How MBM Integrates Into Your Personal Studio
Creativity in Your Own Space
MakeBestMusic is designed for you to be able to plug and play—it requires zero setup or special audio skills, just a few easy steps to enter your workflow. Available on the web and mobile: open the website in your browser or download the mobile app to access track separation and music mastering features instantly. The MBM interface is designed around an easy drag-and-drop experience. Simply drop your audio file into the app, select Split Music to separate the individual tracks or choose Music Mastering to apply professional-level sound improvement to your work. Tasks that once required days of work by a trained audio engineer and tens of thousands of dollars in equipment can now be done with a single click.
A great feature of MBM is its versatility. You don’t need a massive, high-end audio interface to handle the process—you can use any standard laptop, computer or mobile device to run track separation and mastering tasks. Throw in a good pair of headphones or monitors, plus your own creativity, and you have an audio processing power that can rival even a professional recording studio.
Professional‑Grade Power for the Artist
The music creation features in MBM allow anyone to turn the music in their head into a reality. The music creation process could not be more straightforward:
Head over to the Create Music page and select Simple Mode to create music from keywords or choose Custom Mode to input full lyrics or use the AI-generated lyrics, as well as style prompts (summer pop,” “epic cinematic score,” “lo-fi hip hop”). Tweak the gender for vocals and the advanced options to refine the output. The AI then generates an entire musical piece, including a melody, harmony, arrangement, and vocals in minutes.
After you complete your single, you can then use Split Music and Mastering Music to help take your own original spin, make your personal studio sound more professional, and create variations, covers, or backing tracks. This will help with precise stem extraction and add professional mastering to create polished, release-ready tracks. A suggested workflow is as follows:
First, use Split Music to pull out drums and chords as a starting point for creation, then return to Create Music and enter new lyrics and style descriptions. The AI will then compose a completely new piece on top of this—ideal for creating cover versions, backing tracks for teaching and analysis, or live performance accompaniment. Once your creation is finished, you can head directly to the Music Mastering feature for a professional touch: AI will automatically enhance loudness and clarity, fix phase issues and frequency masking, bringing your track up to broadcast standards.
Split Music: Unlock Infinite Possibilities Through Precision Separation
Split Music is more than just a feature, it’s a trusted companion for your musical journey. Curious how a drum pattern is constructed? Split Music breaks it down completely, letting you hear every individual track with absolute clarity. Fascinated with a singer’s vocal techniques? Isolate the pure vocal track and listen to every breath and inflection up close. With the ability to truly master this tool, you’ll gain a much deeper understanding of music, and with that knowledge, the confidence to create your own.
How It Works: AI-Powered Track Separation
The power of MBM’s track separation is driven by a deep neural network that has been trained on tens of thousands of songs. Each audio track in the library contains not only a full mix but also an isolated track for each instrument in the original recording. The AI learns to recognize the unique sound each instrument makes in the frequency spectrum—transforming the raw audio into a spectrogram and creating “masks” that isolate where each instrument sits in the overall mix. Traditional audio filters might simply “cut” frequencies from the audio signal, but MBM’s AI is trained to understand context: it recognizes when vocals and guitar are overlapping in the same frequency range and can still separate them due to the harmonic structure and rhythmic patterns they each exhibit. This “source separation” technology is similar to how your brain can focus on one voice in a crowded room.
To get the best separation results, it is best to use a high-quality audio file with good sampling and bit rates that will give the AI more spectral information and dynamic range data to work with. With the help of AI-powered Audio Source Separation technology, it then splits the original audio into multiple independent stems, including vocals, accompaniment, drums, bass, and all the other instruments in the mix. Advanced separation can even distinguish between lead vocals and background harmonies or extract single instrument tracks like guitar, piano, or strings—all to deliver a highly precise multi-track extraction customized to your needs.
Use Cases in Creative Workflows
In your creative studio, MBM serves as a multi-purpose tool that can address any number of production challenges:
- Producers & beatmakers: extract drum grooves from classic records, isolate basslines for sampling, or create unique remixes by swapping stems from different songs.
- Singers & vocalists: Quickly turn any song into a karaoke track, practice harmonies with isolated vocals, or prepare vocal-free backing tracks for cover performances.
- Music learners: study arrangement techniques by breaking songs into instrument stems, transcribe basslines or guitar melodies from isolated tracks, or analyze production techniques track by track.
- Podcasters & content creators: remove background music from interview recordings, extract clear dialogue from noisy audio, or polish live recordings to broadcast-ready quality.
Quick Tips
- Normal Mode uses 5 credits to generate up to 5 instrument and vocal stems.
- Advanced Mode uses 10 credits to generate up to 12 stems including instrumentals, vocals, and MIDI tracks.
Music Mastering: The Producer’s “Final Touch”
Now that you have learned arrangement techniques with Split Music and brought your musical ideas to life with AI creation, the next step is to get your track truly “leaving the studio”. Whether you are planning on releasing your original music on music streaming platforms like Spotify, producing background music for YouTube videos and podcasts, or licensing your music for commercials, films, or other commercial uses, professional mastering is the essential last step. And with the Music Mastering feature in MBM, this previously expensive and expertise-heavy stage is now accessible to you, helping you close the full creative loop—from creation, to distribution, from passion to monetization.
How Mastering Makes Listeners Fall in Love With Your Track at First Listen
Mastering is like dressing your music in its final, polished attire—it doesn’t change the inner composition of the song but rather gives it a professional refinement and balance, maximizing clarity, power and emotional impact to deliver the best listening experience.
Technical optimization is the focus of this final stage: giving the low-end more punch without muddiness, making vocals crisp without harshness, and bringing overall loudness up to industry standards while maintaining dynamic expression. A track that has not been mastered, no matter how well arranged or melodically appealing it is, may sound dull in headphones or get lost in the background noise of car speakers because of unbalanced frequencies. Mastering ensures that your music performs its best on any playback device—it’s the difference between a draft and a published book. The content may be the same, but the professionalism shines through.
Core Capabilities of Music Mastering
Traditionally, mastering engineers will use specialized tools to adjust overall tonal balance (EQ), control the dynamics (compression and limiting), enhance stereo width, and bring a track to the appropriate loudness without distortion—a process that takes years of trained listening and hardware investments worth thousands of dollars.
Simply upload your audio file and MBM’s AI instantly analyzes its spectrum, dynamic range and harmonic content before automatically applying intelligent processing to achieve broadcast-ready quality. The system automatically corrects muddy low frequencies, brings out hidden details, smooths out harsh highs, and ensures a consistent playback across different sound systems.
If you are interested in giving mastering a go, you can use MBM’s streamlined process:
- Upload audio: supports common audio formats, such as WAV and MP3.
- Preview & compare: listen in real-time with A/B comparison for confidence in the result.
- Output format: one click to export for easy sharing or saving.
Quick Tips
- Drag and drop directly for upload, no copyright will be detected.
- The system provides output for both Target and Mastered tracks. You can select according to your needs.
