Four stems from one upload
Most “vocal removers” only give you one thing: the song with the singing filtered out. Stem separation is more useful. The model listens to the full mix and splits it into its musical parts, so you can download the acapella, the instrumental, the drum loop and the bass line as separate files. Re-sing the vocal, replace the drums, sample the bass, or rebuild the arrangement in your DAW — the choice is yours.
A 4-stem split works on almost any genre. Pop, rock, hip-hop, EDM, country, worship and karaoke tracks are all handled by the same model. Live recordings, heavy vinyl rips and mono mixes are harder, but you can still get usable vocals and a solid backing track in most cases.
The four stems you get back
Lead and backing vocals, harmonies and ad-libs, isolated so you can re-sing them, sample them or build an acapella.
Kick, snare, hats and percussion as one clean stem for remixes, drum practice and loop-based production.
Bass guitar and sub-bass separated from the mix, ready for sampling, transcription or replacing the low end.
Guitars, keys, strings, synths and background textures — every element that is not vocals, drums or bass.
The instrumental is simply your original track with the vocal stem removed — it is created in the same pass, so you get vocals, instrumental and the individual stems from a single upload.

How it works in three steps
No timeline to scrub, no plugin to install, no export settings to learn. The whole workflow is get a trial or plan, upload, wait and download — the AI does the hard part.

The $2.90 Trial Pack is a one-time purchase: 15 minutes, full 4-stem output, no subscription. Buy it once and every run after that draws from the minutes you own.
Upload your track
Drop an MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC. We check duration and quality before processing, so a paid run is never wasted on a broken file.
Download your stems
Grab vocals, instrumental and individual stems as MP3 320 or WAV. Keep what you need — the originals are deleted automatically.

An AI vocal remover that hears the whole mix
Classic vocal eliminators work by subtracting the center channel, where most lead vocals sit. That trick is fast and free, but it also removes the kick, snare, bass and anything else centered in the mix — and it fails completely on wide stereo vocals. The result is thinner, hollow and often unusable for anything serious.
Our model was trained on thousands of songs to recognize what a vocal, a drum kit and a bass actually sound like. Instead of subtracting a channel, it predicts each instrument’s contribution across the whole frequency range and rebuilds them as separate signals. That is why you keep a full, punchy backing track when the vocal disappears — and why the acapella still sounds like a performance rather than a phone call.
You can read a deeper comparison of AI separation versus EQ and phase tricks in the AI vocal remover guide, or see the step-by-step for each method in how to remove vocals from a song.
What people do with separated stems
Karaoke singers, producers, DJs, music teachers, podcasters and content creators use the same separation engine for very different jobs. Pick the workflow closest to yours.
Karaoke nights
Remove the lead vocal and keep the full band, then sing over the backing track.

We do not run a free-of-charge tier. Every separation uses GPU time, so instead of a giveaway preview we keep the entry price low: a one-time $2.90 Trial Pack with 15 minutes and the full 4-stem output. If you process more than that, Starter and Pro add monthly minutes; if you do not, the trial is the whole purchase.

Short answers about pricing, the paid Trial Pack, formats and copyright.
Can I try before paying?
No. There is no free-of-charge processing tier and no complimentary 3-minute sample — every separation costs GPU time, so every run is paid. The cheapest entry point is the one-time $2.90 Trial Pack, which includes 15 minutes of separation with the full 4-stem output. That is roughly five 3-minute songs for less than the price of a coffee.
What do I get in the $2.90 Trial Pack?
15 minutes of processing, billed once — not a subscription. Each job returns vocals, instrumental, drums, bass and other as separate files in MP3 320 and WAV. Fifteen minutes covers about five three-minute tracks, or one long set of edits. When the trial minutes are used up you can upgrade, but nothing renews automatically.
What exactly is a stem?
A stem is one isolated part of a mix — the vocal performance, the drum kit, the bass line, or everything else (guitars, keys, strings, synths). Producers, DJs and karaoke makers work with stems because they can mute, replace or rebalance individual parts without touching the rest of the song. A 4-stem separation gives you all four parts plus the instrumental (the original mix with the vocal removed).
Which audio files can I upload?
MP3, WAV, M4A and FLAC up to 100MB or roughly 10 minutes per track. For the cleanest separation, upload the highest-quality file you have — a lossless WAV or a 320kbps MP3 rather than a low-bitrate stream rip. Very compressed files, phone recordings and live bootlegs are harder for any model to split cleanly.
How long does separation take?
A typical 3-minute song is usually ready in 60–90 seconds after upload, depending on queue length. Longer tracks and the high-quality model take proportionally longer. Pro subscribers get a priority queue, but there is no unpaid queue — paid jobs are processed in the order they arrive.
Do you keep my audio files?
No. Files are processed for the job and removed from working storage automatically — normally within 24 to 48 hours — and your stems are available through time-limited download links. We do not use uploaded audio to train models. See the privacy policy for the full data-handling details.
Can I use the separated stems commercially?
We grant you a commercial-use license for the stem-separation service itself, but we cannot grant rights to the song you upload. If you own the recording or have a license from the rights holders, you can use the stems commercially. If you do not, your use may infringe copyright — only process audio you have the rights to use.
