AudioShake Debuts New Instrument Separation Models

AudioShake
September 23, 2025

AudioShake has launched new separation models for drums, bass, piano, guitar, winds, strings, and other.  These new instrument models build on the success of our state-of-the-art vocals model, which set a new worldwide benchmark for voice separation quality. These are the most accurate instrument models on the market, trusted by top labels and publishers like Universal, Warner, Sony, Disney Music Group, Downtown, and Concord, as well as thousands of independent musicians. The models allow creators and rights holders to isolate individual instruments from a mix with unmatched clarity.

What Are Instrument Separation Models?

Instrument separation models use AI to separate a fully mixed audio track into individual instrument components—like drums, bass, piano, guitar, winds, strings, or “other”– called “stems.” Each instrument is extracted as a separate track, so creators, audio engineers, and rights holders gain precise control over the sound, enabling better editing, mixing, mastering, and content management workflows.

Why This Matters

AudioShake’s models provide the best stems on the market, giving the music industry, rights holders, and independent musicians precision and flexibility not available elsewhere. Together with our state-of-the-art vocals model, these instrument models ensure that creators and rights holders have access to the most advanced separation tools available today. Benefits include:

  • 🎼 High-fidelity stems suitable for sync, remixes, immersive mixing, and catalog work.
  • ⚡ Efficient workflows for engineers, producers, and developers.
  • 🌍 Broader creative opportunities for licensing, education, and new tools.
  • 📀 Trusted results used across the world’s largest catalogs and indie projects.

How Do the New Models Work?
  1. Upload a song or recording into AudioShake.
  2. Select which instruments to separate (drums, bass, piano, guitar, winds, strings, or “other”). You can select multiple stems for each recording you process.
  3. AudioShake processes the file and isolates each instrument
  4. Review the quality of your separation
  5. Download individual stems
