Logic Pro Stem Splitter

Post by burpgun » Wed May 08, 2024 10:27 am

Apple's announced an interesting feature in a Logic update due very soon that will allow you to seperate a fully mixed track into stems based on instrument type. I've messed around with some of the AI based tools currently out there and know there are some more serious options available even now, it's kind of wild to see tech able to reverse engineer a track in this fashion.

A use case that facinates me is, imagine you just put up some sort of stereo mic to record your band jamming and capture everything in the rawest most live fashion possible. Then, drump the track into Logic, pull it apart and polish it as needed. If "Stem Splitter" can do this, that's pretty worthwhile.

This tech has been around for a little while now, usually in expensive restoration suites like iZotope RX.

Like many miracle drugs, it can sometimes work well enough to broadly accomplish what it says on the tin, but there are some trade-offs.

Of course we'll probably start to hear more and more of those unintended behaviors, and they may wind up interesting, and in 20 years people will be seeking them out and copying them...

This would be cool for bootlegs. Boost/clean up parts. (autotune if it's siouxsie).
