How to use this workflow
Locate the passage
Check whether your goal is hearing accompaniment or editing one specific instrument. Shared accompaniment may be enough for following rhythm.
Compare the evidence
Solo other and compare with the full mix at a passage where the desired instrument is exposed. Record which parts remain masked.
Save a usable reference
For independent guitar or piano edits, obtain permissioned original multitracks or use another workflow explicitly supporting the required target.
Worked example and evidence boundary
Consider an authored arrangement inventory: singer, drum kit, electric bass, acoustic guitar and piano. The four-role output has vocals, drums, bass and one other file containing estimated guitar plus piano. Five source instruments do not imply five output tracks. Adding a synth does not create a fifth role either. This is a category example, not a separation trial.
What to verify before using the result
The other label is a residual model category, not a quality rating or a promise that vocals never leak into it. PitchChanger has no guitar-versus-piano selector. Avoid renaming the combined file guitar-only when handing it to a collaborator; state that it is an estimated accompaniment reference.
Common questions
Can I download piano alone from the other stem?
The current four-role splitter does not offer a piano-only output. Other is a combined estimated role rather than an instrument menu.
