I just came across a really interesting AI application that allows people to upload audio tracks and choose certain elements from them, like vocals, percussion, etc. I just tried it with Getz/Gilberto’s "Girl from Ipanema" and it works surprisingly well! There was one snippet of Joao’s voice in the first free minute preview that was not extracted, but lasts only a split second. It was compelling enough for me to opt in for one of the paid packages. For now, they’re offering 300 minutes (5 hours) of extraction for $25, and you can upload a variety of lossless formats and also download in lossless.

I have no affiliation with this service but thought the audiophile community might find it interesting. Enjoy!
As much as AI scares me, it also intrigues me with the innovations it affords.
What tracks have you tried, and what are your thoughts?
