StemDeck, a free, open-source and local AI stem separator
StemDeck is a free, open-source, and local tool that allows users to split audio files into six distinct stems like vocals, drums, and bass. It operates entirely on the user's machine without requiring accounts, uploads, or subscriptions.
Why it matters
It provides a privacy-focused, cost-free alternative to commercial cloud-based AI audio processing services.
Free, local stem separation. No account. No upload. No subscription.
Drop in an MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG/Opus, MP4, or M4A file, or paste a YouTube URL, and StemDeck splits the audio into up to six stems (vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, other). Play them back in a DAW-style multitrack mixer: mute, solo, balance levels, zoom the waveform, loop a region, and export individual stems or a custom mix. Everything runs locally on your own machine.
What is this? StemDeck is a stem separation tool, not a downloader. Its main job is processing audio you already own: drag an MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, or M4A onto the import bar and go. YouTube support is a convenience for content you have the right to process. StemDeck does not store, cache, or redistribute any downloaded content. Everything happens locally and nothing leaves your machine.
