Can I export stems from Wingman?
Yes. Wingman can separate audio into stems and export them into your DAW. You can use exported stems such as vocals, drums, bass, and instruments for remixing, editing, sampling, arranging, or building a new production around part of an existing track.
Separate the parts, then keep producing
Stem export gives you more control over audio. Instead of working with one full mixed file, you can separate the track into useful parts and bring those stems back into your DAW.
When to export stems from Wingman
Export stems when you want to work with individual parts of a track instead of the full mixed audio. This is especially useful for remixing, sampling, vocal workflows, mashup preparation, and creating new ideas from existing audio.

How to export stems from Wingman
Choose the audio you want to separate
Start with the audio file or track section you want to split into stems. This could be a full song, remix source, sample, loop, or a section of an arrangement.
If you only need a specific part, trim the audio to the section you want before recording it into Wingman.
Record the audio into Wingman
Add Wingman to the track and use Record Audio to capture the audio you want to separate. Wingman uses this recording as the source for stem separation.
Capture the track or section you want to split
Use Wingman’s Record Audio button to capture the audio before separating it into stems.
Separate the audio into stems
Use Wingman’s stem separation workflow to split the audio into individual parts. Depending on the source, you can work with stems such as vocals, drums, bass, and instruments.
After separation, listen to each stem so you understand what parts are useful for your production.
Choose which stems you want to export
Decide which stems you want to bring into your DAW. For a remix, you may only need the vocal stem. For sampling, you may want the instrumental or a specific musical part. For rearranging, you may want several stems.
Export the parts you want to use
Bring the stems into your DAW so you can mute, edit, rearrange, process, or build new music around them.
Export the stems from Wingman
Export the separated stems from Wingman so they can be used in your DAW. Keep the files organized by stem type, such as vocal, drums, bass, and instruments.
This makes it easier to arrange and process the parts after export.
Import the stems into your DAW
Drag the exported stems into your DAW session and place them on separate audio tracks. Line them up at the same start point so they stay in sync with each other.
Once the stems are in your session, you can mute, solo, edit, process, or rearrange them independently.
Use the stems creatively
After importing the stems, decide how they fit into your production. You can build a remix around the vocal, remove the drums, replace the bassline, sample the instrumental, or use one stem as the foundation for a new beat.
Build new parts around the exported stems
Use the exported stems as the starting point for new chords, basslines, MIDI parts, sounds, and effects. For example, you can take a vocal stem and create an entirely new progression underneath it.
This turns stem export into a creative workflow, not just a file preparation step.
Ways to use exported stems
Exported stems give you more control over audio. Here are some useful ways to work with them after export.
Use vocal stems to:
- Create a remix from an acapella
- Build new chords around the vocal
- Write a new bassline underneath
- Change the song’s mood
- Create vocal-focused arrangements
Use drum stems to:
- Analyze the original groove
- Replace or layer drums
- Create breaks and transitions
- Remove drums from a sample
- Build a new beat around the other stems
Use bass stems to:
- Understand the original low-end movement
- Replace the bassline with a new one
- Check how the harmony is grounded
- Create a cleaner remix low end
- Build new chord and bass relationships
Use instrument stems to:
- Sample melodic material
- Create new chord ideas
- Convert parts to MIDI
- Remove vocals or drums from a section
- Build new production layers
Tips for exporting better stems
Use the best source audio you have
Higher-quality source audio usually creates stems that are easier to edit, mix, and use creatively.
Keep stems organized
Name and place each exported stem clearly in your DAW. Separate tracks for vocals, drums, bass, and instruments make the session easier to manage.
Use stems as creative material
Do not stop at separation. Use the stems to build new chords, basslines, MIDI parts, remix sections, or full beat ideas.
