LALAL.AI launches its first stem-splitting VST plugin

LALAL.AI has launched its first VST plugin, bringing its industry-leading stem-splitting technology to your DAW for the first time, “significantly reducing the time spent switching between workflows”.

The plugin uses its Lyra model, and is designed to run locally on nearly any hardware. According to LALAL.AI, Lyra delivers “fast and effective” stem separation for “unlimited experimentation” right inside the DAW.

With the new plugin, artists and producers can split any vocal track into a vocal stem and instrumental bed, with multi-stem splitting for six separate instruments currently in the works. Additionally, it also works in any DAW compatible with VST3 technology, including Ableton, FL Studio, Audacity, and others.

LALAL.AI says this latest release marks the next step in the “quieter side of the AI transformation of music” that eliminates tedium and increases fun. Nik Pogorsky, product owner and co-founder, says: “LALAL.AI’s VST is not only the best in terms of quality, but it is the only AI-powered VST that truly functions as a VST within a DAW. Isolating vocals or making a purely instrumental track can happen as fluidly as a producer or artist does any other task inside their preferred software.”

Pogorsky adds, “Professionals are already adopting tools like LALAL.AI because they solve key problems for them. We’ve simply put that tool right where they need it, in their workstation, so that they can get more creative without getting dragged out of their flow.”

As for other AI-powered launches, following LANDR’s recent acquisition of Reason Studios, the company has launched two new tools to help inspire artists: LANDR Blueprints, which offers songwriting support, and LANDR Layers, assisting with the final mix. This dual release promises to “streamline your production process”.

The new plugin with its Lyra model is available now to LALAL.AI’s premium subscribers. Find out more via the LALAL.AI website.
