Jeff Greenberg demonstrates MySpleeter, a Mac graphical interface for Spleeter, the open source audio separation tool from Deezer. The tutorial covers splitting a finished music file into stems for karaoke or editing the balance of instruments in post-production.

Uploaded on February 14, 2022, the video shows the interface and macOS installation behavior of that period. It does not specify a Spleeter, MySpleeter or macOS version. Greenberg notes that some macOS versions may require allowing the app to launch through Security preferences because it comes from an untrusted source. The tutorial does not assess installer security.

The demonstration uses a track Greenberg identifies as public domain. He drags the music into the input field, selects an output directory and clicks Separate. He says processing takes a minute or two in this example. The output contains five files: vocals, piano, drums, bass and other.

Greenberg imports the stems into GarageBand and mutes individual tracks to demonstrate the separation. The piano stem contains little audio, which he attributes to the source track having almost no piano. Muting the vocals provides a karaoke backing track; adjusting drums or bass gives an editor more control over the music. The example shows a practical local AI audio workflow, but does not establish separation quality or processing speed for other recordings or hardware.
