Stem Separation
Separate vocals and instruments.
Upload a song and OBS separates the stems with AI: Vocals, Drums, Bass, Guitar, Piano, Other and a complete Instrumental. Remove the vocals for an instrumental version, extract only the vocals, or solo and mute instruments and hear the difference instantly.
What can you use it for?
- Create a sing-along version by leaving out the vocals.
- Practise your own part with the rest of the band playing along.
- Create backing tracks for live performances.
- Use a single stem in your own production or lesson.

Karaoke and parties
You turn a separated song into a karaoke version with scrolling lyrics in the Karaoke Editor.
