I’m seeking a stem separation software program that can finally meet my needs. I’m assuming the state-of-the-art is there; but I could be wrong and another year or two may be needed for this technology to mature.

My experience with SongMaster Pro (ver 2.1) has so far, been lackluster in this regard. When separating the bass I have found the resulting audio often sounds warbly and squishy and even has regions of no music at all when I know music should be there.

Here are some applications in no particular order that I understand can do at least a limited level of separation.

SongMaster Pro
Voice.ai Stem Splitter
Gaudio Studio
AuDimix
Ultimate Vocal Remover
Splitter AI
LALAL.AI
iZotope RX
RipX Daw
Spectralayers
Melodyne
Acon Digital Remix
Moises
Logic Pro (macOs Only)

Eventually, my final goal here is to produce quality bass tabs of songs I want to learn. Bass separation would be step #1 followed by (a different?) software to produce a tab from the stem. For me, a great solution would be if my DAW (Studio One) had this capability built-in but I'm not holding my breath.

Has anyone found an application that can extract bass stems you are actually happy with across at least 2 or 3 different genres? FWIW, I'd prefer a stand-alone program as opposed to a website for this.

If no, is anyone interested in doing a semi-deep dive on this subject offline?

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
