New · Stems
Mute any part. Play the rest.
Psalms Studio splits a song into its parts — vocals, drums, bass and the rest of the band, or six parts with guitar and piano. Turn each one up, down or off, and play along with what's left.
- Karaoke. Mute the vocals and sing the song yourself.
- Minus one. Mute the guitar, keys or bass and take that part with your instrument.
- Learn by ear. Solo one part to hear exactly what it plays.
- Your key, your speed. The parts follow the key change and slow down without changing pitch.
Unlimited with Pro. It runs on your own computer in Chrome or Edge — your song never leaves your device.

Questions
What is Studio Verified?
Studio Verified means the Psalms Studio team has gone through a song's recording and refined every chord and its timing by hand. Verified songs show a ✓ Studio Verified badge, and anyone who adds the same recording gets those chords automatically, at no cost.
The chords you get automatically are unlimited with Pro. Studio Verified is an extra: Pro includes 3 Studio Verified requests every month (each uses 10 credits), and you can buy more credits if you need them. A request that isn't finished within 7 days expires and its credits are returned.
Which songs work?
Most recorded songs with clear harmony: pop, rock, R&B, ballads, jazz and acoustic. Live recordings with a lot of crowd noise are harder.
How accurate are the chords?
The basic chords are right most of the time; detailed chords like sevenths and slash chords are harder. When a recording is ✓ Studio Verified, you get its verified chords instead.
What is stem separation?
It splits a recording into its parts — vocals, drums, bass and the rest, or six parts with guitar and piano — so you can mute or solo any of them. It's unlimited with Pro and runs in Chrome or Edge on a computer, on your own device, so your song is never uploaded. The first time, the browser downloads the separation model once.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed to try it. Your songs are saved in your browser on this device.
Is there an iPhone app?
Yes, it's coming soon to the App Store.
