BandLab Splitter vs Fadr

BandLab Splitter separates songs into stems so musicians can work with individual parts, including vocals, bass, drums and other instruments. It runs on Android, iOS and the web, though BandLab notes that features vary by platform and the latest Splitter features may not yet be fully accessible on Android. Free users can upload unlimited tracks, provided each file is under 15 minutes; accepted media includes MP3, WAV, M4A and video. Controls let users adjust stem volume, solo or mute parts, change the split configuration, and modify BPM, pitch or loop sections. Stems can be downloaded as audio or MIDI, or opened in BandLab Studio in either format. The free version separates four stem groups. Pro and Max add guitar, strings and piano isolation and faster separation. Splitter keeps up to three earlier sessions in Recently Imported. The Free plan costs nothing. BandLab Pro monthly costs $14.99 a month after a free 3-day trial; listed annual prices are $99,149 a year for Pro and $199,299 a year for Max.
