Split a song into stems in Veena

Updated September 2026By Veena Studio

Stem separation in Veena splits any song or recording into four stems (vocals, drums, bass and other) and lays them on new tracks, lined up with the original, so you can remix, replace or rebuild any part. It's free: right-click a clip and choose Separate into Stems, or ask CoProducer to do it.

Veena is an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Describe the song you want and CoProducer builds it with you — beats, chords, melody, arrangement and mix — as real tracks you can edit, mix and export. Free, in your browser.

Stem separation in Veena, step by step

  1. Bring in the audio. Drag the file onto the timeline or click Upload in the transport bar. WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, AIFF and CAF files all import. For a video, right-click it and choose Separate Audio first.
  2. Stop playback. Separation starts only while the transport is stopped.
  3. Right-click the clip and choose Separate into Stems. A "separating…" badge sits on the clip while the split runs on Veena's servers, usually 45 to 120 seconds for a full song.
  4. Find your stems. Four new tracks appear beside the original, time-aligned with it: vocals, drums, bass and other. Veena mutes the original rather than deleting it, so you can compare at any time.
  5. Work with them. Solo the vocal, loop the chorus, pull the drums down in the Mixer, or export any stem on its own.

Ask CoProducer to split, then keep going

Typing works too, and CoProducer can carry on from the split in the same request:

  • "Split this song into stems."
  • "Isolate the vocals," which gives you two tracks, the vocal and the rest of the mix.
  • "Split this, mute the drums and write a new drum part at the song's tempo."

CoProducer measures every stem before it names one. If the song has no vocal, it tells you the vocal stem is close to silent instead of pretending otherwise. From there, it can transcribe a stem to MIDI, re-voice it as another instrument or write a replacement part; see basslines and 808s for an example.

If a split doesn't work

  • Nothing happens: the song is playing. Press Space to pause, then try again.
  • The clip is too long: press C for split mode, cut the clip in two and separate each half.
  • You need guitar or piano on its own: those stay in the other stem. Ask CoProducer to transcribe the other stem to MIDI and keep the notes you need, or to write the part again on a track of its own.
  • One stem is nearly silent: that element isn't in the song. When you split through CoProducer, it tells you which stem came back empty.

Stem separation is built for your own music: demos, rehearsal takes, old bounces and songs you have the rights to rework. For the quick versions of this job, the stem splitter and vocal remover pages walk through it in three clicks; to take stems out of Veena, see export formats. The glossary defines stem separation, and every capability is in the Veena help centre.

Isolate the vocals from this song, then build a new lo-fi instrumental under them at the song's tempo and key: dusty drums on the Brush kit, warm Electric Piano chords and a round Acoustic Bass line that follows the vocal phrasing

Frequently asked questions

Is stem separation in Veena free?

Yes. On Veena's free plan, right-click a clip and choose Separate into Stems at no cost; it doesn't use your daily CoProducer allowance, and there's no daily cap on splits. Asking CoProducer to split uses one request. On Veena Pro, separation draws on credits by processing time, and only successful runs are charged.

How many stems does Veena split a song into?

Four: vocals, drums, bass and other. Guitars, keys, synths and strings stay together in the other stem. Ask CoProducer to isolate one element instead and Veena gives you two tracks, that stem and the rest of the mix, which is the quickest way to an instrumental or an a cappella.

How long a song can Veena separate?

As of September 2026, Veena separates clips up to 95 MiB of audio, about 8½ to 9½ minutes of stereo. A full-length song takes about 45 to 120 seconds on Veena's servers. For a longer recording, split the clip in two on the timeline and separate each half.

Can I export the stems from Veena?

Yes. Open Export, choose WAV or MP3 and then Stems, and Veena writes one file per audible track into a zip, separated stems included. There's no cap on exports and no watermark on any plan, and any track you mute is left out of the zip.
