Quick reference
The condensed version of everything on this site — for when you just need the answer mid-session.
Moises — the essentials
| Where does generation happen? | Browser or Desktop AI Studio only — never inside your DAW directly |
|---|---|
| Where does separation happen? | In Moises's cloud — via AI Studio, or via the Stems plugin (Pro only), which delivers already-processed stems into your DAW. The plugin doesn't separate locally. |
| Does pitch/speed change apply to exported stems? | No on Separated Tracks — yes on Audio Mix only. See the Export Gotcha page. |
| Does Moises export MIDI? | No — audio only. Use an audio-to-MIDI tool (e.g. Melodyne) to convert if needed. |
| Is there a public API? | Not documented as of this writing — don't build tooling assuming one exists; re-verify with Moises support if this becomes important. |
| Can I get individual drum stems? | Yes — Pro only. Kick, Snare, Toms, Hi-Hat, Cymbals, Other Drums. |
| Does chord guidance apply to drums? | No — chords only guide harmonic instrument generation. |
| Best source file format? | WAV, AIFF, or FLAC. Avoid MP3 sources when possible. |
| Can I combine guitar separation modes? | No — combined / acoustic-electric / lead-rhythm are mutually exclusive per pass. |
| Does separating a SUNO track hide its AI origin? | Don't count on it — processing isn't a reliable way to make AI origin undetectable. Irrelevant for internal work; matters only if you're distributing commercially. |
The chain, in one line
SUNO (invent) → Logic (structural map) → Moises (repair / add / isolate) → Melodyne (optional: audio → MIDI) → Logic (finish).

Export format cheat sheet
| Export type | What's included | Format options |

| Separated Tracks | Individual stems, without playback changes applied | MP3, M4A, WAV* |
| Mastering file (full) | Complete mastered file | Pro plan only — Premium exports the reference track only |
*WAV export requires Premium or Pro; Free tier is MP3/M4A only.
When to reach for Moises vs. stay local
- Stay in your DAW for standard vocals/drums/bass/other separation — it's free, local, and instant.
- Reach for Moises for lead/background vocal splits, individual drum sub-components, guitar subcategories, dialogue/effects separation, or generating a new part that reacts to existing audio.
