Split a track into mid, side, left, and right
Every stereo file hides four useful mono signals: the center (mid), the width (side), and the raw left and right. Audition each one, download any of them as WAV, or take all four as a ZIP.
Nothing is uploaded — your audio never leaves your device.
M/S shows you where things sit. Stems hand them to you.
The side channel is a classic sample-digging trick — but it's geometry, not separation. SongStrip's AI actually isolates the vocal and the instrumental, cleanly. Sign up and run a song: 3 full packs free.
Frequently asked questions
What are mid and side channels?
Mid is the sum of left and right — everything mixed to the center, like lead vocals, kick, and bass. Side is the difference — everything that makes the mix wide, like reverbs, doubles, and stereo synths. Together they rebuild the original exactly.
What can I do with the side channel?
Producers dig through side channels for ghostly pads, reverb tails, and wide textures that sample beautifully. It's also how you check what a stereo widener actually did to your mix.
Are the downloads mono or stereo?
Each extracted channel downloads as a mono WAV — that's what mid, side, left, and right actually are. The ZIP contains all four.
Does this remove vocals?
The side channel naturally lacks anything center-mixed, so it often sounds like a thin instrumental — the same physics as our vocal-remover tool. For a clean instrumental you want real separation in the studio.
