## What is SongStems?

SongStems uses AI-powered stem separation to break any song into individual tracks — vocals, drums, bass, and more. Everything runs on your device, so your music library stays completely private. Whether you're a singer creating instant backing tracks or a musician drilling a tough passage, SongStems helps you learn faster.

REMOVE VOCALS & ISOLATE STEMS
Strip out vocals to create karaoke-style backing tracks in seconds. Isolate drums, bass, or other instruments so you can focus on the part that matters to you.

100% ON-DEVICE — YOUR MUSIC STAYS PRIVATE
All stem separation happens locally on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is shared. Your music is yours.

LOOP & PRACTICE
Set loop points around any section of a song and repeat it until it's second nature. Slow it down without changing the pitch — perfect for mastering difficult riffs, solos, or vocal runs.

REMIX YOUR LOOPS
Slice any loop on the beat and rearrange it into something new. Reorder, repeat, or drop the pieces, roll the dice for instant variations, or build your own pattern from scratch — with full control over which stems you hear.

BUILD PLAYLISTS
Organize your practice sessions by creating playlists of songs and stems. Queue up your setlist, group songs by key or difficulty, or build a warm-up routine — whatever fits your workflow.

EXPORT YOUR STEMS
Save separated tracks to use however you like — bring them into your DAW, share them with bandmates, or keep them for practice on the go.

FREE TO START
Try stem separation free, and preview remixing before you buy.

UNLOCK EVERYTHING
A single in-app purchase unlocks unlimited stem separations and unlimited saved remixes — no subscriptions, no hidden fees.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-07

Remix your loops. In the Loops tab, long-press any loop and choose Remix:
• Slice a loop on the beat, then reorder, repeat, or drop the pieces to build a new groove
• Roll the dice and let Shuffle or Scramble arrange it — or clear the lane and build your own pattern piece by piece
• Preview as a seamless loop while you edit, muting and unmuting stems live
• Your remixes live right beside your loops — tap to play, reopen to tweak, or share as audio
• Remixes follow your song's speed and pitch, so you can slow one down and practice over it

Also in this update:
• Super Slow library — every saved Super Slow render, from every song, in one place in the Loops tab. Create one straight from any loop.
• Beat snap — loop handles can now snap to every beat, not just bar lines, for riffs that start mid-measure
• Rename or delete loops right from the Loops tab

Remixing is free to try. SongStems Pro unlocks unlimited stem separations and unlimited saved remixes — one purchase, no subscription, and everything runs on your device.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-20

Two big improvements to loops:
- New Loops tab: all your saved loops from every song in one list — tap to play, toggle instruments, filter, sort, rename, and export.
- Snap to Beats: snap loop points to the bar or to every beat for clean, in-time loops (now you can start a loop on the 3 or the 4).

### 1.2 — 2026-05-30

Super Slow
  
  Ever wondered what your favorite song sounds like stretched into pure atmosphere? Super Slow slows any track down — up to 50× —
  until the melody dissolves into a vast, drifting wash of sound.

  - Pick a section, drag the slider, and watch a 10-second hook unfold into minutes of ambience
  - Slow the whole mix, or just one stem — a slowed vocal becomes a ghostly choir; slowed drums become distant thunder
  - The further you go, the more it blooms: shimmering, weightless, unrecognizable
  - Save your favorite Super Slows to each song and come back to them anytime
  - Export them to use as ambient backdrops, sleep sounds, or share the weirdness

  Turn three minutes of pop into an hour of cathedral.

### 1.1 — 2026-05-05

Big improvements to song analysis accuracy:
  - Fixed key detection — songs were sometimes labelled three semitones off. Now correct.
  - More accurate BPM — better tempo detection and beat-grid alignment, especially on songs with quiet intros or unusual openings.    
  - Low-confidence badge — when we're not sure about the BPM, the badge shows a "?" so you know to double-check.                      
  - Re-analyze any time — long-press the key or BPM badge to re-run analysis. After stems are separated, the key badge also offers a  
  "drums removed" option for cleaner results on drum-heavy tracks.

### 1.0 — 2026-04-09

No release notes.
