What Hacker News says
6 sourcesGood use of AI!
Audacity can also do this through the OpenVINO plugins and I've been happy with its results (https://github.com/intel/openvino-plugins-ai-audacity).
In StemDeck, a free, open-source and local AI stem separatorI tried the Audacity noise-removal plugin recently and it's complete crap. I fed a high-quality audio stream from a Rode mic into a few different options to see which could remove the noise of my server rack. iMovie made the voice sound like a robot and Audacity barely did anything. The only thing that worked was DeepFilterNet and it's free, open-source and cargo installable.
There's no reason to lock yourself into an intel-only solution. Just use DeepFilterNet. The results of this on my noisy server room were insanely good. Almost no voice dropout with 100% fan noise removal.

EDIT: Even more interesting, it looks like OpenVino is just DeepFilterNet glued to Whisper.cpp and tied to Intel hardware.

In OpenVINO AI effects for AudacityThere's an openvino plugin for audacity that can do music separation but it only supports 4 tracks at the moment (drums, bass, vocals, other).
