Show HN: Chipmunkify – I used ML to solve audio's dumbest problem

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!
