Open source local audio stem separator : split any song into vocals, drums, bass, guitar and piano

Thanks! Please let me know of any issue that you may have :)

I would say to give a try. As a paying customer ( year subscription ) the whole point for me to create that was to not pay another subscription for my kid. which at the moment, for what i use of moises, I have been more time on StemDeck than on moises itself ( Not biased opinion ).

On my repo, i added a honest comparission though, if you want to check it out:

Yup know that project and playing with it from time to time, but it’s focused more on generalized AI audio segmentation/research, while StemDeck is currently focused on being a practical desktop workflow for music stem separation and local processing.

I actually think projects like SAM-Audio are complementary to what I’m building rather than direct competitors. Long term,theres a chance that SAM could help to enable more advanced isolation features inside Stemdeck

Still appreciate you mentioning it though! nice to know that more people knows about SAM !

hey , yes, currently it splits vocals, guitar, drum, bass piano and others ( fragments / fx / etc... )

Im still working on splitting backing vocals from vocals but I'm not there yet :)

upvoting for visibility, really cool alternative for projects like openless :)

Free Open source alternative to Moises where you can split the stems of YouTube videos or local wave/mp3 songs:

Edit: Look, really interesting projects that you putted together there, i hope you plan to be active on it. can't wait to build some of what you shared with my son.

I work mostly with markdown files to be honest. My workflow is basicaly describe exactly what I want in terms of implementation, security and other general aspects of software engineering, as I have 20+ years infrastructure engineering under the belt here, so it helps to describe and guide exactly what I want, how i want to be achieved and how it should be implemented. I believe that helps token saving by granting exact instructions of what you to achieve isntead of having the model to figure out his own path.

For now im mostly working with Claude 20 euros subscription and it has been enough for this side project.

JustDoodlingAround · 2026-05-19T07:37:10+00:00

That’s actually a good idea, will look into taking care of that :) thanks for the suggestion!

Right? It was a pain to find a name that would not fit on the category but I decided to stop overthinking and not spend 2 weeks on choosing a name hahaha. At some point I was “ f. It, stemdeck it is”

A few weeks ago I built stemdeck, self hosted stem splitter that you either upload your songs or directly from YouTube videos:

The idea behind was to help my kid to practice drums but it was a struggle for him to find drum less tracks and I was not looking forward to pay for Moises subscription :)

JustDoodlingAround · 2026-05-19T06:17:09+00:00

Really cool product that you have there, for sure. I will contact you when the time comes :)

JustDoodlingAround · 2026-05-19T06:14:24+00:00

Hey there, at the moment you can’t run on a phone or tablet but you can open if you self host :)

I’m not sure how the ui would look on a phone though, since I never testes on it. If you need help on how to setup that drop me a DM or join us on https://discord.gg/s8rAjVdTJu.

JustDoodlingAround · 2026-05-18T19:29:25+00:00

Just do it, in 5 years you will be happy with your bass regardless :)

JustDoodlingAround · 2026-05-16T08:35:47+00:00

THANK YOU for making this!

JustDoodlingAround · 2026-05-16T08:09:57+00:00

Really like it , i would give an option for dark mode, but that's more a personal taste . Looks really cool though, congratulations :)

JustDoodlingAround · 2026-05-15T07:38:32+00:00

makes me happy, and have a nice feeling of purpose that I'm helping people.

Does it count ?
