About LALAL.AI
What is LALAL.AI (2026 update)
LALAL.AI is an AI-powered audio separation service that splits a single audio or video file into individual stems, such as vocals, instrumentals, drums, bass, piano, guitar, synthesizer, strings, and more. You upload a track, pick which stems you want extracted, and download each isolated layer as a separate file.
What is new in 2026
LALAL.AI’s Perseus model now handles up to 10-stem separation, splitting a track into vocals, lead and backing vocals, drum kit pieces individually, bass, guitar, piano, synth, strings, and FX rather than a single generic instrumental stem. The Lynx neural network was added specifically to the Voice Cleaner tool to improve noise and artifact removal, and on-device local processing was added as a Pro subscription feature so some separation can run without sending audio to the cloud. The desktop app picked up dark and light modes, customizable settings, up to 6 months of processing history, and selectable output formats in a January 2026 update. Two further releases round out the year: a VST plugin that runs stem separation directly inside a digital audio workstation without an internet connection, and the Andromeda expansion, which adds support for more stem types with higher separation quality.

Pricing in 2026
LALAL.AI runs a Fast Queue minute allowance on subscriptions, with an unlimited slower Relaxed Queue included on paid plans, plus one-time top-up packs for extra Fast Queue minutes. Stem separation multiplies minute usage by the number of stem types you select.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Starter (Free) | Free | 10 minutes on the Relaxed Queue, 200MB upload limit per file, no VST or API access |
| Lite | $7.50/month ($90/year) | Unlimited Relaxed Queue, 90 Fast Queue minutes/month, 2GB upload limit, 1 Voice Pack slot, batch processing |
| Pro | $15/month ($180/year) | Unlimited Relaxed Queue, 250 Fast Queue minutes/month, 2GB upload limit, 3 Voice Pack slots, VST plugin, API access |
| Top-up packs | $50 to $300 | 750 to 5,000 extra Fast Queue minutes, one-time purchase |
Who should use it
LALAL.AI fits musicians, remixers, and podcast or video editors who need to isolate a vocal track, pull a clean instrumental for a karaoke version, or clean up noisy audio without owning professional DAW plugins. The Pro plan’s VST and API access also suits producers who want stem separation built into their own DAW workflow or software. It is a weaker fit for casual one-off use beyond the free tier’s 10 minutes, since regular use quickly requires a paid subscription or top-up pack.
Limitations and alternatives
Fast Queue minutes reset every month and unused minutes do not carry over, so heavy users need to plan usage around the monthly reset or buy a top-up pack, which does not expire the same way. Separation quality also varies by stem type and source recording quality, with vocals and drums typically cleaner than more complex layered instrumentals. For alternatives, Spleeter is a free, open-source separation library for developers comfortable running code themselves rather than a hosted web service. iZotope RX offers professional-grade audio repair and separation tools as a one-time software purchase aimed at audio engineers. Moises focuses more on musicians who want stem separation paired with practice tools like tempo and pitch changes for playing along with isolated tracks.
