Lead and backing vocals
When a song has backing vocals, they come apart from the lead. Keep the harmonies in a karaoke, or take a clean lead for a remix.

Stem Splitterfor Vocalsand Instrumentals
Upload a song for stem separation: isolate vocals, create instrumentals, or split it into 6 stems. Use 2-Stems for Acapella and Vocal Remover outputs: vocals on one track, everything else on another.

Hear it first
Real songs. Six clean stems.

How it works
From one song to six stems in about a minute
Drop your song
MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, M4A, or even a video from your phone. You do not need an account to split.
Choose 6 or 2 stems
6-Stems gives you vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and everything else. 2-Stems gives you the vocals and the instrumental.
Play, solo, download
Most songs are ready in about a minute. Play every stem right in your browser, then download the ones you need.
Go deeper
Then it splits the parts again
After the six stems, the Stem Splitter listens again and splits the parts that a song has, including the brass in Other. One song can give you up to 16 tracks.
The whole drum kit
Kick, snare, toms, and hats and cymbals, each on its own track. Rebuild a beat, or replace one sound.
- Kick
- Snare
- Toms
- Cymbals
Acoustic and electric guitar
When a song has both, each guitar gets its own track.
- Acoustic
- Electric
Practice and create
More than a stem splitter
Every split comes with tools to learn a song, play along, and take it into your own session.
Key and BPM
See the key of the song with its Camelot code, and its tempo.
Practice speed and key
Slow the song down or move it to your key while you play along. Your downloads keep the original.
A metronome that follows the song
The click follows the beat of the song, with a count-in. Export the click track as a WAV.
MIDI from your stems
Turn the bass, piano, guitars, vocals and drum parts into MIDI notes for your DAW.

FAQ
Stem Splitter questions, answered
What you upload, what you get, and what it costs.
Which stems do I get?
With 6-Stems: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other (everything else, such as synths, strings and brass). With 2-Stems: vocals and the instrumental. When the song has them, extra splits add lead and backing vocals, kick, snare, toms, hats and cymbals, acoustic and electric guitar, and brass, split out of other.
Is it free?
Yes. You can split songs and play every stem in your browser for free, without an account. To download the stems, get Unlimited or buy the one song.
How long does a split take?
Most songs are ready in about a minute, and nine in ten in under two minutes. You can leave the page: we can email you when the stems are ready.
Can I make a karaoke or an acapella?
Yes. Choose 2-Stems for a quick vocal remover: one track with the vocals (the acapella) and one with the instrumental. With 6-Stems, mute the vocals to hear the karaoke version.
What can I upload?
MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, M4A and AAC files, and videos such as MP4 or MOV. A lossless file (WAV, FLAC or AIFF) gives the cleanest stems.
Do the stems line up in my DAW?
Yes. Every stem has the same length as the song and starts at the same point, so they line up when you drop them in at 0:00.
Can I use the stems of any song?
Only split music that you have the rights to use, such as your own songs, or use the stems for private practice. Your uploads stay private.
Can I mix or master the stems after?
Yes. Upload your stems to Mixing to get a finished mix, then send the mix to mastering. Both are part of LoopMastering.
