In their own words
Audiola
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.
Sonura
Sonura is an artist-led AI music studio for making loops, vocals, one-shots, stems, and full tracks in a browser or DAW. Its Sonura Split tool separates an uploaded mixed track into vocals and instrumental, or into six stems: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other. It accepts WAV or MP3 uploads and returns stems in either format. Sonura says most tracks finish in under a minute, while longer files and six-stem splits can take a few minutes; processing runs on its machines. The page directs users to check the app for the current file-size limit but does not state the limit. For DAWs, Sonura Flow is a VST3 and AU plugin for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Studio One, Bitwig, Cubase, Reaper, and GarageBand. It is available for macOS 12 Monterey or later and 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, and needs an internet connection while creating sounds. Sonura says stem splitting is cleared for commercial use if users own or have permission to use the recording. The free plan includes daily creation allowances; paid plans start at $20/mo.
