Remove Background Noise from Recordings
Clean up recordings by removing background noise, hum, wind, and environmental sounds.
Separate Individual Instruments
Extract individual instrument tracks from mixed recordings for remixing, studying, or rebalancing.
ToolSource separation technology can isolate individual instruments from a mixed recording -- extracting drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, and vocals into separate tracks. This was impossible without the original multitrack session files until AI made it practical.
The applications span music production, education, and content creation. Producers can remix songs by adjusting individual instrument levels. Music students can isolate a guitar solo to study the technique. Cover bands can remove the vocal to create custom backing tracks. Film editors can rebalance a song's mix to better fit a scene.
While vocal isolation is the most common use case, full stem separation opens up creative possibilities that were previously locked behind studio access. Any recorded audio can be decomposed into its component parts and reassembled in new ways.
