What is an AI stem splitter?
An AI stem splitter separates a finished, mixed song into its individual parts, called stems. A two-stem split gives you the vocal and the instrumental; a full split separates vocals, drums, bass and the remaining instruments. Producers use stems to remix, DJs to build edits, singers to practise and creators to make karaoke versions.
TaloMusic's stem splitter works on songs you make in TaloMusic and on audio you upload and own. Choose a two-stem split for 5 credits or a full split for 20 credits, and download each stem as its own file.
Common uses
- Karaoke and backing tracks: remove the vocal, keep the music.
- Acapellas: isolate the vocal for a remix or a mash-up.
- Remixing AI songs: replace the drums or bass in your DAW.
- Practice: mute your instrument's part and play along.
- Fixing a mix: rebalance the vocal against the beat.

Getting clean stems
- Start from the highest-quality file you have; WAV is better than a low-bitrate MP3.
- Busy, heavily compressed masters separate less cleanly than open mixes.
- Reverb and delay on the vocal partly stay in the instrumental stem; this is normal for all separation tools.
- For an AI song you just made, split it from your library so the original file is used.
Two-stem or full split?
Choose two stems if you only need the vocal or only the music, for karaoke, acapellas or adding a new vocal with the AI vocal generator. Choose the full split if you want to rebuild the track in a DAW.
What to do with your stems
- Karaoke: play the instrumental and sing along, or share it for a cover.
- New vocal: upload the instrumental to the AI vocal generator and write new lyrics for it.
- New backing: upload the isolated vocal to the backing track generator and try a different genre.
- DAW remix: drag the stems into GarageBand, Ableton, FL Studio or Logic and rebuild the track.
Only split audio you own or have permission to use. Splitting a commercial song does not give you rights to its parts.
Tips
- Clean mixes separate better than heavily compressed masters.
- Use the two-stem split to make karaoke or acapella versions.
