    Hi HN,

    You know those YouTube channels with millions of views that are just popular songs, but chipmunk? They sound awful because they pitch-shift the entire track.

    I fixed it.

    The pipeline: Upload an MP3 -> Demucs isolates the vocals -> Rubber Band pitch-shifts them into the rodent register -> FFmpeg glues it back together. Hosted on Modal.

    Guardrails protecting my $5/month Modal budget and net worth:

    * 10MB max upload

    * First 30 seconds only (Demucs is computationally brutal)

    * 3 requests/IP/day

    I delete your files immediately out of principle, but also because I genuinely cannot afford to store them.

    If the site throws an error, you've assassinated my budget and I will pour one out.

    Try it out and let me know what you think. I suggest using a song that you love!
