LALAL.AI now detects six different stem types from audio or video sources – and works entirely offlineAI-powered stem extractor LALAL.AI has had a glow up. Now, the multi-stem separation plugin can detect up to six different types of stems from any audio or video you load into it – and it works entirely offline.
While the original version only offered vocal and ‘instrumental’ stems, the latest update allows users to pick out specific instrument stems and vocal tracks. The selection includes: vocals, bass, drums, and piano stems, as well as distinctive acoustic and electric guitar stem extraction. And this is ontop of the plugin’s noise cancellation, intelligent removal of background music and vocal cleaning abilities.

In order to extract your stems, users simply need to drop an audio file into their DAW, load up the plugin and select which stems are desired. Then, the plugin is able to instantly provide you with high-quality stems, with no limit on how many stem extractions you can perform – and it’s all done locally without the need for an internet connection, to help minimise on latency.
Last year, LALAL.AI made it on to MusicTech’s round-up of best stem separation tools. While we particularly took a shining to the plugin’s vocal separation, the new, more specific selection of instrumental stem extraction options is a game changer. It’s also upgraded to operate on Lyra, another marker of the plugin’s nifty evolution.
“Local stem separation is the future of audio production,” Nik Pogorsky, Product Owner & Co-Founder of Lalal.ai, explains, “With the launch of our six-stem VST, we are proving that the calibre of our algorithms can now live entirely on the user’s machine. We specifically engineered the Lyra model to provide professionals with the perfect equilibrium between processing speed and isolation precision. This release reflects the mission of making sophisticated AI invisible and seamlessly integrated into the daily lives of engineers and producers.”
LALAL.AI is compatible with Ableton, FL Studio, Reaper, or any other VST3-compatible DAW, and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The plugin costs £15.99 a month, or £144 for a full year.
