Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Moises AI music platform app
I just stumbled across this, tried it out, and it’s pretty amazing.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/moises-ai-music-platform/id1515796612
It uses AI for high quality track separation of vocals, drums, bass, keys, and other, allowing you to download individual stems as WAV or MP3, and it can generate a downloadable metronome track. It also does chord detection that’s displayed in real-time along with BPM display, lets you pitch-shift into different keys, change tempo to specific BPMs, add a count-in, pan stems, and more. The free version gives you 5 songs per month at 5 minutes each. Unlimited is $3.99/mo or $39.99/year. I’ve only tried the free version and found that quite sufficient for my needs.
I discovered it via this demo video.
Are there similar apps or services that others would recommend?

Queue the subscription bashing...
5 songs a month is probably more than I'll ever need, quite generous. As long as AI apps need to be cloud operated, I can't see a way past the subscription thing for this kind of stuff
EDIT: woah this does way more than just make stems. As a fan of Ableton's Audio to Midi feature for creating backing tracks, this seems like a huge step forward. I could see using this for my own tracks and not just creating stems
I think this one worked well for me for just stem seperation.

Cool! Looks like they added a similar track splitting feature about six months ago. Will give it a closer look.
From what I can tell from the video the quality is very similar. Who knows, could be licensing the same code.
Sure enough! They’re both using Deezer’s open source Spleeter engine.

And, a completely free version is online with support for 20 minutes, 5-stem, 50MB. This is far better than what’s available for free in Moises.

Handy/sweet/thanks!
The first 'track separation app' I had run into on iOS was "let's unmix" (free, with $4.99 IAP).
