Remove Lead Guitar from a Song using DeMIX Pro

Isolated guitar or creating guitar-less tracks are ideal for learning and practicing the instrument. Removing the lead guitar from a song can also be essential for creating space for new instrumentation, enhancing a remix, or analysing the arrangement of other instruments in a track.

According to AudioXpress, DeMix Pro is the most powerful AI-driven tool available today for high-quality stem separation setting new standards in removing instruments such as vocals, drums, bass, and of course, guitar. In this guide, we will walk you through the easy process of removing the lead guitar using DeMix Pro.

Step 1: Install and Launch DeMix Pro

Begin by downloading and installing DeMix Pro from the AudioSourceRE website. If you are new to DeMix, you can try the software for free with a 7-day trial. After installation, open the program to get started.

Step 2: Import Your Audio File

Open DeMix Pro and either click on File > Import Audio or simply drag and drop your chosen audio file into the workspace. Supported formats include MP3, WAV, AIFF, and FLAC.

Step 3: Prepare for Lead Guitar Separation

Select Track: After importing the audio, click on the track to highlight it.

Choose Local or Cloud Mode: Decide whether to process the file locally on your device or in the cloud by using the cloud and computer buttons at the top of the interface, or by selecting Separation -> Switch to Cloud mode from the top menu.

Choose Separation Option: Click the Separate button and select Guitar. DeMix Pro allows for precision separation, so make sure to select Lead Guitar to specifically isolate the lead guitar from other instruments.

Adjust Settings: In local mode, click the settings button to fine-tune your separation by choosing lead guitar options before processing. For cloud mode, select the appropriate separation type and click start.

Step 4: Process the Audio

Click on Separate to begin the separation process. DeMix Pro uses advanced AI algorithms to isolate the lead guitar track from the rest of the mix. Processing time depends on the size and complexity of the file.

Once separation is complete, multiple tracks will be created based on your settings.

These separated tracks will be automatically downloaded to your device.

Step 5: Review and Refine

Playback the Results: Once the lead guitar is removed, DeMix Pro will display separate tracks for review. Use the playback function to listen to the isolated stems and make any necessary adjustments.

Step 6: Export the Separated Tracks

Export the Files: When you are happy with the separation, go to File > Export and choose the desired format for your tracks (WAV, MP3, etc.). You can export both the lead guitar and the rest of the song or just the isolated elements.

Top Tip for Best Results

Use High-Quality Files: For the best separation results, start with high-quality audio files like WAV or FLAC. Lower-quality formats may result in less precise separations.

Conclusion

DeMix Pro is the go-to AI tool for separating lead guitar from a song with impressive accuracy. Whether you are working on a remix or studying individual guitar parts of a song, following these steps will ensure professional-grade results in no time.
