It was good to read such a candid review of their application by the product developers. Unquestionably, there are many challenges presented, and it's always beneficial to learn what goes on 'under the hood'. It gives us a better understanding of why some results are the way they are.

For those that may not have noticed, Dan is quite plugged-in and willing to share what he learns, thanks Dan. Two things jump out to me:

Stem separation is still very much in the early stages of technology development and will continue to get better over time. This is absolutely true.
Kudos to Mr. Schnurrenberger for being open, I certainly wish him and his team the best with their product. Dan, if you think it helpful, feel free to share my SoundCloud bass stem separated with Studio One with him.

I’m glad you picked up on that, since he is saying there is a difference in the results based on the quality of the audio source as I had suspected. Perhaps the next step as I mentioned is to have options to configure these programs for audiophile input versus commercially squashed input. And such an option would cater to two very different uses of this software.

Hmmm, I see different modes of thinking/needs on this (which is why forums can be effective) and 3 possibilities: 1. A prompt for the user to specify whether the audio file is of high or low quality 2. Two entirely separate programs, one for low quality files and another for high 3. No prompts needed because the AI can handle any quality input (I've been foccused on this one)
Options 1 and 2 would require the training of two distinct AI models, but all 3 would have pros and cons.

I just did a fast test of a song I’m working with, comparing stem separation in Studio One Pro (7) and Song Master Pro.
The bass sounds much better - fuller - in Studio One. In Song Master Pro it is more like a ghost of a track.
I have not yet found the way in Studio One to capture this bass track as MIDI, which I can do in Song Master Pro. If it exists, I haven’t found it in the Help.
Matt one way you can do this is select the bass track and choose edit with Melodyne. From melodyne file menu select save as midi file. Then just load the midi file into a track. I have not upgraded to Version 7 yet so I have not had a play around with it yet

Thanks Brian. Yes, that would work. I was hoping Studio One Pro 7 might have the ability to export MIDI from stems built-in, as Song Master Pro does.
If you have Toontrack's EZBass, click on the Audio Tracker tab and drop the monophonic bass stem into the box on that screen, and EZBass will create a MIDI file for the audio stem.

Another way to do this is to edit the audio track with Melodyne (Ctl-M) and then drag and drop the audio track onto an instrument (ie, MIDI) track. It's pretty slick...

I wouldn't base the quality of a stem separator based on the quality of just one instrument on one track.
Wise words...
I now have a 2nd datapoint. I extracted my own bass line from my most recent composition Down Periscope
Several months ago, I originally recorded this bass in Studio One in ver 6.something, and I used a version of my mix that contained no compression. I consider this another tuba test because it contains low frequency submarine rumblings. It did incorrectly extract those rumbles but it also extracted my bass clearly enough to easily percieve the melody, tone and rhythm of my playing; including some timing flubs on my part
Of course anything is possible with AI models including hallucinations. But AI researchers are making big strides in solving the hallucination problem. The proof is always in the pudding and the pudding is saying PreSonus and their partners hit a home run and I'm expecting further improvements yet before ver 8 arrives.
If anyone is able to cause this stem separator to clearly fail, do share your results.
On a separate note, I was quite proud of myself in being able to capture in a 2 page, 16 step process how to create tempo maps in S1 based on a Gregor YouTube . . . another solid piece of PreSonus software engineering in its own right. From what I can glean so far, this lengthy process has been reduced to a few mouse clicks in ver 7.

Wise words...

Just to clarify, I'm not saying you're wrong, maybe you're right (and Presonus algorithm is the best one currently availiable for bass), maybe not, I really have no idea. What I want to point out is that drawing such a general conclusion from such a particular case makes little or no sense to me. If someone really wants to compare the different algorithms available on the market to figure out which oneis ‘the best’ for bass, then it would be necessary to compare not one or two examples, but a large number of them, with different audio qualities, different mix qualities, from different eras, different compression ratios, different styles of playing, different bass sounds and techniques, different panning, etc. And of course, if this job is going to be made by different people, the test files must be identical for all of them; posting a youtube link and expecting that everybody else will download the same mp3 with the same quality from that link is probably not a realistic idea.
Bearing in mind that (as far as I know) the vast majority of available algorithms actually use the same common code (derived from the Open Source Spleeter -or, in some cases Demucs-) and differ from each other basically in terms of the amount and quality of material they have been trained with, the result of such an experiment would probably be that there is no ‘best’ algorithm in a broad sense. Some of them would simply work better in some cases than others, and viceversa.
It seems common sense to me that an AI trained mainly with classic jazz material will do a better job separating Paul Chambers' double bass line ion "So What" than another AI trained mainly with 70s funk. I think that the next generation of stem separation programs will allow the user to choose between different trained models, depending on the starting material.

Studio One 7 has a brand new tempo map detection that is so much easier than before. You are sure to like it.

Cerio, I have no time or desire to do the exhaustive investigation work that you propose. The two conclusions that I am drawing are as follows:
1. Studio One Pro ver 7 has produced a state-of-the-art stem separation capability for bass that is second to none. I now have a wonderful new tool in my toolbox that meets my needs in this regard.
2. No one on this forum has demonstrated a program that has a bass stem separation capability superior to that of Studio One Pro ver 7.
Because of these conclusions I'm moving on to other things.
However, I encourage you to personally perform the very comparison work that you propose. I’ve given you a head start on this with a list of programs at the top of this thread. I’ve even given you a good “tuba test case” that you can use for part of your comparison work. I also encourage you to share your results and conclusions here on the forum. And if at the end of your study you find that your conclusions differ from mine, great. Learning something new is good.
My instincts rarely fail me and they are telling me that you will decline to do this work. My hope is that you can prove my instincts wrong.
PS> A spreadsheet may be a good way to organize your results.

Yes you're right, I won't do that job, mainly because I don't really have time / need to, but also because my instincts (which rarely fail me either) are telling me the result of such an experiment wouldn't be too far from what I've just described above, for the reasons given above.
Having said that, I've also made some tests in the past comparing these kind of tools, here's just an example:
IMO, you can hear some differences between those three programs in that particular case, but as I said before, a test based in a single use case, while interesting and useful, is simply not enough to draw any serious conclusion about the quality in general of these tools.
It’s way too early in this game to draw conclusions. Let’s revisit this after a few months of working with these programs.
I disagree.
Think of conclusions like weather forecasts. Just as meteorologists make predictions based on current data, our conclusions are based on the information available at the time. However, as new data comes in, the forecast can change. Similarly, as we gather more information about software tools or as circumstances evolve, our conclusions may need to be updated; and often are.
At one point in my musical journey I concluded that Audacity would be my final DAW; then I concluded Reaper would be, then a friend introduced me to Studio One and my conclusion changed once again. It's a process of learning and growth.
This also appears in the animal kingdom. Ever watch a lioness or cheetah stalk a gazelle? She's updating her conclusions continually as she processes her inputs. The process is fascinating to watch
It's never to early to draw conclusions, and often never too late to change them.

So if a conclusion was reached now, what would it be?
(This is not in any way meant to be challenging, I really don't know, as I have not used any of the programs, but if a conclusion needed to be reached now, I would be keen to know what it would be. This thread has enjoyed significant input and much interest.)

Ok, using that line of thinking, I have made a preliminary conclusion that I cannot yet conclude one program is better than the other when comparing stem separation of Studio One Pro (7) and Song Master Pro. Was that helpful?

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
