Field notes · How it works

Three steps from mix to clean stems.

Upload a song, pick a network, get individual stems. No plugin chains, no manual spectral editing, no thirty-tab tutorials.

I

Upload your track

Drop an audio or video file into the web app, mobile app, or send it through the REST API. Batch uploads for whole folders are supported on paid plans.

II

Pick your network

Phoenix for state-of-the-art vocals. Perseus for transformer-based generalist work. Orion for professional mastering. Cassiopeia for softer legacy behavior. Try any of them on the same track.

III

Download the stems

Preview each stem in-browser, then download individual files or a ZIP. Stems are studio-usable — drop them into Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools, DaVinci or Premiere.

Signature lineup

A constellation of proprietary networks.

Every LALAL.AI neural network is named after a constellation and tuned for different musical material. You can try each on the same track and pick the cleanest result — no other separator gives you this many engines under one login.

2020 · GEN 1

Rocknet

First neural network

Trained on 20 TB of source material, Rocknet was the first LALAL.AI engine to extract vocals and instrumentals from any song.

Stems: 2 Status: Retired
2021 · GEN 2

Cassiopeia

Legacy · softer artefacts

Reduced the plastic-sound artefacts that plagued first-generation splitters. Kept as legacy for older catalogue work where Phoenix is too aggressive on consonants.

Stems: 8 Status: Legacy
2022 · GEN 3

Phoenix

State-of-the-art vocal

Twice as fast as Cassiopeia, cleaner vocal extraction, careful handling of backing vocals. Still the default engine for most stem-splitting jobs.

Stems: 10 Latency: 0.3× RT
2023 · GEN 4

Orion

Ensembled mastering

Ensembles Phoenix output with a second model. Recommended for professional mastering work when every dB of separation quality matters.

Stems: 10 Mode: Ensemble
2024 · GEN 5

Perseus

Transformer generalist

Advanced transformer-based architecture with enhanced processing modes. A generalist that holds up well across a wide variety of production styles.

Stems: 10 Arch: Transformer
2026 · GEN 7

Lynx

Voice clean · fastest

The 2026 network. Optimised for voice cleaning speed — outperforms every predecessor on plosive removal, hiss and mic rumble. Preceded by Andromeda 2025.

Focus: Voice Speed: Fastest
Party of four · Who it's for

Built for people who work with existing audio.

LALAL.AI is a separator, not a generator. If you already have a track — or a client's track — and you need clean parts out of it, this is the tool.

Producers & remixers

Pull the acapella out of a favourite track for a bootleg. Extract a bass line for a sample. Feed real vocals into your own arrangement.

Podcast & video editors

Rescue field recordings from ambient noise. Kill room reverb on interview takes. Strip background music behind dialogue.

Karaoke & teaching

Instrumental tracks with the vocal cleanly removed. Isolated vocals for practice. Solo instrument stems for classroom transcription.

ML & catalogue teams

REST API that ships into production. Batch upload for large catalogues. Predictable latency and rate limits for automated pipelines.

Excerpts from producer forums, remixer subreddits and independent tool reviews. One is a mixed rating — pretending everyone is thrilled is how you lose trust.

★★★★★
Phoenix on a modern pop track is genuinely uncanny. The vocal comes out clean enough to remix without the usual watery artefacts. This became a permanent tool in my chain.

★★★☆☆
Great on well-produced tracks, less great on old 1960s recordings or dense metal mixes. It is not magic. Try the trial on your own material before committing to a pack.

Dossier · The story

An audio-AI lab that has shipped a new engine every year.

LALAL.AI launched in 2020 as a product of OmniSale GmbH. The first neural network, Rocknet, was trained on 20 TB of source material and did one thing well — pull vocals and instrumentals out of any song. Then the pace of research picked up. Cassiopeia (2021) cut the plastic-sounding artefacts. Phoenix (2022) doubled the speed and set a new quality bar. Orion, Perseus, Andromeda and Lynx followed, each addressing a different bottleneck.

That cadence — a new neural network approximately every year, each named after a constellation — is why LALAL.AI stayed ahead while browser-tab vocal removers came and went. The company also expanded the product surface: web app first, then desktop clients for Windows, macOS and Linux, mobile apps for iOS and Android, a documented REST API, a VST plugin for DAWs, and an embeddable widget for websites. One account works across every surface.

