Cuda Out of Memory Error on Longer Files

🐛 Bug

Hello,

I am trying to test out the torchfilters branch of this project. It works fine on shorter audio clips, but when the audio file is around 4 to 5 minutes in length, the program crashes with a CudaOutOfMemoryError.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run test.py on a music file about 4 or 5 minutes in length.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/unmix/test.py", line 74, in separate
    estimates, model_rate = separator(audio_torch, rate)
  File "/home/user/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/torch/nn/modules/module.py", line 547, in __call__
    result = self.forward(*input, **kwargs)
  File "/home/user/unmix/unmix/filtering.py", line 833, in forward
    for sample in range(nb_samples)], dim=0)
  File "/home/user/unmix/filtering.py", line 833, in <listcomp>
    for sample in range(nb_samples)], dim=0)
  File "/home/user/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/torchaudio/functional.py", line 130, in istft
    onesided, signal_sizes=(n_fft,))  # size (channel, n_frames, n_fft)
RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 454.00 MiB (GPU 0; 7.43 GiB total capacity; 6.02 GiB already allocated; 218.94 MiB free; 690.49 MiB cached)

Expected behavior

The program should finish execution on files of longer length as well. Is there a way to split the audio every one or two minutes, or use an audio loader in such a way that the entire song isn’t loaded into CUDA memory at once, so that way it doesn’t crash?

Thank you!

Does a unidirectional model reduce performance?

yes, for vocals it might be up to 0.5 dB SDR. For drums or bass its not that important, though.

I see, I’m mainly working with vocals and the master branch works even w/o cuda so no problem so far.
