# Guitars Stems

AudioPod separates guitars from any song on every plan (every guitar together on Basic, the rest on Creator and above): upload the track to the Stem Splitter and pick every guitar together, acoustic guitar, electric guitar or lead vs rhythm guitar — AudioStems, AudioPod's stem-separation engine, returns each as its own file, at 1,320 credits per minute for the Creator+ isolators.

## How to do it

1. Open the Stem Splitter and upload a song or paste a link.
2. Switch to Isolate (or Remove) and pick the guitars rows you need.
3. Check the credit quote — it is shown before anything runs.
4. Download each part. Download as MP3, WAV or FLAC, with 16- or 24-bit for WAV and FLAC, on every plan — the format changes the files, not the price.

## Choosing between guitars options

- Start with the standard Guitar stem: it is on every plan, including Basic, and is enough when one kind of guitar plays.
- Use Acoustic or Electric when both kinds share a song and you want only one. Acoustic and electric guitars strumming the same chords in the same register are the hardest case.
- Use Lead and Rhythm when two guitars play different roles. Lead and rhythm are one price for one or both; two guitars playing the same riff in unison have no lead-versus-rhythm difference to split.
- Heavily distorted guitars share frequencies with bass and keys, so a little bleed from them is possible.

## Good uses

- A guitarless backing track for jamming or a cover video.
- Transcribing a solo without the chords masking it.
- Rebalancing a two-guitar band mix in a remix.

## FAQ

**Can I separate the lead guitar from the rhythm guitar?**
Yes, on Creator and above. Pick Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar or both — one price either way. It splits by role, so guitars doubling the same riff stay together.

**Can I turn a guitar stem into MIDI?**
The standard Guitar stem can go to MIDI as an experimental option in Audio to MIDI; the acoustic, electric, lead and rhythm isolators return audio only. See /audio-to-midi/guitar.

**How much does it cost to isolate guitars?**
Each row in the table is one price group, charged per minute of source audio: Guitar 660, Acoustic guitar 1,320, Electric guitar 1,320, Lead guitar / Rhythm guitar 1,320 credits per minute. Picking several groups in one job adds their prices. A 4-minute song through one 1,320-credit isolator is 5,280 credits — about $0.70 pay-as-you-go — and Creator's monthly credits cover about 37 songs that long.

**Which guitars are on the free plan?**
Guitar, as part of the standard split (vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other) that Basic runs from its monthly credits. Acoustic guitar, Electric guitar and Lead guitar / Rhythm guitar belong to the 45-instrument menu that Creator and above unlock. See /pricing for plan prices.

**Can I remove one of these and keep the rest of the song?**
Yes for Guitar, Acoustic guitar, Electric guitar and Lead guitar / Rhythm guitar: switch the Stem Splitter to Remove mode and pick it. Removing costs the same and needs the same plan as isolating.
