Riffy Pro

What is Riffy Pro?

Riffy Pro is a separate license that you can buy to unlock extra features such as stem separation and music library scanning. Riffy Pro features are available only on the desktop Windows/MacOS apps.

How many times can I activate Riffy Pro license?

You can activate Riffy Pro on as many devices and as many times you want.

Why is Riffy Pro available only in Windows/MacOS app?

Pro features such as stem separation and local library require tools that are not available in the browsers. Also, we are dedicated to avoiding using the subscription model. To enable stem separation in the browser, we might introduce the audio processing on the cloud. However, that would require us to maintain the cloud infrastructure which inevitably leads to an introduction of the monthly fee.
By keeping all the processing on our users’ machine, we can keep the Riffy affordable and avoid the subscription model.

What kind of stem separation Riffy supports?

For now, you can choose between 4 tracks (vocals, drums, bass, other) and 6 tracks (vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, other) options. Please note that the 6 tracks model is experimental and the quality of the result audio might be worse in comparison with the 4 tracks model. Under the hood, Riffy uses an open-source Demucs music source separation model. At the moment, we are working on extending the list of available separation models.
