Replacing BGM with StableAudio-Generated BGM

[!NOTE]

In order to load videos into the LoadAudio Node, change this line in your Comfy install to include the video's extension (e.g., .mp4)

You can use this to replace copyrighted BGM in a video with new BGM. You can set the denoise low, so that the new BGM is still stimilar to the original.

Stem Mapping

The Audio Separation node uses Hybrid Demucs to split audio into four stems:

| Output | Contains | |--------|----------| | Bass | Bass guitar, sub-bass, low-frequency instruments | | Drums | Drums, percussion, hi-hats | | Other | Everything else — guitars, keyboards, synths, strings, etc. | | Vocals | Singing, speech, vocal harmonies |

Looking for a specific instrument like guitar? Guitar is included in the Other stem. To isolate guitar, separate first, then use the Audio Combine node to subtract unwanted elements or further process the "Other" output.

Requirements

librosa>=0.10.2,<1
torchaudio>=2.3.0
numpy
moviepy

Installation

1. If you run ComfyUI inside of a virtual environment, make sure it is activated
2. git clone this repository in ComfyUI/custom_nodes folder
3. cd into the cloned repository
4. pip install -r requirements.txt

Troubleshooting

<details> <summary><b>BadZipFile / "failed finding central directory"</b></summary>

This error means the Hybrid Demucs model checkpoint was corrupted during download. Delete the cached file and restart ComfyUI to trigger a fresh download:

# Default location (Linux/macOS)
rm ~/.cache/torch/hub/checkpoints/*.th

# Windows
del %USERPROFILE%\.cache\torch\hub\checkpoints\*.th

See #21.

</details> <details> <summary><b>ConnectionResetError on Windows</b></summary>

Exception in callback _ProactorBasePipeTransport._call_connection_lost(None)
ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054]

This is harmless Windows asyncio noise — it does not affect audio separation results. The error comes from Python's ProactorEventLoop closing connections and can be safely ignored. See #9.
