AudioShake in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

AudioShake is an audio-processing service for separating music and finished mixes, editing lyrics, isolating speakers and improving speech recordings. It suits musicians, media teams and developers who need those specialized workflows across browser, API or private deployments. Its range is a strength, but it is not a general speech transcription service.

Key features

AudioShake Studio separates music into vocal and instrumental stems, with options for drums, bass, piano, guitar, winds, strings and other parts. It can also split finished mixes into dialogue, music and effects. That makes it more useful for production and media post-production than a tool limited to removing vocals; those needing only a simple vocal split may not need the broader set of tools. It accepts WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, AAC, M4A, MP4 and MOV files up to 2 GB.

The Lyric Editor transcribes lyrics, aligns words to the recording, and supports editing and realignment in a browser. Multi-Speaker separates overlapping speakers into labelled tracks. Speech Recovery denoises and de-reverbs recordings to improve intelligibility. These workflows extend AudioShake beyond music, but the transcription boundary matters: it focuses on lyrics, not general speech transcription.

Developers can use REST API processing, batch and streaming workflows, and webhooks. The Local Inference SDK is offered for iOS, macOS, Android, Windows and Linux. For organizations that need audio to remain within their own perimeter, AudioShake offers inference deployed in a customer cloud or fully offline. Its technology is also available through Chordal, OOONA, Yella Umbrella, Dubverse and cielo24.

AudioShake displays a SOC 2 compliance badge on its Data Services page. Its privacy policy says it does not sell users' personal information and describes security measures and access restrictions for personal data.

Pricing

PlanPriceIncludesFreefree200 starting credits, MP3 export, files up to 10 minutes, stem separation and lyric editing.Starter$20 a month500 credits every month, all tools, WAV, FLAC and MP3 exports, and files up to 2 hours.Pro$40 a month1,500 credits every month, all tools, WAV, FLAC and MP3 exports, and files up to 2 hours.EnterpriseCustom pricingSSO support, custom SLA, team workspaces and early access to new models.The free tier is a useful way to try stem separation and lyric editing, but the 10-minute file cap and MP3-only export restrict longer work and higher-quality delivery. Starter raises the file ceiling to two hours and unlocks lossless exports and all tools; Pro offers three times the monthly credits for twice the price, so it fits heavier recurring use. Both are billed monthly, and yearly billing is available in Studio. Enterprise is the relevant tier for teams needing SSO, shared workspaces or a custom SLA. The service also offers a free trial.

Platforms

AudioShake supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web and API access, with self-hosted deployment also available. Its platform range is unusually broad for a specialized audio tool: browser workflows suit individual editing, while SDK, API and private inference options suit product teams and organizations with deployment constraints.

Who it's for

The developer documentation identifies AI companies, media companies, and developers building karaoke, remix, practice and audio-experience apps as intended users. Musicians can use the stem and lyric workflows; media teams can separate dialogue, music and effects or recover speech. AudioShake is a poor fit for anyone who primarily needs general-purpose speech transcription.

Pros and cons

Broad separation choices: Music stems and dialogue, music and effects cover both production and post-production work.

Useful adjacent tools: Lyric editing, overlapping-speaker separation and speech recovery bring several audio tasks into one service.

Flexible deployment: REST API, local inference SDK and private or offline inference give developers and organizations options beyond browser use.

Free-tier constraints: MP3-only exports and a 10-minute cap make the free plan unsuitable for longer files or lossless delivery.

Limited transcription scope: The lyric-focused transcription tool does not replace general speech-to-text software.

Alternatives

For a broader set of stem-separation options, compare the Stem Separation Software directory; for voice-focused tools, see AI Voice Isolators.

LALAL.AI has an always-free queue with 10 minutes and a 200 MB per-file cap, plus previews but no full downloads; choose it if those free previews are enough to evaluate results.

Moises allows five monthly uploads of files up to five minutes on its free plan, with limited stem options; choose it if that lighter usage allowance fits.

Pymss is free, open source and runs locally; choose it if local operation matters more than AudioShake's broader hosted, API and private-deployment workflows.

Fadr offers free MP3 downloads, MIDI detection and a Remix Maker alongside vocals, melodies, drums and bass separation; choose it if those remix-oriented features suit the job.

MVSEP offers a free unregistered tier with 100+ AI models and up to 50 daily separations, but caps files at 10 minutes and 100 MB and has low queue priority; choose it if model variety and that free quota matter more than AudioShake's larger upload limit.

Sonura offers daily credits for loops, one-shots, effects and full tracks, with free creations placed in the public domain under CC0; choose it for that kind of music creation workflow.

StemDeck is free forever with no account, quota, uploads or subscription, but runs one job at a time; choose it if those no-account terms matter more than AudioShake's additional tools.

MusiCraft Stem Splitter offers a free tier with 50 monthly credits and two editing runs, with downloads locked; choose it if preview-only editing fits your needs.

Verdict

Choose AudioShake if you need music or mix separation alongside lyric editing, speaker separation or speech recovery, especially when API, SDK or private deployment matters. Its free tier is tightly capped, and the lack of general speech transcription makes it the wrong choice for broad transcription work.

Verdict

AudioShake covers music stems, speaker separation, lyric editing and speech cleanup, with API and private-deployment options. Its free tier has file-length and export limits, and it is not a general speech transcription service.
