Multiband Stem Splitter Online

Route one recording into complementary Low, Mid and High frequency stems. Set both crossovers, inspect the spectrum, audition the routing and export three files that reconstruct the decoded source.

SPECTRAL MAP

Three-Way Crossover View

See where tone changes across the frequency range. Read the curve from low to high frequency, then connect every visible move to something you can actually hear in the source.

  1. Start with the right material

    Sound design layers, crossover inspection, sub-bass control, PA preparation and exporting frequency-focused material for processing in a DAW.

  2. Understand the transformation

    Adjustable crossover filters derive low and mid bands while residual subtraction keeps the high path complementary, so the three finite PCM stems sum back to the decoded source within floating-point tolerance.

  3. Verify the usable result

    Solo and reconstructed audition, per-band energy feedback and exact-length Low, Mid and High WAV files with an optional local package.

Crossover sum

Where this workflow stops

Frequency overlap means a voice or instrument can appear in several bands. This is not AI source separation, linear-phase mastering or a replacement for listening to crossover phase and headroom in context.

THREE-PASS CHECK

Make the final decision by ear

  • Sweep or solo only to locate a problem; make the final decision in context.
  • Watch broad tonal balance as well as narrow resonances.
  • Recheck level after any boost so the comparison stays honest.
Exact routing
High is the floating-point residual after Low and Mid, so all three unity stems sum back sample by sample.
Offline crossover
Forward-reverse filters create 12, 24 or 48 dB/oct zero-phase bands without crossover delay between exports.
DAW-ready package
Three exact-length 32-bit float WAV files, individually or in a stored ZIP with a machine-readable manifest.

How to split audio into frequency stems

  1. Load an audio file from this device or generate the local 100 Hz, 1 kHz and 8 kHz demo.
  2. Choose the Low/Mid and Mid/High crossover frequencies and the offline zero-phase slope.
  3. Split, inspect the waveform and log spectrum, then use gain, solo and mute for monitor decisions.
  4. Compare Original and Unity Reconstruction before downloading the three float WAV stems or ZIP.

Frequency stems, not source separation

This is intentionally different from an AI Stem Splitter. It does not label vocals, drums, bass or instruments. Instead, it creates deterministic frequency bands for sound design, multiband PA preparation, forensic listening, crossover experiments and analysis.

An Equalizer changes the balance of one output. A Multiband Compressor changes dynamics inside bands and recombines them. Multiband Stem Splitter gives you the individual complementary band files without dynamics processing.

Multiband Stem Splitter: quick answer and technical limits

Quick answer: A frequency-layer export desk that turns one recording into complementary low, mid and high audio stems rather than guessing vocals, drums or instruments.

FAQ

Is this the same as AI stem separation?
No. It separates frequency ranges, not semantic sources. A vocal, drum or guitar can appear in multiple bands whenever its spectrum crosses the chosen frequencies.
Do the three stems reconstruct the source?
Yes at unity settings. High is calculated as the residual after Low and Mid, so Low plus Mid plus High reconstructs each decoded source sample within floating-point precision.
Why use zero-phase crossovers?
Forward and reverse filtering avoids relative crossover phase rotation and makes the residual bands useful for offline sound design and analysis. It is non-causal, so this tool is not intended for live PA processing.
What do the gain, solo and mute controls change?
They change only the monitor mix. Individual WAV and ZIP exports remain unity stems so their sample-wise reconstruction contract is preserved.
Is my audio uploaded?
No. File decoding, crossover filtering, audition, WAV encoding and ZIP assembly run locally in this browser. Browser codec support and available device memory still set practical limits.
