BandLab Splitter vs TuneStems

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.

TuneStems separates songs into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other instrument stems through a web service. Its modes include 6-Stem Separation, Vocals / Instrumental, Extract One Instrument and All-In Ensemble. The site describes uses such as remixing, DJ edits, music practice, creator clips, production preparation and song analysis. Users can preview each stem in the results area or a share view, then download individual stems in MP3, WAV, FLAC or M4A. The homepage lists audio and video uploads, including MP3, WAV, FLAC, MP4 and MOV, with a stated limit of 100 MB and five minutes; plan details give different file limits. TuneStems says it can be tried without sign-up for up to five minutes per track. The Free plan is free and includes 151 welcome credits, but downloads unlock after a purchase. Paid plans include a 5.90 USD one-time Starter Pack. The service is operated by BMTech Nexus LLC, a United States-based team, and is headquartered in Sheridan, Wyoming, United States.
