Choose by handoff, not by hype
A professional workflow ends in a DAW or a distributor, so the export is what matters: MIDI if you will re-voice parts, stems if you will remix, WAV if you will master, and clear commercial terms if you will release. Mureka Premier and Suno Premier go deepest into DAW work (MIDI, studio timelines); ElevenLabs Music adds licensed-data clearance and an API; AIVA suits composers who work in MIDI; Melody Genie fits the songwriter-producer who writes the lyric, sings it in their own voice or over their own beat, then exports stems and WAV.
Generated stems vs separated stems
Most AI song generators create a single stereo mix and then separate it into stems with a source-separation model, so stems are an estimate of each instrument. Soundraw builds tracks from its own in-house parts, and AIVA works in MIDI, which is why their exports behave differently. If you plan to remix in a DAW, separated vocals and drums are usually the cleanest; dense mid-range instruments bleed the most.

Frequently asked questions
Which AI music generator gives the most stems?
As of October 3, 2026, Mureka Premier advertises splitting any song into up to 12 stems. ElevenLabs Pro lists up to 6, Suno Premier lists three separation types including Advanced split, and Soundraw exports drums, bass, melody, vocals and FX.
Can I get stems on a free plan?
Not on any tool in this comparison. Suno's free plan says "No stem separation", ElevenLabs lists no stems on Free, Soundraw has no free downloads, and Melody Genie stems start on Starter.
Does Melody Genie export stems?
Yes, on every paid plan, for songs made with its Suno models: a vocal/instrumental split, an advanced split and a full multi-track split, each priced in credits before you run it. Studio WAV masters are included on paid plans.
Are AI-separated stems as clean as real multitracks?
No. They are separated from a finished mix, so expect some bleed between instruments. Tools that generate in tracks (such as Soundraw's in-house arrangements) can give cleaner parts. Listen to each stem before mixing.
Which AI music tools export MIDI?
As of October 3, 2026: Suno Premier (Suno Studio with MIDI), Mureka Premier and AIVA on all plans list MIDI export. Melody Genie, ElevenLabs Music and Soundraw export audio and stems, not MIDI.
Can I use my own beat or vocal?
Melody Genie can write and sing vocals over your uploaded beat or build music under your recorded vocal; Suno accepts audio uploads (up to 30 minutes on paid plans) and adds vocals or instrumentals on Premier; Mureka accepts reference tracks; AIVA accepts audio or MIDI influences.
Do professionals use AI music generators?
Mostly for sketching, references, toplines, stems to rework and fast demos, then finishing in a DAW. The tools above are the ones whose official pages document that handoff (MIDI, stems or WAV).
