A Free LALAL.AI Alternative With Nothing to Upload
LALAL.AI delivers high-quality stem separation — but you buy processing time in minute packages, and the free tier only previews a short segment. The more songs you split, the more it costs.
LA Studio's stem splitter exports six stems free — vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other. Most free tools stop at two stems (vocal/instrumental); this one separates guitar and piano too. Processing happens in your browser, so the song is never uploaded.
Everything runs in your browser — your audio is never uploaded.
What LALAL.AI does well
In fairness: LALAL.AI offers a wide catalog of separation models — beyond vocals and instruments it has specialized models like echo and noise removal, its large server-side models are consistently good, and it offers batch processing and an API.

Frequently asked questions
Can I really export full-length stems free?
Yes — the 6-stem split and WAV export are free. Only the higher-quality cloud AI separation (HQ vocals) is a Pro feature.
Is my song uploaded?
The free 6-stem split runs in your browser with nothing uploaded. Only the Pro HQ separation uses the cloud for processing.
Is the quality equal to LALAL.AI?
The in-browser model (Demucs family) is strong for a free tool, but large server-side models can win on some material. Try free first; upgrade to HQ separation or a paid service only if you need it.
Can I make karaoke tracks?
Yes — mute the vocal stem and export the instrumental. There is also a dedicated karaoke maker.
How many songs can I split free?
There's no per-song cap on the standard 6-stem split (speed depends on your device).
