Musicians spend hours trying to turn rough ideas into polished tracks.
You record a guitar riff or piano melody, but lack the skills or tools to add drums, bass, or other instruments that match your style.
Traditional music production software requires steep learning curves and costly equipment.
Moises AI Studio changes this completely.
This browser-based platform acts like a responsive bandmate that listens to your music and generates matching instrument parts.
Upload a simple chord progression, and AI Studio creates basslines, drum tracks, or guitar parts that blend naturally with your recording’s sound, timing, and harmony.
This guide shows you how to sign up for Moises AI Studio and use its browser-based tools to generate, separate, and mix instrument stems that adapt to your own music, enabling you to quickly create professional-quality tracks without complex software.

Before you start checklist:
Why Moises AI studio is worth your time:
Moises AI Studio uses context-aware generation trained on individual instrument recordings rather than complete songs. This approach gives you precise control over each part, letting you generate, edit, and layer instruments with the same flexibility as working with live studio musicians. Unlike platforms that create unchangeable complete tracks, AI Studio produces separate stems you can modify.
The best AI stem separation tools typically focus on isolation only. AI Studio combines separation with generation, mixing, and mastering in one browser interface. Choose this method when you want to quickly experiment with arrangements or need professional results without learning complex DAW software.
Moises processes over 2.5 million minutes of audio daily and serves 65 million users worldwide, proving the platform’s reliability for professional workflows.
Step-by-step instructions to use Moises AI studio
1. Create your Moises account and access AI Studio
Set up your workspace and understand the pricing tiers.
Account setup steps:
- Navigate to studio.moises.ai in your browser
- Click “Sign up for free” (right hand corner) and enter your email address
- Verify your email and complete profile setup
- Choose between Free (5 separations monthly), Premium (€6.29/month), or Pro (€31.49/month)
Watch for these pitfalls:
- Free accounts limit files to 5 minutes and 60 generative credits monthly
- Premium accounts get 100 credits, Pro accounts get 600 credits plus commercial use rights
Pro tip: Start with the free tier to test the workflow, then upgrade based on your monthly usage patterns.
Success check: You should see the AI Studio dashboard with upload area and feature sidebar.
2. Upload and analyze your source track
Load your audio file and let AI Studio detect key musical elements.
File upload process:
- Click the upload area or drag your audio file into the browser
- Wait for automatic analysis to complete (30-60 seconds)
- Review detected BPM, key signature, and song sections
- Confirm the waveform displays correctly
Example: Upload a simple piano chord progression in C major. AI Studio should detect the key as C major and identify the tempo automatically.
Quick rule: Use 44.1 kHz files for best compatibility – AI Studio accepts most formats but processes faster with standard sample rates.
Success check: You should see your track loaded with BPM and key information displayed above the waveform.
3. Separate existing stems for analysis
Break down your original track into individual instrument parts before generating new ones.
Stem separation workflow:
- Click “Stem Separation” in the right sidebar
- Select separation type (Vocals, Drums, Bass, Guitar, or Custom)
- Click “Process” and wait 1-3 minutes for analysis
- Preview each separated stem using the play buttons
- Download stems you want to keep or modify
Watch for these pitfalls:
- Complex mixes may not separate perfectly – focus on the cleanest isolated parts
- Separation quality depends on the original recording’s mix balance
Pro tip: Separate your demo first, then use AI Stem Generation only for the weakest parts to preserve human feel while fixing gaps.
Success check: You should see individual stem tracks with separate volume controls and play buttons.
4. Generate new instrument parts with AI
Create matching basslines, drums, or other instruments that adapt to your existing music.
AI generation settings:
- Click “Stem Generation” in the sidebar
- Choose instrument type (Drums, Bass, Guitar, Piano, Strings)
- Then choose different presets per instrument type
- For Drums (Funk, Bossa Nova, Trap for Drums e.g.)
- For Bass (Punk, Trap, Hip-Hop, Metal, e.g.)
- For Guitar (Funk, Rock Overdrive, Punk, even a Guitar Solo e.g.)
- Others (Violin, Strings, LoFi Keys, Electric Piano e.g.)
- Or simply use “AI match to generate a track based on the context audio
- Set generation length to match your track duration
Want to use a reference track and write a prompt? No problem:
Click on “Custom” to upload reference audio if available for better matching. You can also enter a prompt.
Example: For a folk guitar recording, select “Bass” generation with prompt “acoustic upright bass, folk style” to create a matching bassline.
Watch for these pitfalls:
- Vague prompts produce generic results – be specific about genre and instrument characteristics
- Generation uses credits from your monthly allowance
Pro tip: Combine short text prompts with 4-bar reference loops for higher coherence than text-only generation.
Success check: You should see a new stem track generated that plays in sync with your original recording.
5. Mix and balance your stems with AI controls
Blend all tracks into a cohesive mix using AI-powered processing.
AI mixing configuration:
- Click “AI Mixing” with at least 2 tracks loaded
- Wait for automatic track analysis and configuration
- Review per-track controls for Presence, Pan, and Reverb
- Adjust musical style from dropdown (Pop, Rock, Jazz, Electronic)
- Set individual track levels using the mixing interface
Per-track mixing guidelines:
- Keep bass centered with no reverb for clarity
- Pan guitars 30 degrees left or right to create space
- Set vocals to “Lead” presence with low reverb
- Use “Normal” presence for rhythm instruments
Quick rule: Bass stays mono and centered, vocals lead from center, guitars spread left and right for width.
Success check: You should see balanced levels across all tracks with clear separation between instruments.
6. Export your final mix with optimal settings
Render your completed track in the right format for your intended use.
Export configuration steps:
- Choose sample rate based on destination (44.1 kHz for streaming, 48 kHz for video)
- Select format (WAV for quality, MP3 for sharing)
- Pick export type (Mix for single file, Mix & Stems for individual tracks)
- Click “Export” and wait for processing
- Download files to your device
Export settings by use case:
- Streaming platforms: 44.1 kHz WAV, Mix only
- Live performance: 48 kHz WAV, Mix & Stems
- Further production: 96 kHz WAV, Mix & Stems
Pro tip: Always download stems even if not needed immediately – future remix opportunities offset minimal storage costs.
Success check: You should receive download links for your exported files within 2-5 minutes.
Troubleshooting guide
Common issues and quick fixes:
- Upload fails: Check file size limits (5 min free, 20 min Pro) and supported formats
- Generation produces poor results: Add more specific text prompts or upload reference audio
- Mixing sounds muddy: Reduce reverb on bass and drums, increase presence on lead vocals
- Export takes too long: Choose lower sample rates (44.1 kHz) for faster processing
What to do when progress blocks at a step:
- Clear browser cache and reload the page
- Check your remaining generative credits in account settings
- Try shorter audio files if processing stalls
- Contact support through the help center for persistent technical issues
