Riffloop is a stem splitter and vocal remover for musicians. It pulls a song apart so you can hear the part you are trying to learn, then loop it and slow it down. Add a song and Riffloop splits it into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and everything else. Mute the guitar and play it yourself. Remove the vocals and sing karaoke. Solo the bass and work out what it is doing. Separation runs on your iPhone, so your audio is never uploaded. YOUR FIRST SONG IS FREE, IN FULL Your first split is the whole song, every part, at no cost. Hear what Riffloop does with your own music before you decide anything. STEM SPLITTER • 4 or 6 stems: vocals, drums, bass, other, plus guitar and piano • Vocal remover and acapella: drop the vocals for karaoke, or keep only the vocals • Backing tracks: mute the parts you play and keep the band • Choose the section you are working on, or the whole song • Add songs from Files, from your videos, or from a link to a file, up to 10 minutes • Or capture audio playing on your iPhone PRACTICE • A fader for every stem, with mute and solo • Loop any A to B section and save the loops you come back to • Slow down music to half speed or speed it up to 1.5x, without changing the pitch • Key changer: move the pitch up or down by as much as 12 semitones • A metronome that follows the song's own beat CHORDS • See the chords as the song plays, with guitar shapes in easy or barre form • The song's key and tempo, read from the audio EXPORT • Save your mix, every stem as its own file, or a single part • MP3 and M4A, plus lossless WAV on Pro START WITH THE DEMO A short song comes already split, with a quick walkthrough of the mixer, so you can try everything before you add your own.
