Stem Splitter on iOS and Android
Two apps carry the Studio: the main SoundBoost app and the standalone Vocal Remover - Stem Splitter app. What is the same, what differs, which one to install.
#Two apps, one Studio
The SoundBoost app (iOS, Android) bundles mastering and the Studio in one place and shares your projects and membership with the web. Vocal Remover - Stem Splitter (iOS, Android) is the stem-only app: same separation, same Studio, a leaner interface and its own loop editor built for phones.
The dedicated Stem Splitter app is available on both the App Store and Google Play. Standard splitting and instrument practice are always completely free, with no trial expiry or daily or monthly upload quota. Solo, mute, loops, tempo, pitch, chords, lyrics and the metronome remain available even when a download requires membership. Downloads and premium separation options have separate membership rules. What is free.

#Which one to install
- You master tracks too: the SoundBoost app. One login, one membership, projects in one list.
- You only want stems, on the go: Vocal Remover - Stem Splitter. It is the same engine with fewer screens, and a loop editor that is nicer with thumbs.
- You want the free download window: the web Studio, which is also where imports, Voice Clean and mastering hand-off live.
