How do I split a song into stems?
Split a track into its individual stems — up to 16 isolated parts: vocals, bass, guitar, piano, and woodwinds, plus a full drum split into kick, snare, hi-hats, toms, ride, and crash. Preview it on a cleared track above, or run the full AI stem separator on your own audio in the Workshop. There is no plugin to install — separation runs in the cloud and the finished stems stream back to you.
How it works
1. Upload a track
Drop in any song — MP3, WAV, or FLAC. Your audio is processed privately, not added to the catalog.
2. AI separates the parts
AI stem separation isolates up to 16 individual parts — vocals, bass, guitar, piano, woodwinds, and a full drum split.
3. Play & download
Preview each stem on its own, then download the parts you want and drag them into your DAW.
Common use cases
- Isolate the vocals from a song to chop a hook or build a vocal sample.
- Make an acapella by keeping only the separated vocal stem.
- Pull a drum break from a track to sample, loop, and re-skin in Drum Kit.
- Remove the vocals for a karaoke or instrumental version by muting the vocal stem.
Cleared stems, ready to shape
Beyond separating your own audio, most Selekt catalog sounds include stems where the source supports a useful split. They come from documented CC0, public-domain, or CC-BY recordings, with proof showing the source and license terms. Preview the isolated parts, then download and flip them into your next beat. Browse vocal stems, drum stems, public domain stems, or the full catalog.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a song into stems?
Upload a track to the AI stem separator and it splits the audio into isolated stems — vocals, bass, guitar, piano, drums, and more, up to 16 parts including a deep drum split. There is no plugin to install; separation runs in the cloud and the finished stems stream back to your browser. Preview it on a cleared track in the demo above, then run the full separator on your own audio in the Workshop.
Can I get an acapella or remove the vocals from a song?
Yes. The vocal stem is your acapella, and muting the vocal leaves a ready-made instrumental — useful for karaoke, covers, or remixes. Because every part is separated on its own, you can also keep just the drums, just the bass, or just the guitar.
How many stems can I get from one track?
Up to 16, depending on what is in the recording: vocals, instrumental, bass, guitar, piano, woodwinds, other instruments, and a full drum split into kick, snare, hi-hats, toms, ride, and crash. A simple mix yields fewer detected parts; a full-band recording can yield more.
Is the stem separator free?
Browsing and previewing the cleared catalog is free, and most catalog sounds include separated stems where the audio supports them. You can try real separation on the demo tracks above at no cost. Running the full separator on your own audio uses credits or an Early Access plan.
Where do the cleared stems in the catalog come from?
Every stem in the Selekt catalog is separated from a real recording sourced from public domain, CC0, or CC-BY contributors, and each download ships with a license certificate showing the source and license type. That is what makes them safe to sample, chop, and release.
