The unmix processes that Peter Jackson used on Get Back and most recently to unmix the Band’s album for Atmos mix seems beyond what Specttralayers or Izotope RX can pull off. There seems to be no information on what this software is? ?Anyone what this is or who is behind it?

From what I know it’s not a software, it’s an AI model they specifically trained with non-public stems of the Beatles. Hence the quality of the result, it’s specifically tailored for this very task, unmixing Beatles records.

I have been observing this topic a lot. One thing I will say is that I did watch the documentary and the making of it and it seems like he(the film-maker which I will leave unammed for obvious reasons)) overly exaggerated when he mentions that he used special software. I believe he(the film-maker) did this to further sell his documentary(make it seem like he has access to special technology that nobody else has in order to entice viewers). In hollywood there is a lot of competition (universal pictures competing with paramount and disney competing with netflix) and film-makers have an obligation to keep trade secrets within their company in order to keep competition going and to deter other film-makers from overtaking their jobs.
However, I believe this film-maker is using nothing but algorithms and good masking techniques (to deal with noise level and neutralize white noise as best as possible without interfering with the other major noise).
I am currently studying speech synthesis and the other day I stumbled across something like this and I started laughing because they’re giving a presentation on how speech is generated electronically and they’re making it sound so fancy and complicated when all they’re really doing is transforming an image into waves(in-other-words downsampling audio/image into lesser bits).