Honest trade-offs. LALAL.AI is not free — there is a limited trial, then paid packs from around 15 USD. It is not a music generator — if you want to create original tracks from scratch, this is the wrong category. Results depend on source material: modern pop and rock split cleanly, while dense metal mixes or 1960s mono recordings can produce softer separation. And narrow instrument models (electric guitar, synth) work best when a single instrument dominates that bucket — on dense mixes, a four-stem split is usually more reliable than pushing for full ten-stem separation.

What you get in return: separation quality that ships into commercial pipelines, six named engines to choose from, and a product that has moved forward every year since 2020. See the live catalogue on the LALAL.AI blog for engine notes.

Debrief · FAQ

Questions worth asking straight.

Nine answers, no hedging. If a feature is missing or does not fit, we say so.

What does LALAL.AI actually do?

LALAL.AI takes a song or a video and separates it into clean audio stems: vocal, instrumental, drums, bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, synth, strings and wind instruments. You can extract one stem, extract several, or remove one and keep everything else. The result is studio-usable — mastering-grade for the strongest engines, and always cleaner than typical browser vocal removers.

Why does LALAL.AI use different neural networks?

Different material benefits from different models. Phoenix is the state-of-the-art vocal and instrumental extractor. Orion ensembles Phoenix with a second model for professional mastering work. Perseus is a transformer-based generalist with enhanced processing modes. Cassiopeia is kept as legacy for older material where Phoenix might be too aggressive on consonants. Andromeda is the 2025 quality benchmark. Lynx is the 2026 network optimised for voice cleaning speed. You can try different engines on the same track.

Is LALAL.AI free?

There is a limited free trial so you can hear the quality on your own material before paying. Full processing is paid — either through one-time credit packs starting around 15 USD, or ongoing plans. It is not an unlimited free tool. That is the honest trade-off for state-of-the-art quality, since running these neural networks at scale is not cheap.

Which stems does LALAL.AI support?

Up to ten: vocal, instrumental, drums, bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, synth, strings and wind instruments. Not every stem is present in every song — the split is only as clean as the source. On dense mixes with overlapping guitars and piano, a four-stem split (vocal, drums, bass, other) is usually more reliable than pushing for a full ten-stem separation.

Can I use LALAL.AI in a DAW like Ableton or Logic?

Yes — LALAL.AI ships a VST plugin for DAW integration. You can also send audio out to the web app or use the REST API from custom scripts. The API is what production teams use to process catalogues at scale, with predictable rate limits and average latency around 0.3 to 0.5 times real-time on Phoenix — a four-minute song processes in roughly 60 to 120 seconds.

Does LALAL.AI work on lead versus backing vocals?

Yes. There is a dedicated lead-and-backing vocal split. It works best on tracks with clearly defined vocal layers — for example a lead line with harmonies stacked above and below. On tracks where the backing is a chorus effect or double-tracked lead, the split is less clean. Try both engines on a short section before committing to a full track.

What about voice cleaning for podcasts and video?

The voice cleaner removes background music, plosives, mic rumble, hiss and clicks, and an echo/reverb removal tool handles boomy room recordings. It is a common workflow for podcast editors and video creators who have decent takes ruined by ambient noise. It is not a replacement for a good mic and treated room, but it rescues field recordings that would otherwise be unusable.

How does LALAL.AI compare to Moises, RipX and UVR?

LALAL.AI leads on separation quality and stem count, and it is the tool that ships into commercial production pipelines via the API. Moises has a stronger practice-focused feature set (chord detection, pitch shift, click tracks). RipX offers deeper editing of the separated audio inside its own DAW. Ultimate Vocal Remover (UVR) is free and open source, which matters if you cannot pay. Pick the tool that matches your workflow, not the leaderboard.

Who builds LALAL.AI?

LALAL.AI is a product of OmniSale GmbH, launched in 2020. The team has shipped a new neural network roughly every year — Rocknet, Cassiopeia, Phoenix, Orion, Perseus, Andromeda and the current Lynx. The pace of research is the reason quality kept improving beyond what most competitors match. It is not a hobby project — this is a specialist audio-AI company with a real engineering team and a documented API.
