 # StemDeck
 
+![StemDeck](stemdeck.png)
+
 Paste a YouTube URL, get the audio split into stems (vocals / drums / bass / guitar / piano / other) and play them back in a DAW-style multitrack mixer. Mute, solo, mix, zoom the waveform, loop a region, and download individual stems or a custom mix.
 
 Local-only, single-user. One Python process serves both the REST/SSE API and the static frontend.
