# Stem Splitter

Split your song tracks into stems using the ACE Studio Stem Splitter.

## What Is Stem Splitter

Stem Splitter is a tool that allows you to split an audio clip containing a full mix into separate tracks for its core components, such as vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments.

## How to Use Stem Splitter

Stem Splitter operates on a selected region of your timeline. Click and drag on the Canvas to create a selection. Ensure this selection covers the audio clip you wish to split.

There are 3 ways to open the Stem Splitter panel:

* Click the **Stem Splitter** icon in the main toolbar.
* With your region selected, right-click on it to open the context menu. Navigate to the AI Tools submenu and select **Stem Splitter**.
* Click on the <kbd>Split into Stems</kbd> button at the left side of audio clip viewer. For more information about audio clip, please refer to [Clips](/project/arrangement-in-canvas/clips.md).

## Split Stems

Inside the Stem Splitter panel, you need to configure how you want to split the audio.

* Choose one of the 4 stem split modes:
  * Basic: Vocal + Instrumental
  * Professional: Vocal, Drums, Bass, Piano, Guitar, Others
  * Advanced: All detected stems
  * Customized: Describe the sound you want to isolate, such as traffic, crowd, talk, or birds, and Stem Splitter will extract it as a separate stem.
* Remove reverb and backing vocals, available in Basic and Professional mode.

After selecting the stem split mode, click the <kbd>Split</kbd> button. After a few seconds of process, the stems will be added down below the original track.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.acestudio.ai/ai-tools/stem-splitter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
