Questions about the Stem Splitter
How many stems do I get?
Five files: vocals, drums, bass, other, and the backing without the voice. You hear 30 seconds of each free, then unlock the whole song for 20 credits per 10 minutes.
What ends up in the other stem?
Everything that is not the voice, the drums or the bass: guitars, keys, synths, strings and effects together. Four stems don’t pull those apart from each other.
Can I get just the drums?
Yes. Solo the drums in the mixer and download just that file.
Will the stems line up in my DAW?
Yes. Every stem starts at 0:00 and has the same length as the song, so they snap into place.
Can I turn a stem into MIDI?
Yes. Download one stem, like the vocals or the bass, and run it through WAV to MIDI.
Should I use the Vocal Remover instead?
If you only need the voice and the music, yes: that is 10 credits per 10 minutes. The Stem Splitter costs 20 and also gives the drums, bass and other on their own.
Can I use the stems in my own music?
Stems of your own recordings are yours to use. For anyone else’s song, you need the rights holder’s permission before you release anything made from them.
Can I split a song I made here?
Yes. Download it from your Library and upload it here. Its drums, bass and other parts make a starting point for a remix.
Can I split a song from a YouTube link?
Not yet. Download the audio of a video you own or have permission to use, then upload the file: up to 60 minutes and 1 GB.
