Which production question does each of the six stems answer?+
Solo vocals to inspect delivery, drums for transient timing, bass for low-end notes, guitar or piano for harmonic roles, and Other for remaining synthesis, strings, effects, or uncategorized material. Every file is an estimate from the same stereo source, not an original session multitrack.
How should I prepare a song before splitting it into stems?+
Prefer the cleanest available version. Lossy compression, clipping, dense arrangements, stacked vocals, reverb, and distortion reduce the evidence available for assigning overlapping sound. WAV or FLAC avoids another lossy encode, but no file extension can recover detail already missing from the mix.
How do I identify bleed in a separated stem?+
Solo the estimate, then switch rapidly between it and the same passage in the master. Listen for another role entering with shared notes, transients, effects, or stereo position. Check dense hooks and transitions first; bleed often becomes clearer there than in a sparse intro.
When are six outputs more useful than a vocal split?+
Use the outputs for arrangement study, practice, transcription support, authorized remix preparation, or replacement tests. Pick Vocal Remover instead when the only decision is voice versus backing; six-stem separation is useful when an individual instrument role must be inspected.
Which files enter the stem splitter, and where do results appear?+
Upload MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, or FLAC up to 100MB, or choose an eligible My Songs source. A new upload remains for seven days. The workflow saves six private results beside the source in My Songs so each role can be reviewed as it completes.
Does separating a song grant permission to remix or sample it?+
Separation creates working files but grants no copyright, master-use, publishing, sampling, or distribution permission. Use only audio you own or are authorized to process, and confirm that the intended remix, sample, practice file, or DJ edit is covered before export or release.
