Stem separation

Split any songinto six clean stems.

Upload a track and pull it apart into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other — right in the browser. Grab an acapella, build an instrumental, or sample one instrument, then export lossless WAV.

The six stems

Every part on its own track.

Not a four-way split with everything else dumped into one bucket. Guitar and piano come out isolated, so the parts you want to work with arrive clean.

Stem

Vocals

Pull a clean acapella to remix, re-pitch, or run through a voice conversion.

Stem

Drums

Lift the full kit for sampling, re-grooving, or layering under a new beat.

Stem

Bass

Isolate the low end to study a line or swap it for your own.

Stem

Guitar

Grab the guitar on its own instead of burying it in an "other" bucket.

Stem

Piano

Separate keys and pads to transcribe a part or rebuild the chords.

Stem

Other

Everything left over — strings, synths, fx — kept as one clean catch-all.

How it works

Three steps from full mix to stems.

  1. Step 01

    Upload a track

    Drop in an MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A and add it as a card on the canvas. A studio bounce, a phone recording, or a finished release all work. No session files, no stems required.

  2. Step 02

    Separate into stems

    Run the split. A dedicated GPU pulls the mix apart into six tracks — vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other — without smearing them together or leaving bleed across the parts.

  3. Step 03

    Download what you need

    Take all six stems or just the one you came for. Every stem exports as lossless 24-bit WAV, ready to drop into your DAW or feed straight into a conversion or mastering pass on the same canvas.

What people use it for

Six ways stems unlock a track.

Covers

Pull an acapella for a cover

Strip the vocal off a reference track so you can study the phrasing, re-sing it, or run it through a voice in your library. A clean lead is the starting point for any cover.

Karaoke

Make an instrumental

Drop the vocal stem and keep the rest, and you have a backing track to sing over. Useful for karaoke nights, live practice, or recording your own take against the original arrangement.

Remix

Remix or build a mashup

Separate two songs, then trade vocals over instrumentals or stack drums from one track under the chords of another. Stems are the raw material every remix and mashup starts from.

Sampling

Sample a single instrument

Isolate the bass, the piano, or the drum break on its own and chop it into a sampler. Pulling one part out of a busy mix is far cleaner than EQ-carving the full record.

Practice

Transcribe or practice a part

Solo the instrument you are learning so you can hear every note without the rest of the band on top. Loop the bass line or the guitar part and play along until it sticks.

Cleanup

Clean up a stem before re-mixing

Re-balance a rough mix you only have as a stereo file by splitting it and remixing the parts. Push the vocal up, pull the drums back, and bounce a fresh version that sits right.

Why HanoLab

Built for creators who ship.

Six stems, not four

Most splitters stop at vocals, drums, bass, and a single "other" lump. HanoLab pulls guitar and piano out as their own stems too, so the parts you actually want to remix are not buried together.

Lossless WAV out

Every stem exports as 24-bit WAV. No lossy re-encode between the split and your DAW, so the parts stay clean when you stack, re-pitch, or master them downstream.

One canvas, full pipeline

A separated vocal can flow straight into a voice conversion, and a remixed bounce straight into mastering — all on the same canvas. No exporting, re-importing, and tab juggling between three tools.

Dedicated GPU, no queue

Separation runs on dedicated GPU infrastructure. There is no batching window and no peak-time slowdown — submit a track and the split starts immediately.

Nothing to install

It all runs in the browser. No plugin, no desktop app, no model downloads to manage. Open a tab on any machine and your stems come out the same.

Credits, not seats

You pay for the work you do, not a per-seat license. The free tier ships with enough credits to split a track and export the stems without ever typing in a card.

FAQ

Quick answers.

How many stems do I get?

Six: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and a final "other" stem that holds whatever is left, like strings, synths, and effects. That is two more isolated parts than the usual four-way split, which means guitar and piano come out on their own instead of getting lumped into a single bucket.

What audio formats are supported?

Upload MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A. The split happens at full quality and every stem comes back as lossless 24-bit WAV. You can feed in a finished release, a rough bounce, or a phone recording — no original session or project file is needed.

How good is the vocal isolation for karaoke?

Dropping the vocal stem and keeping the other five gives you a clean instrumental to sing over, with the lead removed rather than just turned down. Modern separation handles most full-band mixes well; very dense masters or heavy reverb tails can leave faint artifacts, but for karaoke and practice the result is usually more than good enough.

Is there a song-length limit?

Standard-length songs split comfortably. Very long uploads such as DJ sets or full podcast episodes are better separated in sections, both for speed and to keep each stem tidy. For a typical three-to-five-minute track you can run the whole thing in one pass.

Can I use the stems commercially?

Commercial use of what you create is allowed on paid plans. Keep in mind that separating a song does not grant you rights to the underlying recording — if you are remixing or sampling someone else’s copyrighted track, clearing those rights is on you. Stems you split from your own material are yours to use freely.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Stem separation runs entirely in the browser alongside generation, voice conversion, and mastering on the same canvas. There is no plugin, desktop app, or model download — open a tab, upload a track, and pull your stems.
