Demixr vs Denoise

Demixr is a web service for processing audio, with tools for separating vocals and instruments, removing reverb, marking speech, and analyzing BPM and key. Its Pro 1.5 vocal separation has Voice mode for complex mixes, live recordings, or speech over music, and Music mode for songs and covers or separating vocals from accompaniment. A separate stem tool uses Demucs to split music into vocals, drums, bass, and other parts. For dereverb, Demixr recommends isolating vocals first; applying the effect to a mixed track can cause artifacts or distortion. VAD provides editable speech-segment markers and batch export, though detection may be inaccurate with quiet vocals or noisy recordings. BPM analysis includes tempo, key, and Camelot values, with optional tap-to-sync. The free plan costs nothing and includes 10 minutes of audio monthly, a 10 MB upload limit, two VAD uses, queued processing, and no WAV downloads. Paid one-time plans start at $4/mo, without automatic renewal. Uploads and outputs are deleted within 24 hours by default.

Denoise is an audio cleanup app for Android and iOS that uses an on-device neural network to reduce wind, traffic, hiss, hum, and crowd noise in voice memos, interviews, and videos. Processing runs locally, including in airplane mode, and a one-minute clip typically takes 5–10 seconds. Users can import recordings from Voice Memos, Photos, Files, or an app share sheet; supported inputs include MP4, M4A, MP3, and WAV. The free plan lets users import, process, and hear a before-and-after preview, but saving and export require Pro. Pro can export M4A, MP3, or WAV, replace audio inside a video, restore detail in clipped, muffled, or distant recordings, and separate vocals from instrumental tracks on-device. Audio tools include a 5-band EQ with presets and automatic LUFS normalization. There is no file-length limit, including for recordings up to a three-hour lecture. Routes Software says recordings are neither uploaded nor stored, and the app has no user accounts. Google Firebase collects anonymous usage analytics and crash and diagnostic reports. Pro costs $2.99 a month or $14.99, paid once for lifetime access.
