How to install Spleeter on Windows 10
The install guide on Spleeter's GitHub page does not go into much detail and doesn't work for most people. I have 7 years experience as a software developer and it took me a few hours and multiple attempts to get the new version of Spleeter running on Windows. I've done the hard part for you, just follow these steps and you will have Spleeter up and running in no time!

Follow each step exactly! One small mistake will result in failure.
Step 1 Install Python 3.6.1 to 3.8
Spleeter requires you to install a Python version between 3.6.1 and 3.8. I recommend installing Python 3.8.
Spleeter is a project from Deezer’s research division and is made available online as a Python library based on Tensorflow. Although source separation remains a relatively obscure topic, its applications in music information retrieval (MIR) has the potential to have a far reaching impact on the way we are able to produce and consume music. The software is called Spleeter and was developed by music streaming service Deezer for research purposes. Yesterday the company released it as an open-source package, putting the code up on Github.
Once downloaded, run the installer. Make sure to click add Python 3.8 to path then follow the prompts to finish the install process.
- Get started with Deezer's Spleeter: newly released open source tool, Spleeter, is nothing short of remarkable.
- Deezer source separation library including pretrained models. deezer/spleeter github.com Here's a real-world usage of Spleeter, using a sample song by The Scatman.
Step 2 Open Command Prompt
Open the start menu, search for Command Prompt and open it.
Step 3 Install Spleeter
Copy and paste the command below into Command Prompt and press enter
pip install spleeter
Let the install process finish, it can take a while.
Step 4 Confirm Install
Spleeter should now be installed! To test that is has been installed copy and paste the following command.
Deezer Spleeter Online
spleeter --help
This should display the help guide for Spleeter.
Now you have installed Spleeter on Windows. Congratulations!
Step 5 Preparing to process a song
Find a song that you want to process in Explorer.
In Command Prompt type the following command followed by a space but DON'T PRESS ENTER
Deezer Splitter
cd
Now drag the containing folder of the song into Command Prompt
In Command Prompt the command should now look something like this:
cd C:UsersuserMusic Envato wordpress theme installation.
Now press enter.
Step 6 Processing a song
Now that Command Prompt is pointing to the correct folder, we can run the Spleeter separate script.
Copy and paste the following command into Command Prompt but change 'my_song.mp3' to the song that you are using:
Deezer Spleeter App
spleeter separate -p spleeter:2stems -o output my_song.mp3
Let the script run. It will take a few minuets the first time. If it succeeds there will be a new folder created named 'output' in the same folder where your original song was located.
You can change the 2stems section to 4stems or 5stems.
Spleeter is the Deezer source separation library with pretrained models written in Python and uses Tensorflow. It makes it easy to train source separation model (assuming you have a dataset of isolated sources), and provides already trained state of the art model for performing various flavour of separation:
- Vocals (singing voice) / accompaniment separation (2 stems)
- Vocals / drums / bass / other separation (4 stems)
- Vocals / drums / bass / piano / other separation (5 stems)
2 stems and 4 stems models have state of the art performances on the musdb dataset. Spleeter is also very fast as it can perform separation of audio files to 4 stems 100x faster than real-time when run on a GPU.
We designed Spleeter so you can use it straight from command line as well as directly in your own development pipeline as a Python library. It can be installed with Conda, with pip or be used with Docker.
