Create and test your own song
You can create your own song and tested with the player on our website locally. First prepare the audio stems you want to use. For example create one audio file for vocals, one for drums and one for guitar. If you don’t know how to do that or you don’t have the individual instruments recordings, you can use AI to extract the audio stems from existing stereo song. You can download the Spleeter Audio Stem Extractor for Windows desktop or simply use it online. After that download our multichannel audio encoder. Drag and drop your prepared audio stems on the encoder window and click export. When the multi-channel file is exported head to our demo player page, select your multi-channel file, number of audio channels (same as the number of audio stems inside the song) and press play icon on the player. You should hear your own song. Enjoy :-).
