Audiola vs AudioShake

Audiola is a free desktop audio studio for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It separates songs into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other stems with Demucs running locally, without cloud processing or uploads. The multitrack studio supports cutting, moving, fading, looping, undo history, snapping, and effects. Karaoke view shows lyrics and the original melody, scores singing, and can tune a recorded take toward that melody. Mastering tools provide EQ, compression, EBU R128 loudness targeting, live A/B comparison, and 14 profiles. Users can create local or ElevenLabs voice profiles, swap a clip’s voice, and generate speech from text; the maker advises using only owned or licensed voices. Tracks can be placed in a 7.1.4 spatial bed, which the maker says can be exported. Exports include WAV, MP3, and AAC-M4A. A contact form accepts questions and reports without an account.

AudioShake separates and processes audio for creators and developers. Studio can split music into vocal and instrument stems or divide finished mixes into dialogue, music and effects. Multi-Speaker separates overlapping voices into labelled tracks, while Speech Recovery denoises and de-reverbs recordings to improve speech intelligibility. The browser-based Lyric Editor transcribes lyrics, aligns words with recordings and supports editing and realignment. Studio accepts WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, AAC, M4A, MP4 and MOV files up to 2 GB. Developers can use REST API processing for batch or streaming workflows, with webhooks; a Local Inference SDK is offered for iOS, macOS, Android, Windows and Linux. Private inference can run in a customer's cloud or fully offline. The free plan starts with 200 credits, MP3 export and files up to 10 minutes. Starter costs $20 a month and Pro costs $40 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom. AudioShake focuses on lyric transcription, not general speech transcription.
