Instead of saying &ldquo;remove the vocals,&rdquo; you can say &ldquo;extract the acoustic guitar playing in the background.&rdquo;</p> <p>SAM-Audio is Meta&rsquo;s research project that extends the &ldquo;segment anything&rdquo; paradigm from the visual domain into the auditory domain. The model takes a mixed audio signal and a text prompt, then generates a time-frequency mask that isolates the described sound source. This is fundamentally different from traditional sound source separation, which operates on fixed categories like &ldquo;vocals&rdquo; or &ldquo;drums.&rdquo;</p>
