Hi, Bliss
Thank you for posting this!
Sent me down a most helpful set of rabbit holes.
Turns out (of course) that there are other alternatives.
A kwik google surfaces, among other links:
Top LALAL AI Alternatives for Audio Extraction in 2024 (rushtechhub.com)
Then one might ask: What sources might one use as the root files for the extractions?
Easier peasier, I suppose, if you do your own recordings or have a server full of music.
In my case, it will be more a case of downloading from streaming sites, in particular Tidal, which has its own set of indirect protocols, time sinks and learning curves.
Useful in my case for vocals and, one hopes, better than Karaoke.
I will follow up with my voice teacher as this process may be well understood and established in that world.
Thanks again,
Ken
