# Ultimate Vocal Remover v5 Command Line Beta

## About

This application is a heavily modified version of the vocal remover AI created and posted by GitHub user [tsurumeso](https://github.com/tsurumeso). You can find tsurumeso's original command line version [here](https://github.com/tsurumeso/vocal-remover). The official v5 GUI is still under developement and will be released some time in Q3 2021. New models for this version will be released at the end of the week.
