Remove drums or bass from a song online
The AI splits a song into tracks: vocals, drums, bass and the other instruments. To remove the drums or the bass, download the four files and mix back the ones you want in any audio editor or DAW.
How to remove the drums or the bass
- Split the song on the separation page in the “All tracks” mode.
- Download the archive — it holds four WAV files: vocals, drums, bass, the rest.
- Mix back the tracks you need. Without drums: vocals, bass and the rest; without bass: vocals, drums and the rest. The files have the same length, so just place them at the same point in an editor or DAW.
Split a song into tracks: what each one holds
- Drums — kick, snare, toms, cymbals: the whole percussion part.
- Bass — bass guitar or synth bass: the low line that carries the harmony.
- Vocals — the lead voice and backing vocals.
- The rest — guitars, keys, synths, strings and everything that did not go into the other three.
Who finds this useful
- Drummers — play along to a song without the original drums, keeping the bass and harmony.
- Bassists — remove the bass and play your own part in its place, or listen to the bass line alone and learn it.
- Producers and sampling — take a drum loop or a bass line on its own for a remix. Keep the rights to the original recording in mind.
- Learning parts — hear a single part without the rest of the mix.
Questions and answers
How do I cut the drums out of a song online?
Split the song into tracks, download the archive and mix the vocals, bass and the rest without the drum track. You get a drumless version to play along with.
How do I remove the bass from a song?
Same route: split the song and mix the vocals, drums and the rest without the bass. If some bass is still audible, it is bleed from neighbouring tracks, which can happen in dense mixes.
Can I split a song into tracks and instruments?
Yes, into four tracks: vocals, drums, bass and the other instruments. Guitars, keys and synths currently land together in one “rest” track.
What file format do I get?
Each track is a separate WAV file. All files have the same length and line up in time, so they sum without any offset.
How long are the files kept?
The finished archive is kept for 24 hours and then deleted automatically.
Can I use the extracted drums or bass in my own track?
Technically yes, but the rights to the original recording stay with the rights holder. A release of your own that uses other people's material needs permission; personal practice and learning parts do not.
