Isolate instruments, loop the hard parts, change key and slow any song down — right inside YouTube.
Riffloop is an all-in-one music practice studio — separate any song into stems, remove the vocals, isolate a single instrument, change the key, slow it down without changing pitch, and A-B loop the hard part, right on a YouTube video or your own upload, on your device.
Sixty seconds: open any YouTube video, split it into stems, and remix it directly on YouTube.
The four moves that turn watching a song into playing it — every one of them right under the YouTube player. Nothing to upload, nothing to download.
Solo the guitar to learn the riff, or mute the vocal and sing it yourself. Every stem on its own fader.
Drag a region over the part that trips you up and let it cycle. Snap to the beat, repeat until it sticks.
Shift the whole track up or down into a key that fits your voice or instrument — no chipmunk, no warble.
Pull the tempo back to catch every note, then bring it up to full speed once it is in your hands — pitch stays put.
The stem splitter is the engine behind step one of the loop — it pulls vocals, drums, bass and more out of any track, so you can mute what you already know and solo exactly what you are learning.
Vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and the rest, lifted out of any track.
Transpose to a key that fits your voice or instrument, no chipmunk effect.
Slow the hard run right down, then walk it back up to full tempo.
Drop in a file or load it straight from YouTube. No plugins, no exporting — practice where the music already lives.
Open the Studio and isolate the first part in seconds. The free tier is genuinely free — start playing, not configuring.
A stem splitter hands you files and walks away. A looper forgets the stems. A full app makes you upload the song and open another window. riffloop is the whole practice studio — and it opens right on the video you are already watching.

Riffloop is an all-in-one music practice studio. It separates any song into stems — vocals, drums, bass, guitar and piano — removes vocals, slows songs down without changing their pitch, changes their key, and A-B loops the hard sections, right on a YouTube video or a file you upload, on your device. It's built for practising a song, and it's free to get started.
Riffloop brings every practice tool into one place: an AI stem splitter and a vocal remover (for YouTube videos or your own uploads), per-instrument isolation for bass, drums, guitar and piano, a backing track maker, a song key changer, and a song slow-downer that keeps the pitch correct — plus A-B looping. Isolate a part to learn it, mute it to play along, slow it down, loop it, or change the key, all without leaving the page.
Yes — Riffloop is free to get started, and you can try it without an account. Pro (from $5.95/month, $39/year, or a one-time $99 Founder's Lifetime) unlocks unlimited separations, longer loops, and full-length song separation in the Studio. Practising with separated parts is free.
Both. The Chrome extension works right on the YouTube video you're watching, and the web Studio lets you upload your own audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC and more). Use YouTube for quick practice on anything; upload your own files for the cleanest separation and to export stems on Pro.
A stem splitter uses AI separation to break a finished song into its individual parts — its "stems," like vocals, drums, bass, guitar and piano — so you can solo or mute any one of them. Riffloop is a stem splitter that works right on a YouTube video or a file you upload, on your device.
An AI vocal remover separates the lead vocal from a song, so you're left with the instrumental (a karaoke track) — or just the vocal (an acapella). Riffloop removes vocals from a YouTube video or your own upload, on your device, and lets you loop, slow down and re-key the result to practise.
AI separation analyses the finished mix and estimates each part — vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and the rest — rebuilding them as separate tracks you can solo or mute. Quality is best on clean studio mixes; busy, live or lo-fi recordings are harder. Riffloop runs it on your device, so nothing is uploaded.
Personal practice and study is broadly considered fair use under US copyright law (and equivalents elsewhere) — exactly what riffloop is for: learning a song, transcribing, practicing your instrument. We don't let you download or export the separated audio, and we don't support redistribution. To publish a cover, use the original audio under YouTube's licensing or get a sync license.
riffloop uses the same isolation tech the pro tools use under the hood. On well-mixed studio recordings, vocals and drums come out nearly indistinguishable from the original, and bass and piano are very good. Synths and strings (the "other" bucket) are the noisiest — true of every tool on the market. Live, lo-fi, or heavily-processed recordings reduce quality; that is physics, not a bug.
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, and any other Chromium-based browser that supports Manifest V3 extensions from the Chrome Web Store. Firefox and Safari are not supported yet — they are on the roadmap.
riffloop only activates on YouTube watch pages — never anywhere else. We don't read your watch history or track which videos you open. The separation runs on your device — your audio is never uploaded to us, and we don't store it. No analytics pixels, no fingerprinting.
Almost certainly. riffloop attaches to the standard HTML5 video element YouTube has used for over a decade — if they change that, every practice tool breaks at once, and we'd ship a fix within days. The extension auto-updates from the Chrome Web Store, so you'd never have to think about it.
YouTube watch pages today; YouTube Music and embedded players are next. SoundCloud is on the roadmap — same architecture, different stream format. Spotify uses DRM that doesn't allow this kind of audio routing, so it's a no on Spotify, regardless of vendor.
Free to start, no signup. Works on YouTube and your own files — open the Studio and isolate the first part in seconds.
