Instrument stems separable from a single audio file

02// Context
Note · 01

Musicians have always needed to isolate instruments to learn songs, remix tracks, or practice with a backing band. Traditional tools were expensive, slow, and required professional audio engineering knowledge. Isolator.ai was designed to make this powerful capability accessible to anyone with a phone.

Note · 02

The design challenge was making complex audio AI feel effortless — turning what used to take hours in a DAW into a workflow that takes seconds on a mobile device, without sacrificing the depth that professional musicians demand.

03// What was designed

Chord & Key Detection

Automatically identify the song's key and display real-time synced chords and guitar tabs as the track plays.

03

Smart Metronome

AI Stem Separation

The core feature: upload any song and Isolator.ai instantly separates vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and more into individual stems using state-of-the-art AI. Mute the vocalist to practice singing, isolate the drum track to learn the beat, or remove all instruments for an instant karaoke experience. High-fidelity separation available for premium users.

Practice Tools & AI Studio

Beyond stem separation, Isolator.ai is a complete musician's toolkit. Smart Metronome automatically generates click tracks synced to any song's tempo. Pitch & Speed Changer adjusts key and BPM without degrading audio quality. Chord & Key Detection identifies song keys and displays real-time synced chords and guitar tabs. The AI Studio goes further — generating entirely new instrument stems (bass, drums, harmonies) that adapt to your recording's style and harmony.
