Hear it before you commit
The preview is a real separation of one energetic section of your song, made with the same model as the full track. Try up to three sections. No account is needed for the preview.
2 stems or 4 stems
2 stems gives you vocals and instrumental, for karaoke, acapellas and practice. 4 stems gives you vocals, drums, bass and other, for remixing and production. Each stem is a stereo WAV at 44.1 kHz, the length of the original.
Runs in the background
The full separation runs on our servers. Go to your dashboard, come back later, and the stems are waiting. The model is Demucs, an open-source hybrid transformer for music source separation.
Use stems to learn and to make covers
Practise a song with the vocal removed, study how a singer phrases a line with the instruments taken away, or build a female version cover from a separated reference. The Learn section explains how.

Raga Yaman (Kalyani)
Yaman is a seven-note Hindustani raga, a melodic framework, with a raised fourth; Kalyani shares its scale but uses different phrasing and ornaments. Traditionally associated with evening, Yaman can sound serene or devotional; hear its character through Ni Re Ga, starting below Sa, the home note.
What is a raga? A plain-language guide for listeners
A raga is a melodic framework in Indian classical music for creating pieces and inventing melody during performance. Listen for four things: which notes appear, how the melody moves, where the musician lingers, and which short phrases return.
Raga Kirwani (Keeravani)
Kirwani is a raga, a musical framework, using C D Eb F G Ab B when Sa, its home note, is C. Heard in concerts, light classical music and film scores, it often suggests longing; listen for Ab rising to B, then C.
Raga Charukeshi (Charukesi)
Charukeshi comes from Carnatic music and uses Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, lowered Dha and lowered Ni. Heard in concerts, light music and film scores, its bittersweet character is clearest in the descent from lowered Ni through lowered Dha to Pa.
Raga Bhoop (Mohanam)
Bhoop, or Bhoopali, is a raga (melodic framework) using Sa, Re, Ga, Pa and Dha; Mohanam shares its notes, but uses Carnatic phrasing and ornaments. An evening raga with a calm, devotional mood, Bhoop is often taught early; hear its character through Ga Re Sa and Dha Pa Ga.
Questions people ask
Do I need an account to use the BeatRootRaga stem splitter?
Not for the preview. Upload a song and hear the separated vocals and instrumental without signing up. An account is needed to separate the full song and download the stems, so the results can be saved to your dashboard.
What is the 21-second preview in the BeatRootRaga stem splitter?
It is a real separation of one section of your song, made with the same AI model used for the full track. We choose one of the most energetic sections so you can hear how the separation handles a busy part of the song, giving you a representative sample of what to expect. If you would like to hear a different part, you can try up to two more sections.
What is the difference between 2 stems and 4 stems in the stem splitter?
2 stems gives you Vocals and Instrumental (everything except the vocals). 4 stems gives you Vocals, Drums, Bass and Other, where Other contains guitars, keys, synths and anything else that is not vocals, drums or bass. Choose 2 stems for karaoke or acapellas and 4 stems for remixing and production.
Which audio formats does the stem splitter accept?
MP3, WAV, FLAC and AIFF files up to 100 MB.
What format does the BeatRootRaga stem splitter export the stems in?
Each stem is a stereo WAV file at 44.1 kHz, the same length as your original song. You can play every stem in your dashboard and download them individually.
Do I have to wait on the page while the stem splitter processes the full song?
No. The full separation runs in the background on our servers. You can go to your dashboard, come back later, and the finished stems will be waiting there. While it runs, the page and your dashboard show its progress.
Which AI model does BeatRootRaga use for stem separation?
Demucs, an open-source Hybrid Transformer model for music source separation. The preview and the full song use the same model, so the preview gives you a representative sample of what to expect.
Can I use the stems commercially?
That depends on your rights to the original recording. Separating a song into stems doesn't change who owns the recording, so use stems only from music you own, have permission to use, or that is licensed for your intended use.
