Moises
Run a local stem-separation model and build practice controls for user-owned songs
A consolation build is possible, but the paid product's decisive value sits outside a solo rebuild. For Moises, run a local stem-separation model and build practice controls for user-owned songs. The hard boundary is proprietary separation models, mobile polish, chord detection, cloud compute, and speed, plus licensed content, rights, and distribution network.
Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability
What you give up
- proprietary separation models, mobile polish, chord detection, cloud compute, and speed
- licensed music catalog
- royalty and distribution relationships
- global streaming infrastructure
- artist network and recommendations
Why people still pay
People still pay for Moises because the product is the catalog, rights chain, and distribution network; a player or processing tool is only the visible edge. The recurring cost buys catalog licensing, royalties, identity, content delivery, moderation, recommendations, payouts, codecs, and rights disputes, not just the visible interface.
Your build guide
The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.
Before you start
- legally owned local audio files
- ffmpeg
- local storage
- optional audio-analysis models
Use these project rules and optional skill references alongside the prompt. Review each skill before adding it to your agent; the AGENTS.md export includes the same guidance.
Project rule, data: Model owned tracks, file hashes, metadata, playlists or sessions, playback positions, and exports.
Project rule, behavior: For music services and creator audio tools, probe legally owned source tracks and retain their original hashes and rights metadata.
Project rule, recovery: A failed render cannot replace the source; exported sample rate, channel count, and duration must match the manifest.
Implementation plan
Phase 1, architecture and data
Use Python 3.12, FastAPI, SQLite, ffmpeg, and a local web interface. Model owned tracks, file hashes, metadata, playlists or sessions, playback positions, and exports.
Phase 2, implement
For music services and creator audio tools, probe legally owned source tracks and retain their original hashes and rights metadata.
Phase 3, implement
Run the named local analysis or transformation as a job with settings and failure logs.
Phase 4, review and output
Preview processed tracks and export new files plus a manifest of source, settings, and rights notes.
Phase 5, recovery and acceptance
Verify this invariant with a saved fixture: A failed render cannot replace the source; exported sample rate, channel count, and duration must match the manifest. State the practical limit: proprietary separation models, mobile polish, chord detection, cloud compute, and speed.
Build me a focused music services and creator audio tools workflow for the personal core of Moises. Requirements: - Use Python 3.12, FastAPI, SQLite, ffmpeg, and a local web interface. Model owned tracks, file hashes, metadata, playlists or sessions, playback positions, and exports. - Paid product context: Run a local stem-separation model and build practice controls for user-owned songs. Build only this DIY scope: Run a local stem-separation model on legally owned or user-created tracks, then provide private practice controls and playback for each song. - For music services and creator audio tools, probe legally owned source tracks and retain their original hashes and rights metadata. - Run the named local analysis or transformation as a job with settings and failure logs. - Preview processed tracks and export new files plus a manifest of source, settings, and rights notes. - Use a local web page with input, progress, review, and export views. Required input or access: legally owned local audio files; ffmpeg. - Recovery: A failed render cannot replace the source; exported sample rate, channel count, and duration must match the manifest. - Acceptance: with one labelled sample, show the input, saved intermediate state, and exported result; verify this invariant: A failed render cannot replace the source; exported sample rate, channel count, and duration must match the manifest. - Out of scope: proprietary separation models, mobile polish, chord detection, cloud compute, and speed; licensed music catalog. Keep this a personal, inspectable workflow. - Include a README with setup, a sample input, required keys or permissions, data location, and the supported scope.

Questions about Moises
Can you build your own Moises with AI?
A full replacement is not the recommended project. A consolation build is possible, but the paid product's decisive value sits outside a solo rebuild. For Moises, run a local stem-separation model and build practice controls for user-owned songs. The hard boundary is proprietary separation models, mobile polish, chord detection, cloud compute, and speed, plus licensed content, rights, and distribution network.
What does the Moises build prompt cover?
The prompt starts with this scope: Run a local stem-separation model on legally owned or user-created tracks, then provide private practice controls and playback for each song. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: proprietary separation models, mobile polish, chord detection, cloud compute, and speed; licensed music catalog; royalty and distribution relationships. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.
How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?
Start with the Moises prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.
How long will this Moises project take?
The catalogue estimate is closest consolation build: one sitting for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.
What would I give up by replacing Moises?
proprietary separation models, mobile polish, chord detection, cloud compute, and speed; licensed music catalog; royalty and distribution relationships; global streaming infrastructure; artist network and recommendations. People still pay for Moises because the product is the catalog, rights chain, and distribution network; a player or processing tool is only the visible edge. The recurring cost buys catalog licensing, royalties, identity, content delivery, moderation, recommendations, payouts, codecs, and rights disputes, not just the visible interface.
What price is this guide comparing against?
The recorded Premium plan is $5.99/mo per seat (monthly per user), checked 2026-08-12. Check the linked pricing source before buying. Building your own also has hosting, API and maintenance costs; the recorded amount is not a guaranteed saving.
What can I use instead of building Moises?
StemDeck: Local six-stem separation plus loops and a mixer; chords and pitch-shifting remain someone else’s problem. Check each option's license, hosting needs and feature limits.
