LALAL.AI Review – Is This The Best Stem Splitter On The Market?

Table of Contents

Ever thought about extracting vocals or removing background noise from your favorite tracks? I recently discovered a tool that does just that—LALAL.AI (www.lalal.ai ).

In this LALAL.AI Review, I’ll share my experience using this fantastic AI technology that musicians and producers are raving about.

The magic of LALAL.AI lies in its ability to effortlessly separate audio elements like vocals, instruments, and even specific sounds. With millions of satisfied users, it’s clear that LALAL.AI is hitting the right notes and transforming how we handle music and sound.

Want to know how this can make your music projects smoother and more creative? Learn how LALAL.AI can change your music production game and why it’s worth your attention.

What is lalal.ai?

First thing first: What is lalal.ai?

LALAL.AI is an AI-powered music separation and vocal remover service that can extract different stems from songs with high accuracy and speed.

It enables users to remove vocals, drums, bass, piano, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and synthesizer tracks from a song, claiming to be able to do so without compromising quality.

It’s an online tool that uses machine learning to automate the whole process, and users can upload their song files to the platform via their website or their downloadable app.

Who and what is lalal.ai useful for?

LALAL.AI is a helpful tool for musicians, producers, and audio engineers who need to extract individual tracks from a mixed song for various purposes, such as remixing, sampling, or mastering.

It also benefits karaoke enthusiasts who want to remove vocals from a song to sing along with the instrumental track.

I’ve also read that some content creators use it to add background music to their videos or podcasts without violating copyright laws. However, I’m not 100% sure if simply removing an element from the original track stops the violation of copyright laws, so I’d caution against that!

How do you use Lalal.ai?

One of the amazing things about LALAL.AI is the simplicity of the tool.  It’s so, so, so super easy that anyone from amateur to professional can use it.

Simply follow these steps:

Step One

Go to the LALAL.AI website here and sign up. Don’t worry, this part is free – and the tool gives you 10 mins and 50mb for listening (without downloading). 

Download the Desktop app from the Tools & API section, or to use the browser version, click on Products and Stem Splitter.

Step Two

Upload the song that you want to extract individual tracks from.

If you’re using the desktop app, it’ll look like this:

Www.lalal.ai Review

Either drag & drop the file, or hit the + button.

Step Three

Select the tracks you want to extract, such as vocals, drums, bass, piano, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, or synthesizer.

Again, if you’re using the desktop app (which I’d recommend as it feels more ‘professional’ than the browser app), it’ll look like this:

Www.lalal.ai Review

You can see at the time of our reviewing, the Synth, Strings and bottom option (which is Wind) is still in Beta.

Step Four

Wait!  It only takes a few seconds while the AI processes the song.  It’s not even enough time to make a cup of tea! 

First it’ll upload…

Www.lalal.ai Review

Then it’ll process…

Lalal.ai Review

Step Five

When it’s completed, you’ll get a notification and two buttons to click:

Lalal.ai Review
  1. Process the entire file – you can see I have 300 minutes in my balance. If I process the entire file, it’ll dock my minutes from my balance.
  2. The folder icon – this is really what you want to hit first.  It’ll open up the folder on your computer that has downloaded two files.
Lalal.ai Review

The reason you want to press the folder icon first and NOT the ‘process entire file’, is that you can listen to the first minute of the tracks that have been stemmed out.  This doesn’t cost you any credits from your balance, and you can do this as many times as you want to.

It’s essentially a way of you testing if LALAL.AI has done a good enough job for you to use up your credit balance.

If, and only if you are happy with the results, should you press ‘Process the Entire File’. When you do this, it’ll do exactly as it says on the tin, do the whole file (and not just the first minute).  This is then taken from your credit balance.

Step Six

There is no step six! There are no other options, or preferences for you to deal with.  It really is as simple as that!

Www.lalal.ai Review

What stems can be split? And what are the results like?

To test out LALAL.AI, I decided to use tracks I have not only mixed, but also orchestrated, arranged and conducted.  They are all challenging tracks – an orchestra is more difficult to handle than a band, especially when all the elements on the track were recorded at the same time, in the same space.

If anything is going to put the software to the test, it’s these tracks…

Vocal and Instrumental

Piano

Wind

Www.lalal.ai Review

Drums

This could be really useful if you want to change the feel of a track after mix.

Bass

I’m not sure when you’d want to use this, but assuming you’re unhappy with the bass playing, this should work well.

Voice and Noise

This is the ‘least special’ element for me about LALAL.AI – there are many tools to remove background noise and pops from pure vocals.  

Acoustic Guitar

I suspect like the wind above, this will do an OK job – but not perfect.  It could be useful for toning down the guitars.

Electric Guitar

Same as the acoustic guitar above.

Synth

I don’t use synths much in my music, so I haven’t tested this. However, I guess it could come in very useful if you’re unhappy with your synth programming.  Although I’d be interested to know how it identifies with things like synth strings and brass, for example.

Strings

We quite often have to remove strings from a track so they can be played live instead, so this options, once out of beta, would be super helpful.

Www.lalal.ai Review

Does Lalal.ai actually work?

Well, as you can see on this LALAL AI review, it does absolutely work.  

In fact, it’s amazingly clever. I  really have no idea how it does what it does.  Removing the vocals is one thing, but making the backing track continue like a vocal was never there… well, that’s really clever!

Does it work WELL ENOUGH though to use on the professional circuit…?

My Final Thoughts - Would I Recommend It?

After exploring LALAL.AI’s features and capabilities, I’m pretty impressed. This AI-powered tool makes audio editing simpler and faster.

Its user-friendly interface means even beginners can jump right in. The unique separation of vocals and instruments is a game-changer. It’s incredible how well it works with both audio and video files.

I also appreciate its flexible pricing options. There’s a plan for everyone, whether you’re a casual user or a professional.

Pros:

  • Easy to use.
  • Accurate vocal and instrumental separation.
  • Suitable for beginners and professionals.

Cons:

  • Some features need refinement for specific needs.

LALAL.AI is a solid choice for anyone serious about audio editing. Whether creating a podcast, remixing tracks, or just needing clean audio, this tool can save you time and effort. Give it a try!

    I paid for the LALA Pro version as i wanted to use it for 30 sec commercial voice over clean ups. However, i have found the service and response from LALA help desk so bad and the download process so clunky and user-unfriendly, I have had to go to another website – media.io – and purchase a plan from them. The previews from LALA sounded great but the site is unusable as far as getting those previews downloaded. Really disappointing.

      Sorry to hear that. I’ve been using LALA since the review, and never had any issues with it…
