BandLab Splitter vs StemConsole

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.

StemConsole is a browser-based tool for separating music recordings into stems, mixing the parts, and downloading the result. It accepts MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, AAC, and WMA files up to 200 MB. Vocal Remover separates vocals from the instrumental; Basic Split provides vocals, drums, bass, and other parts; Full Separation adds guitar and piano. In the mixer, users can solo, mute, and balance individual parts, loop a passage, and create a custom mix. Pro adds stem speed and key controls, named loops, count-in, tap tempo, WAV exports, and priority processing. Free accounts include 5 monthly splits; Pro includes 100 monthly splits, with terms describing a fair-use cap of up to 15 splits per day. Plans include Free, a Single credit for 1.99 USD once, Pro monthly at $6.99 a month, and Pro yearly at $49 a year. Sign-in is available through Google or an email link. The maker says uploads are not sold or used to train AI models; uploaded audio and generated stems are stored temporarily for up to about 90 days before automatic deletion.
