Remove Background Noise from Recordings
Clean up recordings by removing background noise, hum, wind, and environmental sounds.
Separate Individual Instruments
Extract individual instrument tracks from mixed recordings for remixing, studying, or rebalancing.
Quick answer: Use the Audio Isolator tool through ToolRouter to separate individual instruments directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolSource separation technology can isolate individual instruments from a mixed recording -- extracting drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, and vocals into separate tracks. This was impossible without the original multitrack session files until AI made it practical.
The applications span music production, education, and content creation. Producers can remix songs by adjusting individual instrument levels. Music students can isolate a guitar solo to study the technique. Cover bands can remove the vocal to create custom backing tracks. Film editors can rebalance a song's mix to better fit a scene.
While vocal isolation is the most common use case, full stem separation opens up creative possibilities that were previously locked behind studio access. Any recorded audio can be decomposed into its component parts and reassembled in new ways.
How to separate individual instruments with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw
Claude handles instrument separation as a terminal workflow with conversational feedback. Upload the mixed recording, run the separation, and review each isolated stem through discussion. Claude can identify which instruments were detected and help you evaluate the quality of each extracted track.

How to separate individual instruments with Claude
Once connected (see setup above), use the Audio Isolator tool:
- Ask Claude: "Separate the instruments in this track using audio-isolator"
- Claude processes the audio and returns separated stems
- Review each isolated instrument track
- Download the stems for remixing or analysis
Example prompt for Claude
Try this with Claude using the Audio Isolator tool
Separate this song into individual instrument stems -- vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments. I need them for a remix.
Tips for Claude
- Drums and bass typically separate most cleanly; overlapping mid-range instruments are harder
- Ask Claude to identify which instruments were detected in the separation
- Use separated stems to create custom mixes at different instrument balances
ChatGPT adds musical context to stem separation, explaining which instruments were isolated and suggesting how to use the separated tracks. Upload the recording and ChatGPT processes the separation, then offers tips on recombining stems at different levels in your DAW for custom mixes.

How to separate individual instruments with ChatGPT
Once connected (see setup above), use the Audio Isolator tool:
- Ask: "Separate this track into individual instrument stems"
- ChatGPT processes and returns the separated tracks
- Request: "Which instruments were isolated? Rate the separation quality."
- Download each stem individually
Example prompt for ChatGPT
Try this with ChatGPT using the Audio Isolator tool
Extract the drums, bass, vocals, and other instruments from this recording. I want to study each part separately.
Tips for ChatGPT
- ChatGPT can explain which instruments were separated and the quality of each
- Ask for tips on how to use separated stems in your DAW
- Works well for music education -- isolate any part of a song to study it
Copilot runs instrument separation within your IDE, which is valuable for developers building music analysis tools or audio applications that need individual instrument data. Batch-process tracks and use the separated stems as input for your audio processing pipelines.

How to separate individual instruments with Copilot
Once connected (see setup above), use the Audio Isolator tool:
- In Copilot Chat: "Separate the instruments in this audio file"
- Copilot processes and returns the stems
- Ask: "Process additional tracks in this directory"
- Download stems for all processed tracks
Example prompt for Copilot
Try this with Copilot using the Audio Isolator tool
Separate this music file into instrument stems for an audio processing application.
Tips for Copilot
- Useful for developers building music apps that need individual instrument data
- Batch-process tracks for large-scale audio analysis projects
- Combine with visualization tools for instrument-specific audio analysis
OpenClaw batch-processes instrument separation through automated audio pipelines. Feed in an entire album or recording library and produce separated stems for all tracks in one pass. This systematic approach is built for large-scale audio analysis projects that need stem data across many recordings.
