Moises: The Musician's App Reviews

It’s like having iZotope RX ($1,200 software) music rebalance tool in your pocket for free. It takes all of the tools musicians like to use to practice and break down music and puts them together in one easy to use apps! Getting all of the information you need about a song, and creating your own mix to play along with right on your phone makes jamming and practicing so much more practical than needing to create a new version of the song every time. Either in some expensive software or online service. Being able to just change something about my musics playback on a whim instantly allows me to stay in the creative flow, and lets me execute a vision in real time. The list of ways Moises is useful is miles long!

This is one of the greatest practice tools for any musician to learn any recorded music. Playing along to a recording is great but this steps it up to the next level by isolating what you want to hear. As a lead guitarist it’s great for working on timing tone and execution by not having your mistakes covered up by another guitar player. The pitch changer is pretty cool too.
My only complaint is the phasing/washing effect that occurs when frequencies bleed from a track that is supposed to be muted, but hey it’s still awesome. I’m sure a lot of these problems will be fine tuned as Moises develops. This is a tool that I really wished I’d had when I first started playing 35 years ago…. I highly recommend it to any musician for practice and just cutting loose and having fun.

I’m actually quite surprised about how well this can take away the vocal section of certain songs. However, much like trying to remove the vocals from songs, through Audacity, there will be little hints of some volume changes and minor alteration in overall quality, in certain sections of a song that contained vocals. Therefore, you wouldn’t quite have the studio quality mix of the song, due to the reduction of the vocals, or any other sections of the song. Regardless, it’s good enough for practice or recording covers. If I were to record my vocals, or guitar parts, I would just figure out how to blend in my parts into the instrumental, and do a post-production mix on my computer.

This is an excellent music tool and I love the features that it provides, but… it’s a little annoying how you can only transpose the song up or down one half step. I understand that this is a feature that you should pay for, but I would rather only make a one time payment. It is just annoying because I won’t be using Moises every day and I don’t like paying for something I’m not using all the time. I would rather make a larger one time payment and have the tool whenever I need it or want it. Other that, this is sold app and definitely recommend it to any and all musicians.

Moises is amazing for what it can do, I’m a full time musician and using this to practice songs on drums, piano, guitar and bass has been amazing! But! There have been a few times where I would put the metronome click on the left and put every other tracks coming out to the right but the clock was still bleeding through the right signal (recently had that situation during a live stream and didn’t notice until I watched the playback 🤦🏻‍♂️).

I hope in the future there could be a desktop/laptop version of Moises as well as having Moises be interface friendly where we can have the tracks in stereo (out 1 & 2) and click (out 3 & 4).

Another con is the metronome itself, there have been times when the metronome wouldn’t be accurate in parts of songs and would sometimes drag or rush out of sync of the song then back, if there could be a way that we can fine tune the metronome somehow? Anything that can help in those areas would be amazing and definitely worth paying for.

But over all, this is a really great product.

Moises settled my divorce, I realized that my wife and I were not meant for each other once I heard the beautiful voice of Taylor swift without music and just calm and ethereal. From the moment I heard that I knew my wife could never compare to Taylor swift I knew in my 12 years of living that I had not been living for myself and even though my life was basically over by that age I divorced my wife and created a multi 10 dollar company selling bottled happiness and made my way to marrying Taylor swift. So yeah good app for vocal and instrumental separation five star out of five.

This is my first app review in 8 years of having apple products. As a drummer my biggest issue is finding drum less tracks to play over. I found Moises through a video and thought it was too good to be true but I tried it out anyways. this is literally a godsend. been messing around with it for the last 10 min. the part that really seals the deal is the “Paste URL” feature - because if you use apple music technically the songs aren’t really downloaded on your phone, so being able to paste a URL changes the game. Whoever created this there is a special place in heaven for U.

After trying various apps that claim to separate tracks/ stems, this one certainly does the best job so far. I think the price for the premium upgrade is fair and worth the money. If you understand audio, it’s extremely difficult to get perfection taking into account that each recording is mixed differently and the better the source audio is, the better the results. My initial impression is that it’s very well designed, simple, intuitive and if used properly can be an excellent tool for beginner to pro musicians. I would give it a 5 star rating if the resulting audio was perfect but I have hope that technology will get there. This one is close and I recommend it!

New music can be a challenge. Being able to slow it down to a learning speed and speed it up as you get the notes under your fingers is really helpful. That’s available on other apps I know, but you can also tone down the other instruments so that you can hear your part better. You can Put the song on repeat, and I know there are other massive qualities about Moises which I have not explored. Anyway this is my go to for learning new music every week.

OMG I love Moises so much. I use it singing and drumming. I’ll strip away all but the instrument in practicing to learn it, then strip out my instrument and bring the others back for a play-along. It’s count-in isn’t perfect, but the most accurate I’ve found. I even used this to create a vocal-free track that I turned into a karaoke video in Final Cut. My requests would be: 1. An iPad resolution version of Moises . 2. Shorter trim options. Sometimes I need to run one bar over and over. Maybe an option to pause between repeats.

I play bass a lot at home and for some songs, I can’t seem to hear what the bass is doing. With Moises, after scanning a song, you can literally mix the song the way you want. You can even slow it down, change keys, and pan volumes too! If you are worried about the quality of how good it separates the song into different instruments just know that I put songs I knew very well and it did an amazing job at keeping drums together, bass in its own group and other instruments separate. Great app, easy to use, very helpful for musicians.

