Fadr

Fadr is an AI stem separation and music production toolkit that splits songs into vocals and instruments, finds MIDI, key and tempo, and helps producers remix. It is known for a generous free plan: basic four-part separation is unlimited, with no monthly minute cap. The paid Plus plan adds finer stems and three DAW plugins, including tools that create instruments and drum kits from text prompts.

What is Fadr used for?

Musicians and DJs use Fadr to pull songs apart, study them and rebuild them.

• Removing vocals to make karaoke or instrumental versions
• Isolating vocals as acapellas for remixes and mashups
• Separating drums into kick, snare and other drums for sampling
• Extracting MIDI from melodies to learn parts or re-voice them in a DAW
• Detecting chord progressions, key and tempo for practice and DJ sets
• Building playable instruments and drum kits from text with the Siren and DrumGPT plugins

Who Fadr is best for

Fadr suits bedroom producers, remixers, DJs, cover musicians and music students who want stems without paying per minute. Producers who work inside a DAW get the most from Plus because of the plugins. Audio post teams that need dialogue and effects separation for film should look at specialist tools.

Fadr pricing

As of October 2026, Fadr Basic is free for life and includes unlimited separation into vocals, melodies, drums and bass, MP3 downloads, MIDI detection and the remix maker. Fadr Plus costs $10 per month or $100 per year. It adds 18 stem types, the highest-quality separation model, one-hour uploads instead of 10 minutes, individual vocal, drum and melody stems, 32-bit WAV downloads, the Stems, Siren and DrumGPT plugins, individual remix tracks, API access, unlimited storage and concurrent processing. Fadr advertises a money-back guarantee on Plus.

Fadr limitations

• Free downloads are MP3 only, which is not ideal for professional mixing
• Songs longer than 10 minutes need Plus
• Separation of dense mixes can leave artifacts, as with any stem splitter
• Stems from commercial songs are fine for practice, but releasing remixes still requires rights from the owners

Fadr vs alternatives

LALAL.AI is a long-standing separation service with strong quality and per-minute packages, which suits occasional users who want top results on a few songs. Moises adds practice tools such as chord charts, pitch and speed changes, and a mobile app that musicians use daily. LANDR covers mastering, distribution and samples rather than separation. Kits AI focuses on AI voice conversion with some stem tools. Fadr wins on value: unlimited free basic stems and a low flat price for detailed stems plus plugins.

Tips for getting started with Fadr

Try a song you know well on the free plan to judge separation quality on your genre. If you need clean drums for sampling, test Plus on one track and compare the kick and snare stems. Producers should install the Stems plugin so separation happens inside the DAW instead of exporting files back and forth.
