PhonicMind: cost, fit and limits
PhonicMind is a browser-based service that separates songs into vocals, instruments and up to eight usable stems, with an in-browser mixer, synced lyrics, tempo tracking and chord display, sold by subscription or as single-song conversions.
What to know first
PhonicMind sells four ways in. Sing, at $9.99 per month, returns lead vocals, back vocals and an instrumental for songs up to 5 minutes, with no downloads. Play and Studio, at $18.99 and $29.99 monthly, give up to 8 stems for songs up to 10 and 20 minutes. A single Studio conversion costs $6.99. The page names PhonicMind V.2.0 AI, which analyzes the full track in one pass, but shows prices with a dollar sign only and no currency code.

Who PhonicMind is best for
Karaoke and cover singers
Sing separates lead vocals, back vocals and instrumentals, and the player shows synced lyrics that can be edited and saved as a new timed version.
DJs using stem-aware software
Downloads arrive as .stem.mp4 files, a format the vendor cites as readable by DJ software and hardware, with Native Instruments named as an example.
Occasional users with one song
The $6.99 Single Studio Conversion gives Studio-grade output for one song without a subscription, which suits someone who splits music a few times a year.

What PhonicMind does
- Eight usable stems
- The engine recognizes up to 16 stem classes and delivers up to 8 usable stems plus a metronome, so the number of separate tracks is below the number of classes it detects.
- Browser stem mixer
- A mute-and-balance mixer in the browser lets you drop the part you are replacing or raise one line to learn it, without opening a DAW.
- Synced lyrics and chords
- The player shows synced lyrics, chords and tempo tracking, and any lyric edits you make are saved as a new timed version of the song.
- Wide input formats
- Uploads of MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC, WAV and AIFF are accepted up to 100 MB each, and finished downloads are offered as .stem.mp4 files that keep every stem inside one container.
How PhonicMind handles your data
The privacy policy at phonicmind.com does not state, on the pages we opened, whether uploaded music trains models, how long files or results are retained, or where processing takes place. No certifications are listed. The site shows a free preview on its demo player but states no trial length. The legal entity and country behind the service are not named on the pages we opened, which makes it hard to know which data law applies. Ask the vendor before uploading unreleased or client material.
Where PhonicMind falls short in practice
- Upload and length caps. Files are capped at 100 MB, and song length is limited to 5 minutes on Sing, 10 on Play and 20 on Studio, which excludes long DJ sets and live recordings.
- No downloads on Sing. The cheapest subscription cannot download anything, so it only works inside the browser player. Downloads start at Play, with MP3 mixes only, and lossless files at Studio.
- Unclear volume limits. Conversion counts are not published, and the one-song-per-X-minutes figures on the plans describe processing speed, not a monthly cap, which leaves buyers unsure how much they can run.
- Price shown without a currency. Subscription prices appear with a dollar sign only and no currency code, so buyers outside the United States cannot tell whether the figure is US dollars.

PhonicMind: common questions
How much does PhonicMind cost per month?
Sing costs $9.99 monthly, Play $18.99 and Studio $29.99, with yearly rates of $99.90, $189.90 and $299.90. A Single Studio Conversion for one song is $6.99. Prices are shown with a dollar sign only, so the currency is not confirmed on the page.
Can PhonicMind download my stems as lossless files?
Only on the Studio plan, which delivers Mix.flac and Stems.flac.zip downloads. Play gives MP3 downloads of custom mixes, and Sing allows no downloads at all. The Single Studio Conversion gives Studio-grade output for one song, which is the cheaper route if lossless files are needed once.
What is the longest song PhonicMind can process?
It depends on the plan: 5 minutes on Sing, 10 minutes on Play and 20 minutes on Studio. Every upload is also capped at 100 MB per file, whatever the plan. Long mixes and live recordings usually exceed one or both limits.
What file types can I upload to PhonicMind?
The site accepts MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC, WAV and AIFF files up to 100 MB. Results can be downloaded as .stem.mp4 files, a multi-stem format that the vendor says DJ software and hardware can read, and Native Instruments is cited as an example.
Is there a free way to try PhonicMind?
The demo player carries a FREE PREVIEW label, but the pages we opened state no trial length and list no free plan. A buyer who wants to test output cheaply can use the $6.99 Single Studio Conversion instead of committing to a monthly subscription.
