How to Remove Vocals or Music from a Song with Neume

With Neume, you can create original songs in just minutes - complete with lyrics, melodies, and full instrumentals. But the fun doesn’t have to stop there. Once your song is ready, you can separate it into vocals and instrumentals, so you can sing it in your own voice, perform it live, or put your own twist on it.

Want a karaoke version so you can belt it out yourself? No problem. Want just the vocals so you can remix them into a different beat? That’s easy too. Neume gives you both options, so you can take your music beyond the first version you create.

In the past, turning a finished song into separate tracks meant learning complicated audio software. With Neume, it’s built right in - you just choose the option you want, and your stems are ready to download in a few clicks.

What Are Stems in Music?

When you listen to a finished song, you’re hearing lots of different parts playing together - vocals, drums, guitars, synths, bass, and more. A stem is simply one of those parts on its own.

The two most common stems are:

• Vocals – the singing or spoken words in the song, without any music behind them.

• Instrumentals – all the music without the vocals.

By splitting a song into stems, you can work with each part separately. Singers often use instrumentals for karaoke or live performances so they can replace the original voice with their own. Producers and DJs might use vocals alone to remix them into a new track. And sometimes, artists just like to hear how each layer sounds on its own - it can be surprisingly inspiring.

On Neume, stems are created from songs you make in the platform. That means you can write your own lyrics, choose a style, let Neume create the music, and then break it apart into stems for whatever you want to do next - from singing your own version to building a remix.

Creating a Song with Neume

Before you can make stems, you’ll need a song to work with - and Neume makes that process simple.

Here’s how it works:

1. Sign in to Neume
   If you don’t already have an account, create one - it only takes a minute.

2. Describe your song
   Enter your lyrics, song idea, style, and any other details you want. You can keep it short and simple or go into as much detail as you like - Neume will use what you provide to shape the music.

3. Generate your track
   Neume will turn your description into a complete song with vocals, instruments, and a polished arrangement.

4. Listen and refine
   If you want to change something, you can adjust your input and generate again until you’re happy with the result.

Once your song is saved in Neume, you’re ready for the next step - creating stems so you can sing over it, remix it, or experiment with it in new ways.

Generating Stems for a Song in Neume

Once your song is ready in Neume, you can separate it into vocals and instrumentals in just a few clicks. This is perfect for karaoke, performing your own version, or creating remixes.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Open your song
   Go to your songs list in Neume and click on the track you want to work with.

2. Open the options menu
   On the song’s page, click the options menu (⋯) and select Stems.

3. Confirm in the dialog
   A dialog box will pop up. Click Generate Stems to start the process.

4. Wait for processing
   Stemming usually takes less than a minute. Once it’s done, you’ll see both vocals and instrumentals ready to play inside Neume.

5. Listening again later
   If you want to listen to the stems again later, just open the Stem dialog from the options menu - you don’t need to regenerate them.

6. Download your stems
   Save them to your device for singing your own version, remixing, or performing live.

With just a few clicks, you can turn your Neume songs into flexible, ready-to-use tracks for any project.

Tips for Best Results

Getting stems in Neume is quick and easy, but a few simple choices can make them even better:

• Put thought into your original song
  The clearer and more balanced your song is when you create it, the cleaner your stems will sound.

• Sing with confidence
  If you’re planning to replace the vocals with your own voice, practice with the instrumental a few times before recording.

• Use the stems for more than karaoke
  You can remix the vocals into a new beat, perform the song live with your own arrangement, or even layer new harmonies over the original.

• Keep your stems organized
  If you create a lot of songs, name your downloaded files clearly so you can find them easily later.

• Revisit the stem dialog
  Remember, you can listen to your stems in Neume anytime by opening the Stem option from the song’s menu - no need to regenerate them.

By keeping these tips in mind, you can make the most of Neume’s stem feature and turn your original songs into flexible tools for creativity, performance, and fun.
