    I feel like Logic wins the battle here. Most of the others have more leakage and spectral errors. To have it built in without additional cost makes it a slam dunk. Great honest review.
  • @TheCristolShow
    Great comparison, love the time you took for this. Thank you
  • Great job once again! To echo one of the previous comments, I truly appreciate the time and detail you took in making these comparisons. It's really the only way one can get a clear and objective picture of what's out there. Thank you!
  • @shayrocket
    Awesome comparison video! I really appreciate the work you put into making this video šŸ™šŸ¼
  • @PeteMel1875
    Enjoyed the video, first time watching šŸ‘

    Thank you! This video came at the perfect time! I downloaded Moises a couple weeks ago and no joke within a week Logic 11 came out with the Stem Splitter. Iā€™m currently in the process of upgrading to Logic 11 and want to do some comparisons of my own. You earned a subscriber šŸ¤˜

    Good stuff! What were the setting for RX?
  • @producerdata
    MPC stems sound the best for right now out of all of the AI and software i heard so far is my honest opinion
  • Excellent comparison, I was hoping someone would do this. I've always thought Spectralayers did the best job at stems, but I think Stem Splitter is giving it a run for its money (free with Logic vs $300 for Spectralayers Pro!). I was surprised at how well lala did vocals! In general, the mix of the original song input has a huge impact on how well these splitters perform (especially EQ masking, stereo imaging, and reverb); all of the splitters will struggle on some songs. Interestingly, "analog" songs mixed many years ago before all of the recent mixing technology and digital plug-in mishmash can be split with great success. Bravo on this video!!!

    Requires M1 Chip minimum. Try playing both the original stereo track (all parts) and the separated vocal stem with the phase reversed on the stem... use the bass separated stem to feed to a tube amp, re-mic and record the base from the amplifiers speaker back to Logic. Add new ambience to vocal with pre-delay from vocal stem only. possibilities are great.

    I took my boy song from years ago and tried the stem splitter for fun. It was cool but it kinda felt like some artifacts were there. His vocal part had some bleeding in it here and there so the stem splitter caught some of it. This just the beginning of it let's see how it works out with Logic.
  • @Valsi876
    I use DeMix essentials. It would be cool for you to compare it to that one also.
  • @cytone101
    Very good comparison. None of them are perfect but I think Logic is doing a good job overall.
  • @stonedrum
    thanks for the comparison! been using RipX for my drum covers since it came out, i notice that with Logic Stem Splitter drums tend to bleed more into 'other' and 'vocal' tracks but sounds clearer and retains more of the transients, whereas overall tone of RipX sounds muddier and some transients are lost. I think im gonna switch to logic for all my future projects, thanks again!
  • This week I remade a song extracting the original vocals from a cassette I made with my best friend 33 years ago.
  • @HRBJHD
    Basically, it seems like it's just as good, if not better than what you have to pay for online. Plus the other 78gb worth of stuff we got in this update, this makes logic more than the easiest choice for stem splitting.
