To get stems for GarageBand, upload a song to Trackpeel and its AI splits it into separate vocal, drum, bass, and instrumental WAV files you download and import into GarageBand on Mac or iPad — for a karaoke track, practice, or a first remix. It runs in your browser — not a GarageBand plugin.

Split any song into vocal, drum, bass, and instrumental WAV files, then import them into GarageBand on your Mac or iPad to make a karaoke track, practice over the band, or start a remix. Trackpeel runs in your browser and exports finished stems you download and import — it isn't a GarageBand plugin. Preview 30 seconds of every stem free with no sign-up, and sign up free to download those previews as 30-second MP3 samples and keep your splits saved in a Library; full-length lossless WAV downloads start at $5 with a Day Pass — no subscription needed.

Workflow

How it works

  1. 01

    Upload your track

    Upload an MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, or video file from your Mac, iPad, or iPhone — the audio is read automatically, with nothing to convert first.

  2. 02

    We split the stems

    A source-separation model splits the song into vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments — simple stems that suit a first karaoke, practice, or remix project.

  3. 03

    Import the WAVs into GarageBand

    On Mac, drag the per-stem WAV files from Finder onto audio tracks. On iPad or iPhone, save them to Files and import them through the GarageBand audio recorder browser.

Output

What you get

You get every stem as its own full-length, lossless WAV — vocals, drums, bass, and the instrumental — with no extra compression. Because they are real files, they import into GarageBand on Mac or iPad like any audio region: mute the vocal for a karaoke track, solo the band to practice, or layer them for a beginner-friendly remix — no plugin needed.

The difference

Free and beginner-friendly

GarageBand ships free on every Mac, iPad, and iPhone, and importing a WAV stem onto a track is one drag — no production experience required.

Instant karaoke track

Import the instrumental stem and leave the vocal out to sing along, or keep the vocal as a guide and lower it while you learn the words.

Practice over the band

Drop in the drum, bass, and instrumental stems and mute your own part to rehearse against a real backing track at the original tempo.

Works on Mac & iPad

Save the WAVs to Files on iPad or iPhone and import them in GarageBand for iOS, or drag them straight from Finder on a Mac — same stems, either device.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I import stems into GarageBand?
Yes. Trackpeel exports each stem as a standard WAV. On a Mac you drag the files onto audio tracks; on iPad or iPhone you save them to Files and import them through the GarageBand audio recorder browser.
How do I get stems into GarageBand on iPad?
Upload your song to Trackpeel, split it into vocals, drums, bass, and instrumental, and download the WAV stems to the Files app. In GarageBand for iOS, open the audio recorder, browse to the files, and add each stem to its own track.
How do I make a karaoke track in GarageBand?
Split the song with Trackpeel, download the instrumental stem, and import that WAV into GarageBand. Leaving out the vocal stem gives you a clean backing track to sing over, or you can keep the vocal low as a guide.
Are the stems lossless WAV, and is it free?
Each stem is a full-length, lossless WAV with no extra compression, so it imports cleanly into GarageBand on Mac or iPad. Previewing is free — 30 seconds of every stem, no sign-up — and a free account adds downloadable 30-second MP3 samples you can drop into GarageBand to try the import before spending anything. Downloading the full-length WAV stems requires a paid plan, starting with a $5 Day Pass (24 hours, up to 25 full downloads).
Is Trackpeel a GarageBand plugin?
No. Trackpeel runs in your browser and exports finished WAV stems that you download and import into GarageBand by hand. There is no plugin or app extension to install, and nothing separating audio in real time during playback.
