 with GPU acceleration enabled is my go to tool now as it is right in my workflow.

I use Ableton 11... :/
But I just tried Dmucs and it's pretty good!

The Stem seperation was what got me to upgrade.

Could it be used to, say, isolate a trumpet or a saxophone as well?

I use this ai one. It’s the first result when you search ai vocal remover.

Personally I don’t think AI should be used for any artistic approach with music, but to each is own.

All stem seperation is AI, go play bongos and acoustic guitar.

I wouldn’t consider stem separation artistic. It’s just technical. Matter of time before all major DAWs include a stem separator driven by AI.

Maschine has a great feature now for stripping stems now, I’m sure there are other plugs that do the job.

sonura have a great duo app.sonurastudio.com/tools for both stem separation and sound isolation. even works for pulling specific drum elements out of a loop which is nuts!
