Stem separation in Veena
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
- 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.
- Stop playback. Separation starts only while the transport is stopped.
- Right-click the clip and choose Separate into Stems. A "separating…" badge sits on the clip while the split runs on Veena's servers, 45 to 120 seconds for a full song.
- 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.
- Work with them. Solo the vocal, loop the chorus, lower the drums with their track fader in the console beside the timeline, 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. 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 do I keep working with separated stems in Veena?
Veena places the vocals, drums, bass and other stems on time-aligned tracks beside your original recording. Solo a part, balance it in the mixer or ask CoProducer to write a new instrument around it. Each stem remains editable, and Export lets you save the full mix or the individual tracks.
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.
Is there a free online stem splitter?
Yes. Veena is a free stem splitter that runs in your browser: drop in a song, right-click the clip and choose Separate into Stems, and it returns vocals, drums, bass and other on time-aligned tracks. There is nothing to install, no daily cap on splits and no watermark on the stems you export.
Do I need a stem splitter plugin or VST?
No. Stem separation is built into the Veena timeline, so you split a song in the same place you edit it, with no plug-in to install or host to open. The four stems land as editable tracks beside your original, ready to mix, remix or export.
