What it is

Selekt Audio Restoration is a browser-based tool for cleaning vocal recordings and older recordings or transfers. Modern voice mode targets steady room noise in isolated vocals, voiceovers and podcasts; vintage mode addresses hiss, hum, crackle, clicks and surface noise. Users can optionally master the cleaned track at no charge and compare or download the original, restored and mastered versions. The tool accepts MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A and OGG files up to 250 MB. Modern voice mode treats non-voice audio as noise, so a full mix may require separating the vocal stem first. Users can also choose stems to split restored audio. Uploads are processed privately and are not added to the catalog. Results appear in My Library → Studio Results and remain available to stream or download for 48 hours. The restoration workflow is part of Selekt’s connected audio workspace, where results can move to tools such as Stem Lab and Drum Kit. A free plan is available; paid access starts at $5 per month, with an annual option at $50 per year.

Selekt Audio Restoration in depth

Read the full write-up

Selekt Audio Restoration is a web tool for cleaning isolated speech and complete vintage recordings. It is best for creators who want a focused restoration workflow inside Selekt’s connected audio workspace. Its two-mode approach is useful, but voice cleanup is only appropriate for voice-only audio, and results are temporary.

Overview

Modern voice mode targets steady room noise in isolated vocals, voiceovers and podcasts; vintage mode tackles hiss, hum, crackle, clicks and surface noise across complete recordings. That separation makes the tool more suitable for distinct restoration jobs than for cleaning an arbitrary full mix with voice mode. Uploads can be MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A or OGG, up to 250 MB.

After processing, users can compare the original, restored and optionally mastered versions. Mastering is free, and users can also choose to split the restored audio into stems. Results appear in My Library → Studio Results and remain streamable or downloadable for 48 hours, so this is a poor fit for anyone who needs a long-term online archive.

Selekt says uploads are processed privately, used only to produce the result, and neither added to the catalog nor used to train models. Its privacy policy describes TLS/SSL encryption in transit and infrastructure access controls. The browser workflow connects with other Selekt tools, including Stem Lab and Drum Kit, which may be useful for creators already working in that workspace.

Key features

Choose the mode to match the source

Voice mode is designed for recordings that contain only voice: it treats non-voice audio as noise, so using it on an unseparated full mix risks removing wanted sounds. Selekt recommends separating a vocal stem first when the source is a full mix. Vintage mode is the better choice for complete older recordings affected by common surface noise and recording artifacts.

Compare, master and split

Users can compare or download the original and restored files, then optionally master the cleaned track without an added mastering charge. Stem splitting is another available option. The restoration page describes a cost of a quarter per track with mastering included, while also displaying a call to action for 0.5 credit ($0.50); check the credit cost before starting if per-track spend matters to the project.

Short result window

Finished files are available for 48 hours in Studio Results. That makes prompt downloading part of the workflow rather than an optional housekeeping step, particularly for projects that need archived source and output files.

Pricing

Selekt uses a freemium model, with a free plan, a seven-day trial and paid access from $5/mo. The restoration page gives a per-track price of a quarter, with mastering included, and shows a 0.5 credit ($0.50) call to action. Those two displayed amounts make it worth confirming the credit charge before processing.

The rate is locked while subscribed.The trial suits someone who wants to try the studio before paying, but requires a payment method and renews unless canceled. Free access is useful for browsing and streaming, not for new restoration uploads. Early Access is the practical choice for recurring restoration or broader studio use; its 15 monthly studio credits are the key quota to weigh against expected workload.

Platforms

Selekt Audio Restoration runs in a web browser. Plugin support is not available, so it is not a fit for a workflow that requires a restoration plug-in inside a desktop audio host.

Who it's for

The tool suits podcasters, video creators, producers, composers and game developers working with noisy speech or vintage recordings. It is especially convenient for Selekt users who want restoration and adjacent studio tools in one browser workspace. Choose another workflow if voice cleanup must preserve music in a full mix, if results need to stay online beyond 48 hours, or if plug-in integration is essential.

Pros and cons

Two distinct restoration modes: voice and vintage modes target different source types and noise problems, rather than applying one approach to every recording.

Free mastering and optional stem splitting: useful additions when a restored track needs further preparation, without an extra mastering charge.

Private upload handling: files are not added to the catalog or used to train models, with encryption in transit and infrastructure access controls described by Selekt.

Voice mode can remove wanted audio: it treats anything other than voice as noise, so a full mix needs vocal separation first.

Results expire after 48 hours: users must download files promptly rather than rely on the service for storage.

Free plan excludes fresh upload processing: restoration requires trial credits or paid studio access.

Alternatives

AI Audio Restoration Software is a broader category to explore when comparing restoration tools.

Neural Analog may suit users seeking broader platform coverage, including API, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Its free plan is limited to 2 online or AI-platform imports per month, playlists of up to 5 items, 50 MB uploads and 6 processing minutes per month.

MusiCraft AI Audio Enhancer is another web-based freemium option; its free plan provides 50 credits per month and 2 editing runs per month.

Decrackle Audio AI is worth considering for API or self-hosted access. Its free plan includes 10 MB storage, 30 minutes of processing per month, basic denoising, EnhanceNet v2 and MP3 output only.

Denoise is the mobile alternative for Android or iOS users who want to import and denoise for free and hear the full before-and-after; saving or exporting requires Pro.

Wave Arts Master Restoration Suite 6 is a desktop option for macOS and Windows users who want five restoration plug-ins and have a compatible audio plug-in host; it costs $99, paid once.

CEDAR Cambridge is a paid macOS and Windows modular hardware and software system for buyers whose needs call for configurable options.

LANDR ReHance may fit users already seeking LANDR Studio, since ReHance is included in the subscription, which is priced at $11.99 a month on annual plans.

SpectraLayers Pro is another paid desktop option for spectral audio editing, repair and AI-assisted processing.

Verdict

Choose Selekt Audio Restoration for browser-based cleanup of isolated voice or vintage recordings, especially if you also want free mastering and access to Selekt’s connected audio tools. Its strongest reason to choose it is the clear split between speech and vintage restoration workflows; look elsewhere if you need safe voice removal from an unseparated mix, plug-in support or longer result retention.

Verdict

Selekt offers distinct workflows for voice cleanup and vintage audio restoration, with optional mastering and stem splitting. Check the voice-only limitation and 48-hour result window before starting a project.
