Shawarma

Music with stems you can edit

Most AI music comes as one mixed track. In Shawarma every song is made of layers: drums, bass, chords, melody. Each one has a name.

Ask for a change to one layer, and only that layer changes. Turn layers off, add new ones, and export the versions you need.

Make yoursOpen this song in Shawarma

Then, one layer at a time

  • Drums and bass only

    the same song, two layers

    You asked“only the drums and the bass”

    Make it yours

  • A new bass

    the other layers stay the same

    You asked“make the bass busier, a synth bass”

    Make it yours

Then ask for changes

Once your song plays, type what it needs. It changes while it plays, and you keep only what you like.

  • Youonly the drums and the bass
  • Youmake the bass busier
  • Youadd a layer of strings
  • Youtake the melody out of the first eight bars
  • Youmake the chords play on every beat

Why layers matter

  • Fix one thing

    The bass is too busy? Change the bass. The drums, chords and melody stay as they were.

  • Versions for every use

    Keep a full mix, a version without the melody and one with drums only. Every version is saved.

  • See how it is made

    Each layer is a few lines of code with its own name. Open it, or leave it to the assistant.

Questions

What is a stem?
One layer of a song on its own, like the drums or the bass. Here every song is made of named layers from the start, so nothing has to be split out afterwards.
Can I export the layers on their own?
Yes. Ask for a version with only the layers you want, then export it. Pro exports WAV and MP3.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Ask for changes in plain words. The code is there when you want to look.
