Drum removal is essential for remixing or beat replacement for new loops by DJs, practice by drummers and musicians or tidying or creating cleaner instrumental tracks. AudioXpress calls DeMix Pro the top AI-powered stemming software, driving high-quality separation standards especially when specific stems like vocals, guitar, bass, and drums need to be isolated and extracted from a track.

Let us dive into how you can use this market leading stem separation software to remove drums and percussion from any song.

Step 1: Install and Launch DeMix Pro

First, download and install DeMix Pro from the AudioSourceRE website. Take advantage of the free 7-day trial if you are a new user. After installation, open the program.

Step 2: Import Your Audio File

Open DeMix Pro and import your audio by going to File > Import Audio or by dragging and dropping the audio file into the workspace. Supported file types include MP3, WAV, AIFF, and FLAC.

Step 3: Prepare for Drum Separation

Select Track: Highlight your track by clicking on it after importing.

Choose Local or Cloud Processing: DeMix Pro allows you to process your file either locally or in the cloud. Switch between these modes using the interface buttons or by clicking Separation -> Switch to Cloud mode.

Choose Separation Option: Click Separate, then select Drums to isolate the drum track from the rest of the instruments.

Fine-Tune Settings: Depending on your choice of local or cloud mode, adjust the separation settings to fit your specific needs before clicking start.

Step 4: Process the Audio

Click Separate to start the separation. DeMix Pro's advanced AI will process the track and isolate the drum track. Processing time varies depending on the file's size and complexity.

The separation will result in new tracks that are automatically downloaded once complete.

Step 5: Review and Refine

Listen to the Results: After processing, DeMix Pro will display the separated tracks. Use the playback feature to ensure the drums have been successfully isolated or removed.

Step 6: Export the Separated Tracks

Export: When satisfied, click File > Export and save your separated tracks in the desired format (WAV, MP3, etc.). Export both the isolated drums and the rest of the song or just the isolated parts.

Top Tip for Best Results

High-Quality Audio: Always use high-quality audio files, like WAV or FLAC, for the best drum separation results. Lower-quality files may not separate as cleanly.
