Neural Analog

Overview

Neural Analog brings restoration, stem separation and mastering into one service. It can restore compressed MP3 audio to WAV, clean noise and upscale audio, with work available through the browser, a downloadable plugin or an API.

Audio can come from uploads or supported public links, including Suno, Mureka, YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, TikTok, Twitch and Reddit. Users retain ownership of uploads and generated outputs, subject to applicable law and third-party rights. Neural Analog says it does not train generative models on users’ music, although anonymized technical data may be used to improve utility models.

Key features

• Restoration and upscaling: Converting compressed MP3 audio to WAV and cleaning noise makes Neural Analog relevant for salvaging source material as well as preparing tracks for further work.
• Descriptive stem separation: SAM Audio separation accepts descriptions of the sound to isolate, such as an instrument, voice or sound effect. That gives users a more directed option than simply splitting a mix into stems.
• Mastering and Match EQ: Browser mastering targets -14 LUFS automatically, while the plugin includes Match EQ and mastering. The target is useful for a defined loudness workflow, but the stated target alone does not establish suitability for every delivery specification.
• Link imports and batch work: Importing from a broad set of public platforms can avoid downloading source audio first. Batch processing and downloads are available on paid plans and the one-time processing-minute packages, not the free plan.
• API workflow: The API supports music-link downloads, file uploads, restoration, mastering, stem splitting, audio-to-MIDI conversion and signed downloads, making it the stronger fit for developers automating audio jobs.

Processing minutes depend on audio duration and the selected model, with a 15-second minimum charge per job. Short clips therefore still consume a minimum allotment, a material constraint for users doing many small edits.

Pricing

Neural Analog is freemium, with paid plans from €8.25/mo (annual). A no-card trial includes every model for audio up to 30 seconds, a useful way to assess the model range before subscribing. The standard Free plan is more restricted: two online or AI-platform imports a month, playlists of up to five items, 50 MB uploads, six processing minutes monthly and 30-second inputs. It has no batch processing or downloads, and tracks are deleted after one week.

• Hobby — 8.25 EUR per month, billed €99 billed yearly: 300 imports a month, playlists up to 100 items, 256 MB files, inputs up to five minutes and 30 processing minutes monthly, plus batch processing and downloads. This is the entry point for recurring personal work, but the monthly processing allowance and short input cap rule it out for longer sessions.
• Pro — 29.00 EUR per month, no commitment, cancel anytime: 30,000 imports monthly, 100-item playlists, 512 MB files, inputs up to 30 minutes, 2,000 processing minutes and long-term storage. It fits sustained production or heavier batch workflows without an annual commitment.
• Max — 49.00 EUR per month, no commitment, cancel anytime: Unlimited imports and playlist items, 1,024 MB files, inputs up to 120 minutes, 6,000 processing minutes and long-term storage. Choose it when Pro’s quotas or duration ceiling are too tight; otherwise its extra capacity is unnecessary.
• Extra Processing Minutes: One-time, non-subscription purchases cost 20.00 EUR for 1,000 mn, 50.00 EUR for 3,000 mn, 100.00 EUR for 7,000 mn or 500.00 EUR for 40,000 mn. Each includes a 30-minute input limit, 256 MB uploads, restoration, mastering, stem-splitting and transcription models, batch processing and downloads; tracks are deleted after one week. These add-ons suit occasional bursts of work, but do not provide long-term storage.

There are no stated seat limits in these plan terms. The main trade-off is between Hobby’s low annual entry price and tight allowances, Pro and Max’s monthly flexibility and larger quotas, and one-time minutes that avoid a subscription but retain short-term track deletion.

Platforms

The service runs on the web and provides API access, with platform support across Linux, macOS and Windows. Its VST3, AU and AAX plugin builds cover those three desktop operating systems, which makes it a practical option for DAW users as well as browser-based work. Batch processing and API access extend it beyond one-off manual edits.

Neural Analog says it uses encryption in transit, access controls and logging to protect personal data. Deleting a track or account immediately flags source audio for removal from active storage, though some logs and metadata may remain.

Who it's for

Neural Analog is a strong fit for producers who want restoration, stem work and mastering in the same toolkit, especially if they use DAW plugins or need to automate jobs through an API. Hobby suits occasional short-track work; Pro and Max are better matches for regular batch processing, longer inputs or storage needs. It is less suitable for anyone who needs generous free use, must process long files on the entry plan, or needs tracks retained beyond a week without moving to a storage plan.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Browser, plugin and API workflows cover individual editing, DAW production and automated processing.
• Pro: The trial includes every model on short audio without requiring a credit card, so users can assess the tools before paying.
• Pro: Higher plans provide substantial import, file-size and processing-minute headroom, with long-term storage on Pro and Max.
• Con: The free plan allows only six processing minutes a month, 30-second inputs and two imports, and does not support batch work or downloads.
• Con: Hobby’s five-minute input ceiling and 30 monthly processing minutes will constrain longer or frequent sessions.
• Con: One-time minute packages still cap inputs at 30 minutes and delete tracks after a week, so they do not replace a storage-focused subscription.

Alternatives

For a broader shortlist, see AI Audio Restoration Software.

• Selekt Audio Restoration is a web-based freemium alternative with a seven-day free trial that requires a payment method and renews at $5/month or $50/year unless canceled; its trial also limits credits and catalog or quote downloads.
• MusiCraft AI Audio Enhancer is another web freemium option, with a free allowance of 50 credits per month and two editing runs monthly.
• Decrackle Audio AI is worth considering for basic denoising with a self-hosted or API route; its free plan provides 30 minutes of processing monthly but limits storage to 10 MB and output to MP3.
• Denoise suits mobile users on Android or iOS who want to hear a full before-and-after preview, but saving or exporting requires Pro.
• Wave Arts Master Restoration Suite 6 is a one-time $99.00 USD option for five restoration plugins on macOS or Windows, suited to users who want a plugin suite rather than Neural Analog’s browser and API mix.
• CEDAR Cambridge is a paid modular hardware and software system for buyers who want a configurable restoration setup.
• LANDR ReHance is a paid macOS, web and Windows alternative included with LANDR Studio, shown at $11.99 USD per month on annual plans.
• SpectraLayers Pro is a paid macOS and Windows option for spectral audio editing, repair and AI-assisted processing.

Verdict

Choose Neural Analog if you need restoration, stems and mastering across browser, DAW and API workflows, and expect to make use of batch tools or higher monthly allowances. Its breadth is the central reason to pick it; the narrow free tier and the gap between Hobby’s limits and the larger Pro commitment are the reasons to look elsewhere if your work is occasional, mobile-first or storage-sensitive.
