About stems
Some tracks include stems, which are separated audio files like vocals, drums, or instruments. Stems give you more flexibility when editing or mixing music into your project.
Stems are especially helpful for:
- Film and video production
- Podcasts
- Advertising and branded content
Stems are WAV only, and you download each one individually from the Stems section of the Download Song modal. Stems are included on Pro plans and higher. For the full walkthrough, see How do I find and download stems?
