 class Separator:
     """
-    The Separator class is designed to facilitate the separation of audio sources from a given audio file.
-    It supports various separation architectures and models, including MDX, VR, and Demucs. The class provides
-    functionalities to configure separation parameters, load models, and perform audio source separation.
-    It also handles logging, normalization, and output formatting of the separated audio stems.
-
-    The actual separation task is handled by one of the architecture-specific classes in the `architectures` module;
-    this class is responsible for initialising logging, configuring hardware acceleration, loading the model,
-    initiating the separation process and passing outputs back to the caller.
-
-    Common Attributes:
-        log_level (int): The logging level.
-        log_formatter (logging.Formatter): The logging formatter.
-        model_file_dir (str): The directory where model files are stored.
-        output_dir (str): The directory where output files will be saved.
-        output_format (str): The format of the output audio file.
-        output_bitrate (str): The bitrate of the output audio file.
-        amplification_threshold (float): The threshold for audio amplification.
-        normalization_threshold (float): The threshold for audio normalization.
-        output_single_stem (str): Option to output a single stem.
-        invert_using_spec (bool): Flag to invert using spectrogram.
-        sample_rate (int): The sample rate of the audio.
-        use_soundfile (bool): Use soundfile for audio writing, can solve OOM issues.
-        use_autocast (bool): Flag to use PyTorch autocast for faster inference.
-
-    MDX Architecture Specific Attributes:
-        hop_length (int): The hop length for STFT.
