How to isolate the strings from a recording
Strings on a pop record are a single gesture: a pad under the chorus, a line answering the vocal. Producers want them off the record whole, to sample or to study the arrangement, not as four instruments.
- Add your recording: Drop a WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, FLAC or OGG.
- Press Isolate strings: The recording opens in the tool with the strings extractor already chosen. There is nothing to set.
- Download both: The strings alone, and the recording without them. The second is made in your browser, by taking the extraction away from the file you dropped.

Questions about the strings isolator and remover?
We have answers.
How do I isolate the strings from a song?
Drop the recording on this page and press Isolate strings. The strings are extracted by their own model and come back alone, in time with the original.
Can I remove the strings from a song?
Yes. The results include the recording without them: the extraction is taken away from your file, in your browser, so what is left is everything else.
Can I isolate the strings from a pop song?
Yes, when they are real strings. Ask for strings and the section comes back on one track.
Is it free?
Yes, to start. A free account comes with 120 credits a month, with no card needed to start, and extracting up to eight instruments from a recording is 20. Pro has 2,000 a month.
Can I get the strings part as notes?
Yes. The isolated track can be transcribed to MIDI, or engraved as sheet music.

The section, or the instruments in it
Strings exist twice in the bank: as a section, and as violin, viola, cello and double bass. Ask for strings and the section comes back together. Ask for the instruments and each gets its own track.
A synth pad is not a string section
The extractor is trained on bowed instruments. The bank has no extractor for synthesizers or pads, so a keyboard string patch is not what this returns.
From the pad to the parts
The string track can be transcribed as an ensemble, which writes a part per voice: the top line, the inner parts and the bass of the arrangement.
String section isolator, strings remover: one job
