zplane Releases Peel Stems 2 – Major Improvements to Real-time Stem Separation

zplane has released Peel Stems 2, a major update to its real-time stem separation plugin. Version 2 offers considerable advancements in speed, sound quality, and usability over version 1. The update makes real-time stem separation more responsive and practical in everyday DAW workflows.

At the same time, separation quality and clarity have been improved. A redesigned interface provides clearer visual feedback and faster, more intuitive operation.
