Split any song into four separate tracks. Audio Editor: Stem Separation pulls drums, bass, vocals and everything else apart in one tap, so you can mute the singer for karaoke, keep the vocal on its own for a remix, or rebalance the mix until it sits right. Everything runs on your device — your audio is never uploaded. SEPARATE ANY TRACK Drop in a song and get four clean stems: drums, bass, vocals and other. Play them together on one transport, ride a fader for each, and share any stem on its own. REMOVE VOCALS FOR KARAOKE Pull the vocal down to silence and keep the band. Or keep the vocal and drop everything else for an acapella. CLEAN UP A RECORDING Take out hiss, hum and room tone with a choice of three models — they are different answers, not a quality ladder, so you pick the one that suits the take. ENHANCE A VOICE More than noise removal: a high-pass, a presence lift, a compressor and a broadcast loudness target, in three finishes for podcasts, interviews and voiceovers. RECORD ON THE SPOT Capture a take with a live meter and a peak readout, then send it straight into any of the tools. FIX A VIDEO'S SOUND Treat a movie's soundtrack and put it back, with the picture copied frame for frame rather than re-encoded, then save it to Photos. A REAL MULTITRACK EDITOR Lanes, trim, move and split on a pinch-zoomable timeline. Volume, speed, pitch, fade and reverb on any clip. Export the whole arrangement as one file. EVERYTHING IS KEPT Every recording, every clean, every separation and every project is saved automatically and reopens exactly where you left it. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE All processing runs locally on your iPhone. No account, no upload, no server.
