When you use the full Splitter AI mode, your song comes out as four separate tracks. Here’s what each one holds and how to use them.
Vocals
The lead singing, isolated. Great for making acapellas, studying phrasing, or building a karaoke track by using everything except this.
Drums
Kick, snare, hi-hats, cymbals and percussion. Producers love an isolated drum track for sampling grooves or replacing a weak drum sound.
Bass
The low-end bassline. Useful for bass players learning a part by ear, or for engineers checking the low end of a mix.
‘Other’ — and why guitar and piano are in here together
This is the one people ask about most. Other contains everything that isn’t drums, bass or vocals — so guitars, pianos, keyboards, synths, strings and brass all end up mixed together here.
Why aren’t guitar and piano their own tracks? Because the free, in-browser model is a four-stem model. Splitting guitar from piano from strings individually needs a much larger model that only runs on powerful servers, which is what paid studio services charge for. For a free tool that runs on your phone, four stems is the sweet spot of quality and speed.
Putting them back together
The four stems add back up to the original song. That’s handy: mute the vocal and you have a karaoke track; keep only drums and bass and you have a rhythm section to jam over; solo the ‘Other’ track to hear the melodic instruments by themselves.
