AfinarTake a part out of the song. Then play it yourself.
Stem separation splits a song into its parts on your own Mac: drums, bass, guitars, keys, and vocals. Mute the stem you play and the band keeps going without you, so you are in the chair instead of playing over the person already in it.
For Mac.
Three steps, and the part is gone.
Bring the song.
An audio file you own, or a YouTube video Afinar has taken the audio from.
Separate it.
Afinar splits it into stems on your own Mac, in a couple of minutes.
Mute your part.
Isolate a stem, turn one down rather than off, or take the bass out entirely and play it yourself.
What it is actually for.
Play the empty chair.
The rest of the band is still there, in time, at tempo, every take.
Hear one part clearly.
Turn everything else down to work out what the bass is really doing in that bar.
Practice what you cannot hire.
A rhythm section that never gets tired, on any song you already own.
Stem separation is part of Afinar. There is no per-song charge and no monthly allowance, and the work happens on your Mac.
Four parts, or six.
Four.
Drums, bass, vocals, and everything else together. Quick, and enough for most songs.
Six.
The same, with guitar and piano pulled out on their own.
Your call, per song.
Pick when you separate. Do it again the other way whenever you want.
It happens on your Mac.
Separation runs on your own machine. Your song is not sent anywhere, there is no account to make, and no cloud service is doing the work. Afinar downloads what it needs the first time, and after that it works with no connection at all.
Which also means no queue, no monthly allowance, and no waiting for someone else’s server on the night before a rehearsal.
Afinar is in beta. Join now and your first year is free.
After that it’s $39.99 a year, everything included.
For Mac.
