Quota Stems is a free macOS/Windows stem separator for producers. Drop in files, folders, URLs, or YouTube links/playlists, split vocals, drums, bass, piano, guitar, and other locally, then export WAVs plus ready-to-open Ableton Live 12 sets or Akai Force/MPC XPJ projects with organized tracks, cues, tempo/warp handling, and drum splits.

Hey Product Hunt — I built Quota Stems because every stem splitter I used stopped one step too early. Getting separate WAVs is useful, but the slow part is what comes after: importing, labeling, tempo-mapping, routing, color-coding, and rebuilding a session before you can actually make music. Quota Stems runs locally and turns a file or YouTube link into six stems — vocals, drums, bass, piano, guitar, and other — plus a ready-to-play Ableton Live project. No upload queue, no account, no subscription. The new 1.1 release adds a cleaner workflow, Windows support, and a smoother path from link/file to session. I’d love feedback from producers, remixers, DJs, and anyone who regularly works with stems.

Launch-day update: I fixed the Product Hunt copy so it now matches the actual 1.1 release. Quota Stems is free on macOS/Windows, takes files, folders, URLs, and YouTube links/playlists, and exports WAVs plus ready-to-open Ableton Live 12 sets or Akai Force/MPC XPJ projects. If you produce, remix, DJ, or prep stems for hardware, I’d genuinely like feedback on the handoff after separation — not just raw model quality.
