6 Steps to Remixing a Song

1. Isolate and extract vocals

If you need the vocal from a song, but don't have the multi-track stems or the vocal recording on its own, these free websites use Deezer's AI technology 'Spleeter' to isolate and extract the vocals (and also some instrument parts) from songs

2. Find the key, BPM and chords of the song

Once you have the vocal or other parts, you'll want to know what key and BPM the song is in. You may also want to know what the original chord progression is.
  • Tunebat https://tunebat.com/ is a Key & BPM Database and Music Finder  
  • Chordify https://chordify.net/ uses AI to identify the chords of any music or song and displays them interactively as the song plays

3. Choose the parts of the song you want to use

4. Plan the structure of the Remix

For example:
  • Song structure
    • Intro
    • Verse
    • Chorus
    • Verse
