Rewire Studio · Separation

Separate. Rework. Send back.

Stem sessions turn a source into focused layers inside Studio. Mute, solo, and level each stem, then pull pieces onto arrangement tracks when the idea lands.

How it works

Using Stems in Studio

A practical loop — not a feature checklist.

  1. 01

    Open a source

    Bring in a mix or recording and start a stem session from Desktop.

  2. 02

    Separate layers

    Studio splits into drums, bass, vocals, and other — each with waveform feedback.

  3. 03

    Rework

    Mute, solo, level, and process layers while you listen for what matters.

  4. 04

    Send to Arrangement

    Pull stems onto tracks and keep producing with clips, MIDI, and devices.

Sessions

Stems aren't a silo

Separation lives beside Arrangement and Session View. Your stems sit next to the same mixer and device chains you already use.

Agent

Ask for the next move

Describe what you want from a stem session — isolate a vocal, rebuild a drum bed — and let the Studio agent help place material you still edit by hand.

Arrangement

From layers to a song

Send stems into Arrangement when structure matters. Keep processing with devices; export when you're done.

Related Studio surfaces

Studio is one product — these views share tracks, mixer, and devices.

  • Timeline

    Arrangement

    Arrangement View is the linear timeline where songs take shape. Place audio and MIDI clips on tracks, set loops and tempo, and keep the mixer beside you while you build structure.

  • Clips & scenes

    Session View

    Session View is a clip grid for sketching and performing. Tracks run as columns, scenes as rows. Fill slots, launch a scene, and keep returns and Main sticky while you explore — without committing every idea to the timeline first.

  • Notes

    MIDI & piano roll

    Open the piano roll on a MIDI clip and reshape notes without leaving Studio. Draw, select, or slice; fold to scale; ride velocity and probability; or let the Studio agent sketch a pass you still own.

  • Levels

    Mixer

    The mixer isn't a place you escape to — it's a rail beside Arrangement and a strip under Session columns. Balance, mute, solo, and send without breaking the idea.

  • Plugins

    Devices & hosting

    Every track has a device chain. Load Rewire devices and scanned VST3s, open editors, audition while the transport runs, and bounce in place when a sound lands.

  • AI assistant

    Studio agent

    The Studio agent works on your live session — not plugin source code. Describe a bassline or clip layout; it places material with session tools. You keep every edit.

FAQ

About Stems

Do stems require a separate app?
No. Stem sessions live inside Rewire Studio alongside Arrangement, Session View, and the mixer.
Can I edit stems after separation?
