Who Is This For?
Use Cases by Instrument
Drummers
Remove drums, play along with the rest of the band. Great for learning fills and transitions.
Isolate drums to hear exactly what the drummer is playing. Perfect for transcription.
Bass Players
Remove bass, practice your part with drums and other instruments. Lock in with the drummer.
Isolate bass to hear the nuances - ghost notes, slides, and fingering techniques.
Pianists & Keyboardists
Keys are in the "other" stem. Play along with drums, bass, and vocals.
Isolate to hear chord voicings and comping patterns clearly.
Vocalists
Remove vocals to create karaoke tracks. Sing along with the instrumental.
Isolate vocals to study phrasing, breath control, and harmonies.
đ For Teachers: Creating Practice Materials
Choose a Song
Pick a song appropriate for your student's level. Consider:
- Tempo - slower songs are easier to learn
- Complexity - match to student's current abilities
- Musical interest - students practice more when they like the song
Separate the Stems
Upload to StemSplit and select "All Stems" to get maximum flexibility:
Create Practice Tracks
Mix the stems to create what your student needs:
Combine: bass + vocals + other (no drums)
Combine: drums + vocals + other (no bass)
Combine: drums + bass + other (no vocals) = Karaoke track
Share with Students
Provide both versions to your students:
- Isolated part - So they can hear exactly what to play
- Backing track - So they can practice playing along
- Full song - For reference
đ For Students: Learning Songs by Ear
Hear exactly what's being played without other instruments masking the details.
Use software like Audacity or Amazing Slow Downer to reduce tempo without changing pitch.
Focus on challenging passages until you master them.
Once you've learned the part, practice with the full band (minus your instrument).
Music Transcription
Stem separation makes transcription much easier. Instead of trying to pick out a bass line buried under drums and guitars, you can isolate it completely. Combine with:
- Slow-down software (Transcribe!, Amazing Slow Downer)
- Notation software (MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale)
- EQ to boost frequency ranges you want to hear
