This update improves stem separation for vocal, bass, and drums, along with several of new features and improvements.

Improved Stem quality​

With this release, we included our 4-stem model that may produce better results for vocals, drums, and bass than our 6-stem model (Pro). The 4-stem model is automatically selected when Guitar and Piano stems are not checked in the Generate Stems dialog.

To generate using the new 4-stem model, do not select Guitar and Piano. If either Guitar or Piano are selected, then Song Master will use the 6-stem model.

Stem Render Options​

  • Stereo Stems can now be displayed as just a single waveform (instead of two, to save screen space). See Stems menu, "Show Stereo as Mono"
  • Stem tracks can now be displayed with a colored bg. See Stems menu, "Show Color BG"

Copy/Paste Notes to Sections.​

If you right-click over a Section marker or in the Notes track, we've added the following commands to the menu:

  • Copy Notes in Section
  • Paste Notes in Section
  • Copy Notes in Section to All Named Sections

This works similar to the Copy\Paste Chords to Sections commands and are useful to efficiently copy a set of notes from one section to other sections.

New OSC messages (PRO)​

  • /pan - control pan position
  • /songVolume - control song volume
  • /metroVolume - control metronome volume
  • /keybdVolume - control internal keyboard volume

Other Fixes and Improvements​

  • PRO: Fixed an issue when exporting a section of audio where the tail end of audio was getting prematurely - truncated
  • If the audio device set in Settings |Audio is disconnected, it will now properly be re-activated when - it is re-connected.
  • PRO: For external stems, the OSC command /trackName now returns the edited stem track
  • PRO: OSC Command /windowToFront now works better on macos
  • The windowToFront command can now be assigned a midi command to bring the Song Master window to the - top
  • Playlist items now display the song title, album, and artist as entered in the Song Info dialog(previously, it was displaying info obtained from meta data embeded in audio file).
  • Reduced the amount the playlist file browser mouse wheel scrolls
  • On mac, if .song file is associated with Song Master, double-clicking it will now open Song Master with that song loaded (previously, it was loading the last song and not the double-clicked song).
  • macOs: added "⌘-," (cmd-comma) as shortcut for app Settings/Preferences

UNSUPPORTED FEATURE: Use NVidia CUDA to Accelerate Stem Separation​

Users on Windows that have an Nvidia graphics card that supports CUDA can now use it to accelerate stem separation. You can find our detailed guide to installing the necessary NVidia and Microsoft software here
