Saturalabs / Music & instruments
AI guitar isolator. Find the part in the mix.
Focus on a guitar performance inside a mixed song. Describe its sound, compare the separation, and use the isolated or remaining track for closer listening and practice.

A focused approach
Ask for the guitar you can actually hear
A song may contain an acoustic strum, a distorted rhythm layer, and a lead line at the same time. ‘The guitar’ is a broad request. If one part has a distinct sound, a description such as ‘The acoustic guitar strumming’ or ‘The electric lead guitar’ gives the tool a clearer target to attempt.
Keep Isolated sound to study the requested part. Keep Background audio when you want the rest of the mix with that guitar reduced. Neither output should be assumed to match an original studio stem: double-tracked guitars, shared effects, and similarly sounding instruments can be difficult to separate cleanly.
From mix to source
How to use the guitar isolator
Upload the song or live clip
Saturalabs accepts MP3, WAV, MP4, and MOV up to 50 MiB (52.43 MB). Use a recording where the part you want is audible, and retain the original for comparison.
Name the guitar sound
Describe acoustic or electric guitar, then add a relevant audible role such as strumming or lead. Keep the request focused on one part rather than mixing guitar, vocals, and drums in one prompt.
Audition difficult sections
Check bends, fast runs, and sustained chords in Isolated sound. Compare verse and chorus sections, since layered guitars may enter and change the separation.
Keep the output for your goal
Download the isolated guitar WAV for study, or use Background audio for a guitar-reduced practice track. The results screen shows the account and credit requirements for downloading.
Be specific about the sound
A prompt for the result you want
Describe the source, then choose the output that matches your goal. These are starting points to try with your own recording.
| Your goal | Try this prompt | Keep this track |
|---|---|---|
| Study a soloTry this when the lead has a clearly distinguishable sound in the arrangement. | The electric lead guitar | Isolated sound |
| Hear an acoustic rhythmListen for pick attacks and chord decay rather than only the loudest strums. | The acoustic guitar strumming | Isolated sound |
| Make a rhythm practice backingCheck whether a second rhythm guitar or shared effects remain. | The distorted rhythm guitar | Background audio |
Made for a real next step
Put the separated audio to work
Learn a lead phrase
Listen to timing, bends, and vibrato with fewer competing sounds. Use the original as a reference when a note's attack or pitch is ambiguous.
Study rhythm playing
Try isolating an acoustic strum or electric rhythm part to hear its accents. Distinguish the performance from drum transients that may remain in the output.
Play your own part
Audition the remaining mix as a practice backing. A guitar-reduced track can still contain other guitars and remnants of the requested source.
Listen before you commit
Three checks worth making
Compare a quiet passage and a busy passage with the original, at a similar listening level.
Pick attack
Make sure fast notes and quiet articulations still speak. A smoothed attack can make a passage seem different from the original performance.
Effects and sustain
Delay and reverb can sit across the mix. Listen to the tail of a phrase to see which details follow the isolated guitar.
Multiple guitar layers
Check whether the output contains the desired part, several guitars, or a changing blend as the arrangement gets denser.
Know the limits
Lead and rhythm are not always separate recoverable sources
A descriptive prompt can help identify an audible part, but it cannot guarantee separate lead and rhythm tracks. Similar tones, distortion, unison lines, and doubled parts can blur the distinction. Expect possible bleed and tonal changes, especially in a dense rock mix.
Saturalabs does not generate tablature or identify chords from the extracted audio. Use the output as a listening reference and verify musical details against the original. Reuse in remixes or releases requires the appropriate rights to the source recording.
Can I isolate acoustic guitar from a song?
You can try targeting ‘The acoustic guitar’ or a more specific description such as ‘The acoustic guitar strumming.’ Keep Isolated sound and check for percussion, vocals, or other strings in the result.
Can I separate lead guitar from rhythm guitar?
Sometimes the parts are audibly distinct enough to attempt a narrower prompt. It is not guaranteed, especially when guitars share similar tones or play together. Listen across several sections rather than judging one phrase.
How do I remove guitar for a backing track?
Describe the guitar part you want reduced, then keep Background audio. The remaining track may still contain other guitar layers, effects, or remnants of the target.
Does the guitar isolator create tabs?
No. It separates audio based on your description. It does not produce notation, tablature, chord labels, or a MIDI transcription.
Can I upload a video of a guitar performance?
Yes. MP4 and MOV video are supported alongside MP3 and WAV audio, up to 50 MiB (52.43 MB). The separation produces audio tracks; it does not render an edited video.
