The winner of our grand stem separation showdown is actually the only free option we’ve tested: Gaudio Studio. This verdict comes with a caveat, though. While Gaudio Studio narrowly edged past the competition when it came to the quality of the stems it produced (and its lack of a price tag) it was by far the least versatile choice in terms of additional features and functionality.
If you wants to chop up stems and play them with a sample instrument, you’d be better off using Serato Sample, and if you want to manipulate stems to create new sounds, then DeepRemix may well be the choice for you. If you’re an FL Studio user, taking advantage of 21.2’s stem separation is a no-brainer, or if you’re simply strapped for time and want real-time stem separation at a fair price, Acon Digital Remix is certainly worth a look. All of the options we surveyed have something going for them.
