What is StemForge?
A desktop companion app and Premiere Pro plugin that separate any track into stems (vocals, drums, bass, and other, or 6 stems including guitar and piano), detect its BPM and musical key, and render a version time-stretched or pitch-shifted to a target BPM or key. All of it happens inside your Premiere Pro timeline.
What platforms does StemForge support?
StemForge currently runs on macOS with Adobe Premiere Pro 2026 (version 26.0 or newer), installed through Creative Cloud.
Does StemForge work with DaVinci Resolve?
Not yet. StemForge today is a Premiere Pro plugin only.
How much does it cost?
StemForge is pay-what-you-want, starting at $35 CAD, as a one-time payment. See Get StemForge for current pricing.
Is it a subscription?
No. Every purchase comes with a Certificate of Lifetime License. One payment, no recurring charges. Full license terms.
Does my audio ever leave my computer?
