BandLab Splitter vs LALAL.AI

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.

LALAL.AI uses AI to separate vocals and instrument stems, clean voice recordings, change or clone voices, and reduce echo and reverb. Its available stem types include vocals, instrumental, drums, bass, electric and acoustic guitar, piano, synthesizer, strings, and wind instruments. The web vocal remover accepts audio and video formats, including MP3, WAV, FLAC, MP4, and MOV. Fast Queue prioritizes processing, while Relaxed Queue processes as server capacity allows; both provide the same separation quality. Usage minutes are calculated by multiplying file length by the number of selected stem types. The desktop app supports Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu Linux, with batch processing for up to 20 files; Pro subscribers can optionally process locally offline. The API and VST plugin offer other ways to use the tools. The free Starter plan includes 10 Relaxed Queue minutes, but does not allow full downloads. Lite costs $7.50 a month billed annually.
