Audio Input → Music_MasterAudioEnhancement → Audio Output

Recommended Settings for AI Vocals (Ace-Step, Suno):

Denoise Mode: "Hiss Only"
Vocal Enhance: True
Naturalize Vocal: 0.5  (adjust 0.3-0.7 as needed)
De-esser Amount: 0.5
LUFS Target: -14.0  (Spotify/YouTube standard)

Audio Input → Music_StemSeparation → Process Each Stem → Music_StemRecombination → Audio Output

Example: Extract vocals, remove breath noise, add reverb, then recombine:

Audio → StemSeparation (extract vocals) → NoiseRemove → Reverb → StemRecombination

Audio Input → NoiseRemove → Equalize → Compressor → StereoEnhance → LufsNormalizer → Audio Output

Problem: AI vocals sound robotic with metallic artifacts and auto-tune effect.

Solution:

Audio Input → Music_MasterAudioEnhancement
  Settings:
  - denoise_mode: "Hiss Only"
  - vocal_enhance: True
  - naturalize_vocal: 0.6  ← NEW! Removes robotic artifacts
  - deesser_amount: 0.5
  - clarity_enhance: True
  - lufs_target: -14.0

Result: Natural-sounding vocals with human-like pitch variation and no digital artifacts.

Audio Input → Music_MasterAudioEnhancement
  Settings:
  - denoise_mode: "Full"  ← Removes background noise
  - ai_enhance: True  ← Neural enhancement for clarity
  - vocal_enhance: True
  - eq_bass: -3  ← Reduce rumble
  - eq_mid: +2  ← Boost speech presence
  - clarity_enhance: True
  - lufs_target: -16.0  ← Standard for podcasts

Instrumental Track → Music_Gain (-3 dB)
                                    ↘
Vocal Track → NoiseRemove → Equalize (+3 mid) → Compressor (4:1) → Reverb (0.3) → Music_AudioMixer
                                                                                           ↓
                                                                                    Music_LufsNormalizer (-14 LUFS)

Audio Input → Music_NoiseRemove (Full)
            → Music_AudioUpscale (to 48kHz)
            → Music_Equalize (bass +2, treble +3)
            → Music_Compressor (ratio 3:1)
            → Music_LufsNormalizer (-14)
            → Audio Output

Recommendation: Start with 0.5, then adjust ±0.2 based on results.

• AI Music Post-Processing: Ace-Step, Suno, Udio vocal cleanup
• Podcast Production: Noise removal, clarity enhancement, loudness normalization
• Music Mastering: Professional loudness standards (LUFS), dynamics processing
• Content Creation: YouTube, streaming platform audio optimization
• Audio Restoration: Noise removal, upscaling, EQ correction
• Stem Separation: Extract vocals for remixing or karaoke

• Stem Separation Quality: Works best with modern, clean recordings
• AI Enhancement: MetricGAN+ optimized for speech (less effective on music)
• Processing Time: Stem separation can take 30-60 seconds per song
• GPU: Some operations (AI enhancement) benefit from CUDA GPU

• Python: 3.8+ (tested on 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11)
• Core Libraries:
  • numpy, scipy - Signal processing
  • librosa - Audio analysis
  • soundfile - Audio I/O
  • pyloudnorm - LUFS normalization
  • noisereduce - Spectral noise reduction
  • spleeter or demucs - Stem separation (optional)
  • speechbrain - AI enhancement (optional)

• Input: WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, M4A (via librosa)
• Output: WAV (32-bit float), MP3, FLAC
• Sample Rates: 16 kHz - 192 kHz (automatic resampling)
• Channels: Mono, Stereo

• CPU: All nodes are CPU-optimized (vectorized NumPy operations)
• GPU: Optional for AI enhancement (SpeechBrain MetricGAN+)
• Memory: ~500 MB for typical 3-minute song
• Speed: Real-time processing on modern CPUs (i5/Ryzen 5 or better)

Solution: Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Causes:

1. Amount set to 0.0 (disabled)
2. Vocal Enhance disabled (naturalizer is part of vocal chain)
3. Input audio already natural (not AI-generated)

Solution: Set vocal_enhance=True and naturalize_vocal=0.5

Causes:

1. Missing spleeter or demucs models
2. Insufficient memory

Solution:

pip install spleeter demucs
# Models auto-download on first use (~100 MB)

Cause: LUFS target too low

Solution: Increase lufs_target to -12 or -9 LUFS for louder output.

Cause: Limiter threshold too high or input too loud

Solution:

1. Reduce limiter_threshold to -2 dB or lower
2. Reduce input gain before processing

Advantages:

• ✅ Free and open source
• ✅ Unique vocal naturalizer for AI vocals
• ✅ Node-based workflow for complex chains
• ✅ Optimized for speed (26x faster than v1.0)

Trade-offs:

• ⚠️ Requires ComfyUI installation
• ⚠️ Less GUI polish than commercial tools
• ⚠️ Stem separation quality depends on source material

The apply_vocal_naturalizer() function uses 5 techniques to humanize AI vocals:

1. Pitch Variation (Vibrato-like)

   • Adds subtle ~4.5 Hz vibrato
   • 0.2% pitch variation at maximum
   • Breaks rigid pitch quantization

2. Formant Variation

   • Random subtle variation in 200-3000 Hz band
   • Humanizes timbre and vocal character
   • Adds "life" to static formants

3. Metallic Artifact Removal

   • Reduces 6-10 kHz digital artifacts
   • 30% reduction of harsh frequencies
   • Less "digital" sound

4. Quantization Masking

   • Adds shaped noise (1-4 kHz)
   • Masks pitch "stair-step" artifacts
   • Very subtle (0.2% amplitude)

5. Pitch Transition Smoothing

   • Low-pass filtering on differential signal
   • Smooths abrupt note changes
   • Creates natural pitch glides

Performance: ~10ms per second of audio (~102x realtime)

11. Music_StemSeparation - Separate audio into stems

    • Input: Audio data
    • Output: Separated stem audio
    • Parameters: Stem type (vocals, drums, bass, music)
    • Use Case: Extract individual components for separate processing

12. Music_StemRecombination - Recombine separated stems

    • Input: Four stem audio streams (vocals, drums, bass, music)
    • Output: Recombined mixed audio
    • Parameters: Volume control for each stem (0-2)
    • Features: Custom mixing with individual stem volume control

Audio sounds robotic/auto-tuned

• Increase naturalize_vocal parameter (try 0.7)
• Enable vocal enhancement
• Check AI enhance mix isn't too high

Clipping/distortion

• Lower target loudness (-9 to -12 LUFS)
• Reduce clarity amount
• Check input audio isn't already clipping

Noise removal too aggressive

• Lower denoise_intensity (try 0.3)
• Use "Hiss Only" mode instead of "Full Denoise"
• Process in multiple light passes

AI enhancement not working

• Install torch, torchaudio, speechbrain
• Check model downloaded to ComfyUI/models/MusicEnhance/
• Node falls back to DSP-only if dependencies missing

Slow processing

• Disable AI enhancement for faster processing
• All DSP functions are optimized (~100x realtime)
• AI enhancement is slower but optional

1. Use "Hiss Only" denoise for speed (faster than full denoise)
2. Disable AI enhancement if not needed
3. Process shorter clips if experimenting
4. All vocal enhancement functions are optimized for speed
5. Limiter and compression use vectorized operations

Contributions are welcome! Areas for improvement:
