Remove the guitar
The song arrives in five stems; mute the guitar and the rest of the band plays on.
Remove the guitar from a song
Removing the guitar from a recording used to mean hunting for a version that never had one. Jambox has the guitar as its own stem: take it out, play the part yourself, and leave with a new mix that has you in it.
Download freeHow it works
Record onto the empty lane
Arm a track, press record, and your take lands as a capsule on its own lane, in time with the song — the guitar part replaced by yours, the rest of the band untouched.
Export the new mix
The mixdown writes every stem and your take into one WAV, at the levels and mutes you were monitoring.
What you get
- The original band without its guitar
- Your take on its own lane, ready to overdub
- One WAV of the whole mix, your playing included
Where it stops
What comes out is a mix, not a studio session: the recording is your interface into the app, with no amp or cabinet modelling, and the export is one stereo WAV rather than separate tracks. You can only record over the song at the speed and key you are monitoring it in.
Questions
Can I keep the original guitar as well?
Yes — it is still a stem. The mix exports what you left unmuted, so nothing is destroyed.
Is the export one file or a folder?
This one is one WAV: the whole mix, your take included. The per-track ZIP is a different export, on the same menu.
Does it work on a song I have not separated?
No — the guitar has to be its own stem before it can be muted. Importing a song separates it first.

Karaoke, with your own voice
Mute the vocal and follow the words as they light up, record your own lead over the band, then pan it left or right to leave room for a backing part.
Record your own part
Arm a track and press ●: the take records onto its own lane as a red capsule. The waveform grows with the playhead, and the take is ready to overdub the moment you stop.
360° position and reverb
Drag a take’s dot around the 360° pad to place it anywhere in the room, then open reverb to give it a space. The dry signal is never touched.