Vocals got completely messed up as soon as I started making adjustments. Now they won’t come back. Bass adjustments very weak. If I remove the guitar then the bass weakens considerably. If I remove drums then bass is also lost. Remove vocals and guitar, and the remaining bass and drums are super weak (like I’m listening through a thick wall). Just lost everything but bass on a couple songs, and restarting Moises isn’t fixing the problem. In other words, there seems the be a ton of glitches. Looking through other reviews, it is apparent that others are having the same problems (though other people are describing the problems better than I am). Super disappointing, esp cuz a dude on YT was raving about Moises . Would be a great app if they fix this stuff. I would even pay for it.

I honestly enjoyed using Moises for practicing drums! I no longer have to find a drum-less version of a particular song. Although separation quality isn’t the best as it does have some glitches throughout some of my songs but it is very well good enough for practicing. Ai will only get better and better so we can only expect this to get better throughout the days! I hope they keep this free and also keep the metronome for free as well not just 1 minute. But hey, $3.99 a month is not that bad in my opinion!

Wow… I have had software before that can separate vocals from guitars from drums etc. but nothing like this, at least without having to do a ton of tweaking. Moises is so awesome because even the software I mentioning was never as good as this is when it comes to separating vocals. Even if you don’t need this application you need to go ahead and download it anyway because it is so much fun to listen to all your favorite songs like for the first time again in a new mix LOL

Bravo developers, bravo!

1 star bc it doesn’t do 100% of its job AND ALSO!! After ONE song, I wanted to try another song. So I went to open the file for it and your stupid app kept telling me to confirm my email address EVEN WHEN I clicked “Later.” So I went and tried to do what you wanted me to do but the link provided IN Moises didn’t work. When i tried using Gmail, I clicked that and it never sent an email when it said it would ETHIER. So now bc I have to confirm my email dress even tho it won’t let me, I can’t do anything! I only did one song and it was a live version of the song I was doing and it sounded like a ton of dementors that were mumbling in my phone. Waste of time clearly. AND I BETTER NOT RECEIVE ONE OF THOSE COPIED AND PASTED “wE’rE sOrRy YoU dIdN’t GeT tHe ExPeRiEnCe YoU hOpEd FoR” DON’T EVEN🙄🖐 GOODBYE

Moises is amazing! I love to make these sound because there are so fun! I definitely recommend Moises so much, if you are looking for good apps that you could edits sounds and change the vocals I definitely recommend this app. Having Moises is like a blessing, One thing this app Should add is like instead of inn porting the sound from files They should add the photos thing so when you want to import a sound you could select the sound you want from photos. But, Download this app now ITS AMAZING!!!!

this app is awesome. I use it all the time to strip apart vocals and instrumentals. It works better or just as well as any other programs I’ve found online, but I can easily do it from my phone for free, without having to creat a new account every time or be limited to 10 mins for free.

Obviously the separation won’t be 100%, anyone that has used apps like this before knows that. But for how easy and convenient Moises is, I can honestly recommend it to anyone who is interested.

I don’t normally do reviews like this but this software is just amazing! I’m a musician and I found Moises when I wanted to learn some chords to a SoundCloud song, but couldn’t identify the chords because the guitar was very low, so I just screen recorded the song, turned it into a mp4 file and uploaded it into this app and was able to just hear the guitar track only! It’s also great for drummers who want to muffle the drum track to certain songs for play along! Thnx this app!

Excellent learning tool!!! Fun too!! You must try this and you will find many ways to utilize this innovative app!! Wow!
I wish I would have had this as a kid learning drums! This program alone would have had a major impact on my ability toward the advancement of me playing and learning to play drums in my formative years. I’m 65years old now and I’ve actively played drums for 54 years. I am grateful for all I’ve learned and I keep learning everyday - grateful for this app.

So first of all I really like Moises, it’s been really good at eliminating drum tracks from mixes. I just upgraded to premium, but I am having a catastrophic issue which is every time I try and export a mix without drums it gets to 98% and just stays. Never completes the export even after waiting 30+ minutes. I have the most recent version of app and most recent iOS. Not sure what can be done. I’ve deleted and reinstalled Moises , restarted phone. Same results. I was really enjoying it, now it’s essentially useless for my purposes.

I needed to remove vocals from a song and Moises did the trick. I can’t believe how fast and easy it was. I’ll definitely tell all my friends that might have the same need as I did and specially all my musically talented friends. Thanks for the great app!

This is honestly such a great app just like how it separates the instruments and vocals and it’s still the same quality and the quality doesn’t down grade man amazing app the only part I hate is that PAYING like can we just get it without paying like gosh

Thank you very much for responding. I have found another way to do it and it works perfectly! Amazing app and great developers! Have a wonderful day and good luck to anything that comes along your way! 😄

I have so much fun extracting vocals and singing on top of my favorite tunes. It’s impressive what Moises can do to the songs and how it easily allows me to practice singing and playing along. I totally recommend it!

I am loving it.

It’s incredible how you separate the instrumentation and give the user the opportunity to download MP3s of that isolated sound. One of the coolest apps I’ve used. Keep it up! Thanks!

The quality is so horrible and I bought the premium version thinking it would be better and it was just as bad you can still hear the vocals and it ruins the entire quality of the song. Disappointed :/

Super easy to use. I'm impressed with how it separates different elements of any song.
Highly recommended for producers and DJs.

If you play literally any instrument, download Moises. It works flawlessly and the premium is worth it 100%.

I love Moises works perfectly fine for removing vocals

I can’t access my Apple Music library, so I really can’t process any songs...

I cant believe how AI can do this! Amazing!!

Can’t even upload a single URL link and I don’t use ITunes so that isn’t an option either.

I freaking love Moises!!!

It’s really convenient if you’re a singer and don’t play an instrument like myself. You can get any song you want (I get it from YouTube) and you can change the key and take out an instrument if you want.

I loved it. I tried the Adele version of You Make Me Feel My Love on the piano! Sooo beautiful! Nice app for sure!

The vocals and instrumental tracks needs to be clean
