The Stem Player is also capable of more complex functionalities. Want to hear a song without the vocals? Just slide your finger down that stem and you’ll get just the instrumental. With these slides, the listener can manipulate the volume of each stem or completely isolate stems.

There is a common misconception that a stem is just one individual element (track) of a song, but this isn’t true. The drums of a song can be grouped together into one stem, while the bass tones and vocals might form their own respective stems. In music production, a “stem” is essentially a piece of a song.
