Zplane Development has introduced a new effect plugin that brings real-time stem separation to almost every DAW. Peel Stems lets you isolate instruments or vocals, and remix, rebalance or remove stems in already mixed audio.

PEEL STEMS is a plugin for real-time stem separation in any VST3-, AU- or AAX-compatible DAW. Simply bring it up as an insert on a track, and get creative with mixed audio as if you had access to its separate tracks.

PEEL STEMS is based on zplane’s new STEMS EFFICIENT technology and highly optimized for real-time low-latency processing. Of course, PEEL STEMS still needs to “read ahead” in order to separate audio inside a mixed track. But in most cases this latency is automatically compensated by the DAW. So now, removing vocals or bass in a loop is as simple as muting that stem while you are playing it back!

  • Real-time audio stem separation.
  • Soundfield Display: Visually identify single stems in a mix.
