How to remove drums from an OGG file
OGG Vorbis and Opus files come from Bandcamp downloads, game audio, Discord recordings and open-source tools. DrumSplit reads both natively and separates the drums just like any other format.
Opus is newer and more efficient than Vorbis, but DrumSplit treats both the same way. Output quality depends on the source bitrate — a 192 kbps OGG produces cleaner results than 96 kbps.
Step-by-step
- Open DrumSplit.io. Any browser, no extensions needed.
- Upload your OGG or Opus file. Files up to 100 MB. A typical 4-minute OGG at 192 kbps is only about 5 MB.
- Pick your mode. Natural, Puncher or Direct depending on the content.
- Wait 2-3 minutes. OGG and Opus decode quickly on the server. Processing time is the same as other formats.
- Download the stems. 6 WAV files: kick, snare, hi-hats, toms, cymbals and drumless music.
Tips for better results
- If your OGG is from Bandcamp, you can also download the same track as FLAC for better source quality.
- Game audio OGG files (from extracted game assets) work fine — useful for remixing game soundtracks.
- For broken or truncated OGG files, re-encode through ffmpeg first to fix the container headers.
