Top 5 Free AI Stem Splitters

Whether you’re producing remixes, sampling, or making backing tracks for practice, every creative in the music industry needs a stem splitter. Stem separation, although sometimes confused with a vocal remover, quickly splices a song into its constituent parts, with downloadable stems for vocals and accompanying instrumental parts.
There are lots of great AI-powered vocal removers and stem splitters that can take your production process to the next level, available without the need to download any plugins or music production knowledge. Best of all, the tools in this list are all free to trial or use, which makes pricing much less of a worry.
Let’s break down the top five free AI stem separation tools in the market:
BandLab's Stem Splitter
BandLab is built around an online DAW called BandLab Studio, with a large library of stock sounds and instruments. They also offer a four-track splitter, fittingly called Splitter, which uses AI technology to separate any quality stems into vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments. Afterwards, you can adjust the tempo and change the pitch. You can then download the stems or import them directly into BandLab Studio.
Moises AI's Stem Splitter Feature
Moises, an online AI music app, offers one of the most powerful track splitters available. The most interesting element is the track quantity selector, which lets you choose how to split your audio format. With 11 instruments and 2 voices, it’s perhaps the most versatile on this list. Get one vocal track, or split them into lead and harmonies. One instrumental track, or guitars and drums, or every instrument in its own track. You can further tweak the results by changing the tempo and key.
Some other interesting features are rolled into Moises’s tool. AI Lyric Transcription generates lyric sheets rapidly and AI Chord Identification identifies chords and syncs them with the music. Simply put them together to create play-along practice tracks.
Splitter AI
Splitter is a dedicated stem splitting app, with versions for web, mobile, and desktop. The more advanced 2 Stem X “karaoke generator” requires a subscription, but the free version includes a “low-quality” 5 stem splitter with up to 20 minutes of upload time.
Splitter automatically selects the necessary tracks based on the upload. You can download the individual stems, or adjust the speed with a slider. However, a BPM adjustment might be more useful to musicians and producers interested in mashups and practical use in their productions.
Voice AI's Stem Splitter Function
Voice AI offers an online AI vocal suite, though it has less functionality than the downloadable app. In addition to a very simple voice changer, it includes separate vocal remover and stem splitter tools.
Voice AI’s vocal separation AI model is extremely simple, turning out two downloadable vocal and instrumental stems with no additional tools. Furthermore, reverb and echo removal is offered as separate tools, instead of being built-in like Kits’s tool.
