Install ReStem 2, open it, and choose Start Free Trial. Every Pro feature unlocks for seven days on that machine, so you can judge the separation on the material you actually work on rather than on somebody else's demo track.
macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon, 10.15 or later on Intel · Windows 10 or later, 64-bit · The full list is on the Specs page.
Three steps, and the only thing we ask for is an email address to confirm.
Run the installer. It puts the standalone app and every plugin format in place, so you are covered whichever way you end up working.
Open ReStem 2 and choose Start Free Trial. Enter your name and email address, then click the link we send you. That confirmation is what unlocks the machine.
Every Pro feature runs on your own sessions for a week. It's one trial per machine, and the clock starts when you confirm, not when you download.
Live separation on the insert, all seven stems in every plugin format, the full rack of effects, and MIDI Output on every stem. Your license decides what stays afterwards: Core keeps the standalone app and both offline modes, Pro keeps everything you just tried.
Buy a license and the trial tone disappears the moment you activate.
Licenses activate online per machine. No iLok account or dongle required.
