How-to guide
Drum separation in Logic Pro vs DrumSplit
Logic Pro 11 includes a Stem Splitter that separates vocals, drums, bass and other. Check Logic's current feature list for the stems it outputs. DrumSplit gives you each kit piece individually, plus a drum bus and the music without drums.
Logic Pro's Stem Splitter is convenient because it is built into the DAW. If you need the kick separate from the snare for sampling, layering, re-drumming or analysis, DrumSplit gives you each kit piece as its own file.
Step-by-step
- Logic Pro's approach. Import audio, right-click, choose Stem Splitter. Check Logic's current feature list for the stems it outputs.
- DrumSplit's approach. Upload the same audio to DrumSplit.io. You get 7 files: kick, snare, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, a drum bus and the music without drums.
- For a single drum track. Logic Pro is convenient if you just want drums separated from the rest of the mix inside your DAW.
- For individual kit pieces. DrumSplit returns kick, snare, hi-hats, toms and cymbals as separate files from one upload.
- Best workflow. Use DrumSplit for the separation, then import the stems into Logic Pro for editing, mixing and processing.
Tips for better results
- You can use Logic's Stem Splitter to get a drum stem, then run that through DrumSplit's Direct mode for even cleaner kit-piece separation.
- DrumSplit also returns the music without drums, so you can rebuild or replace the drums over the rest of the track.
- Credits work across VocalSplit and DrumSplit — one purchase for both vocal and drum separation.
