Upload a song or video and get six separate tracks: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other instruments. Full songs, free, no sign-up.
Choose a song, or a video: the stem splitter uses the video's soundtrack.
You can watch the progress while it splits; longer songs take longer.
When it's done, every stem gets its own player. Listen to each one on its own, then download only the tracks you need.
A stem splitter (also called a stem separator) takes a finished song apart into its main parts. One upload gives you six stems at no extra cost, while some stem splitters charge more for every extra stem.
You also get three ready-made mixes of the song: without the vocals, without the drums and without the bass. Each one keeps everything else, so you don't have to mix anything yourself.
Play the original song, then each of its six stems, to hear what the stem splitter does before you upload your own. Listen for how much of the other instruments is left in each stem: that's the best way to judge whether the result is clean enough for what you need.

Some stem splitters only let you hear a preview, or give you a handful of songs a month. That's easy to use up in one practice session.
Here, the free plan gives you 1 full song a day, or 2 when you sign in, each up to 10 minutes long, with no watermark. Every stem downloads as an MP3, and splitting a song into stems counts as one song. If you need WAV files or longer, larger songs, Pro and the one-time pack (no subscription) cover that; see the plans and prices. You don't need an account for the first song of the day; sign in for the second, or when you buy.
The most common reason musicians split songs is to practice. For drummers, the stem splitter works as a drum remover: download the song without drums and play the part yourself, even for songs nobody has ever made a drumless version of. Bassists do the same with the version without bass. Learn the part from its stem first, then play along to the version without it. If you play in a covers band, you can rehearse your part at home with the rest of the band still in the mix.
A bass line buried under guitars and vocals is hard to hear. Play the bass stem on its own and the notes are much easier to pick out, which helps when you write tabs or transcribe a part. The vocals stem makes a melody easy to follow.
Guitarists get the guitar on its own stem: with the vocals, drums and bass gone, the part is much easier to hear. Piano players can try the piano stem too, but expect some other instruments in it.
Producers and DJs use stems to rebuild a song: a vocal stem for a remix or a live mashup, a drum stem to chop a break or study a groove, or the other instruments as a bed under a new beat. You no longer have to hunt for an official acapella that may not exist.
Songwriters and students use stems to study how a song is arranged. The bass and drums on their own show how the groove is built, and the guitar, piano and other-instruments stems reveal the chords and textures that sit under the vocal.
Each split counts as one of your songs on either page. The Voice Remover is built for singers: it gives you the vocals and the instrumental, which is all you need for karaoke or a cover. The stem splitter gives you those same two files plus drums, bass, guitar, piano and other instruments on their own, so you can learn, replace or rework one part. If you're not sure which one you need, start here.
Many people look for a stem splitter inside Logic Pro, FL Studio, Ableton or BandLab. That works if you already own one of them and your version has the feature. Built-in splitters can be slow on an older computer, and free desktop tools can sound great but often mean installing software and testing models for hours. This online stem splitter works in any browser, on a laptop next to the drum kit or on your phone, with nothing to install: the splitting happens on our servers.
Every stem is exactly as long as the original song and starts at the same moment, so the tracks line up when you drop them into a DAW. Import them side by side and they play back in sync, ready to re-balance, process or replace.
