AI developments have opened up new possibilities and opportunities in various fields. Music is no different. Where once one had to purchase expensive software to isolate instruments from a song, nowadays, separating tracks from a single music file is possible even from your smartphone, that too for free. Here’s a look at how you can split audio tracks using an app called Music Speed Changer.

What is the Music Speed Changer app we are using for this guide?

The Music Speed Changer app was originally developed, as the name suggests, to change the tempo of a piece of music, loop certain sections, change pitch, etc. Thanks to AI models, it can now split tracks into individual files as well, which is a big upgrade for any budding musician looking for free ways to isolate tracks, learn songs, and remix them. The app is available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
