Stem Splitter

Feed in one stereo mix and get back the parts that built it (vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and everything else), each on its own channel, ready to mute, solo, rebalance and export.

Free plan available · Runs in the browser · MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG

AI stem splitter separating song into vocals, drums, bass, guitar and instrument tracks

Take one mix apart into six tracks.

Upload a finished song and get vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other back as real, independent audio you can rebalance and export.

Upload a song & split stems

Step by step

  1. Upload your track

    MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG. Cleaner sources give cleaner separation.

  2. Run the separation

    The model returns up to six stems, with a progress indicator as it works.

  3. Mix and export

    Volume, pan, mute, solo and EQ per channel, then download lossless WAV.

What stem separation is doing under the hood

A finished song is a single waveform, every instrument summed together into one signal. There is no metadata in an MP3 saying "this frequency at this moment belongs to the snare". Splitting it apart means reconstructing information that was thrown away when the record was mixed and mastered, which is why it is a hard problem and not a simple filter.

JamScore AI uses an AI model that works on the spectrogram: a time-versus-frequency picture of the song. Trained on huge libraries of tracks where the individual stems are known, it has learned the characteristic shapes each instrument family makes: the sharp transients of drums, the sustained low fundamentals of bass, the plucked decay of guitar. For each point in the spectrogram it predicts how much belongs to each stem, then rebuilds six separate audio tracks from those predictions.

Because the split produces real independent tracks, you are not stuck with the original balance. Each stem arrives on its own mixer channel, so you can quiet the drums, push the piano forward, or drop everything except the rhythm section, then export exactly the version you want.

Where a multitrack helps

Honest note on bleed: six-stem separation is impressive but not surgical. When two instruments occupy the same frequency band at the same moment (a piano and a pad, a bass and a low synth), you will hear a little of each in the other's stem. Sparse arrangements separate best; wall-of-sound productions will always leave some crosstalk.

Frequently asked questions

How many stems do I get?

Up to six: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and "other". The free plan produces a two-stem split (vocals and instrumental); the full six-stem separation is a Pro and Studio feature.

What ends up in the "other" stem?

Anything the model cannot confidently place in vocals, drums, bass, guitar or piano (strings, synth pads, brass, backing choir, handclaps and sound effects) all land in "other". It is a catch-all, not a mistake.

Can I mix the stems, not just export them?

Yes. Each stem lands on its own mixer channel with volume, pan, mute, solo and a three-band EQ, so you can rebalance the song before you export any stem as WAV.

Will every song split cleanly into six parts?

No. Sparse, well-recorded arrangements separate cleanly; dense mixes where instruments overlap in frequency will show some bleed between stems. That is a limitation of the physics: overlapping signals cannot always be fully untangled.
