Feature / Stems

Split any song into vocals and instrumental. On your iPhone. Nothing uploaded

VibeDeck Stems separates a song from your library into two parts, the vocals and the instrumental, right on your iPhone. Switch between Original, Vocal and Instrumental while the track plays, without losing your place, then export the part you need. Your music never leaves the phone.

VibeDeck Stems splitting a song into vocal and instrumental on iPhone

You want the instrumental to sing over, or the vocals alone to learn the words, and the song is one single file. Online vocal removers make you upload it and wait in a queue. Stems does the split with an AI model on the phone and keeps the result for next time.

Features / 03

One song, three versions

  • Original, Vocal, Instrumental

    Tap a part to hear it. Switching keeps your place in the track, so you can compare them in a second.

  • Tempo, loops and effects stay

    Slow the instrumental down, loop a hard line of the vocal, add echo or space. The Studio tools keep working on every part.

  • Export each part

    Share the vocal or the instrumental as its own file: for karaoke, practice, covers, remixes and DJ edits.

How to split a song into stems on iPhone

  1. Install VibeDeck Player from the App Store.
  2. Open a song from your library and go to Studio.
  3. Tap STEMS.
  4. Wait while VibeDeck separates the song. On a recent iPhone Pro it takes about as long as the song itself.
  5. When the screen says Stems ready, choose Original, Vocal or Instrumental.
  6. To keep a part, tap the Vocal or Instrumental export button and send it to any app.

Good to know

  • First use: VibeDeck downloads the separation engine once from the App Store. After that, stems work offline.
  • Once per song: the parts are saved, so next time the song opens with its stems ready. A small mark in the library shows which songs have them.
  • Leave the app any time: separation pauses and continues when you come back.
  • Private by design: the split runs on the iPhone. Nothing is uploaded.

What people use stems for

  • Karaoke: play the instrumental and change the key to fit your voice.
  • Learning songs: the vocals alone, slowed down, to catch every word.
  • Practice: play your instrument over the instrumental.
  • Remixes and DJ edits: export an a cappella or an instrumental and build on it.

Every new user gets 48 hours with everything unlocked, with no card and no sign-up. After that the free version plays music, also in the background. Stems, Studio, the Sampler, pitch and the other tools need VibeDeck PRO.

Make stems only of music you have the right to use. Songs by other artists are usually protected by copyright.

FAQ / 07

VibeDeck Stems: FAQ

How do I remove vocals from a song on iPhone?

Open the song in VibeDeck Studio, tap STEMS and choose Instrumental when the stems are ready. You can also export the instrumental as its own file.

Can I get only the vocals (a cappella)?

Yes. Choose Vocal to hear only the voice, or export it with the Vocal button.

Is my music uploaded?

No. The separation runs on your iPhone. Only the separation engine is downloaded, once, the first time you use Stems.

How long does it take?

On a recent iPhone Pro, about as long as the song. Older iPhones take longer. If you leave the app, the split pauses and continues when you return.

Can I slow down or loop the instrumental?

Yes. Tempo, loops and effects stay available after you switch parts, and switching keeps your place in the track.

Which files can I split?

Songs in your VibeDeck library: MP3, WAV, FLAC and the other formats VibeDeck plays.

Is it free?

Every new user gets 48 hours with everything unlocked, with no card and no sign-up. After that the free version plays music, also in the background. Stems, Studio, the Sampler, pitch and the other tools need VibeDeck PRO.
