Extract vocal and instrumental stems with Stem Splitter in Logic Pro for Mac
Stems are the individual tracks that combine to make up a multitrack mix. Using Stem Splitter, you can split an audio region such as a band recording into separate stems and use the individual stems in your projects. You can extract stems for vocals, bass, drums, and other instrumental parts.
Stem Splitter is available on Macs with an M1 or later Apple silicon processor.
Extract stems from an audio region with Stem Splitter
In the Tracks area in Logic Pro, Control-click the audio region, then choose Processing > Stem Splitter.
In the Stem Splitter dialog, checkboxes for all four stems (Vocals, Drums, Bass, and Other) are selected by default. Deselect the checkboxes for any stems you do not want to extract.
Click Split.
A summing stack is created below the track with the selected audio region. The subtracks of the summing stack contain the extracted stems. The original region is muted so that you can listen to the extracted stems immediately. You can solo individual stems using the Solo buttons in the subtrack headers, and you can move, copy, or edit each part in the same way as any audio region.
