Be mindful that Sample will automatically time-stretch your audio to fit the project’s global tempo. Once loaded in, it’ll open up a GUI complete with a waveform visualizer and a number of controls. Open up Sample and you’ll be prompted to drop in an audio file. Sample does way more than just stem separation, though you can chop up, time-stretch and pitch-shift audio to create custom sample instruments from your stems that can be played via MIDI. The combination makes perfect sense - most of us separating stems will be doing so in order to sample those stems after the fact. As far as we know, it’s the first tool of its kind to bring sampling and stem separation together into a single plugin. Serato Sample 2.0 is an updated version of Serato's Sample plugin that was released just a few weeks ago. If we had one criticism, it’s that we’d appreciate the ability to separate these electronic sounds further into their constituent parts, but this isn’t something that any of our stem separation tools are currently capable of. Overall, Gaudio Studio's stem separation abilities make it a great choice for anyone looking to separate quality stems without shelling out for paid-for options that offer additional features and functionality. While the track featured no guitar or piano, Gaudio has separated the track’s synths and FX and grouped them into a singular ‘other instruments’ stem. One Night's drums have come out nicely, and Gaudio Studio has even managed to lift drum fills out with ease. The track’s synth bass stem has come out a little noisy, most likely because Gaudio’s algorithm is trained to pick out electric bass guitar as opposed to synth bass. On the electronic track, One Night, Gaudio Studio fared equally well, confidently picking out the heavily processed vocal lines, though in between each phrase there were some ghostly half-vocals that may need cleaning up. Gaudio has grouped the percussion and acoustic guitar into an ‘other instruments’ stem that sounds a little off in parts, though it picks out the strummed acoustic guitar chords nicely. The guitar stem sounds a little wonky in parts, but the drums came out beautifully, sounding mighty crisp - the stem could probably pass for a clean drum loop found in a sample pack. On Windowpane, Staffan’s multi-tracked vocal sounds decent, though some artefacts are audible on the very end of the vocal’s reverb tail. So how did Gaudio Studio do? The results are impressive. Gaudio Studio is one of the best-sounding stem separation tools we’ve tested Once it’s ready, hit the waveform icon and you’ll be presented with the player pictured below, which will allow you to listen to your stems before you download them. At this point, you’ll have to wait for the service to process your stems, which can take a little while - we waited about 10 minutes. You’ll be given the choice of which stems you’d like to receive from a list that includes vocals, bass, guitar, drums, piano and other instruments. There’s a maximum duration of 10 minutes per clip. Using Gaudio Studio is as simple as logging in and dropping your audio file in for upload. Unlike programs like RipX DeepRemix or Serato Sample, Gaudio Studio offers very few bells and whistles it’s simply a tool for extracting stems, not for doing anything creative with them afterwards. Though it’s in its beta version, it’s still one of the best stem separation tools we’ve heard, and excels particularly at lifting drums and vocals from mixes. Gaudio Studio is a browser-based service that can be used by anyone to separate stems absolutely free. Thanks to advances in machine learning and neural networks, stem separation software has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years, and today’s AI-powered tools are capable of lifting relatively clean and highly usable stems from almost any mix. We're not yet at the point where the stems generated sound entirely artefact-free, or exactly like real stems from an unmixed project, but the results are closer than ever: take a listen for yourself below. Thanks to advances in machine learning and neural networks, stem separation software has come on in leaps and bounds So why would you want to use stem separation? Many producers use it to break down existing tracks to create remixes and mashups, or to sample individual elements like vocals or drums from a full mix without other instruments or sounds getting in the way. In fact, some producers now won't even need to leave their DAW to separate stems: Image-Line recently announced that it will be integrating stem separation into FL Studio, and it’s likely that other manufacturers will soon be following suit. Those looking to separate stems in 2023 have a number of options, from browser-based services to standalone apps to VST plugins.
