LALAL.AI vs Riverside Magic Audio

LALAL.AI uses AI to separate vocals and instrument stems, clean voice recordings, change or clone voices, and reduce echo and reverb. Its available stem types include vocals, instrumental, drums, bass, electric and acoustic guitar, piano, synthesizer, strings, and wind instruments. The web vocal remover accepts audio and video formats, including MP3, WAV, FLAC, MP4, and MOV. Fast Queue prioritizes processing, while Relaxed Queue processes as server capacity allows; both provide the same separation quality. Usage minutes are calculated by multiplying file length by the number of selected stem types. The desktop app supports Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu Linux, with batch processing for up to 20 files; Pro subscribers can optionally process locally offline. The API and VST plugin offer other ways to use the tools. The free Starter plan includes 10 Relaxed Queue minutes, but does not allow full downloads. Lite costs $7.50 a month billed annually.

Riverside Magic Audio is an audio enhancer and equalizer for improving recordings. Its batch processing removes background noise, echo, and reverb, and adjusts frequency bands, voice clarity, loudness, and volume. Riverside describes it for podcasts, social clips, meetings, interviews, voice recordings, and tutorials. You can upload audio or video in formats including MP3, WAV, OGG, MP4, MPEG, and WEBM. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web. Riverside says it does not use your data to train the model, and its pricing FAQ says the feature does not require AI credits. Magic Audio is included with Pro, listed at $24 a month billed annually ($288 annually). A free plan is also listed, with a one-off two hours of multi-track recordings, video up to 720p, a Riverside watermark, and 44.1 kHz audio. The pricing note lists a 14-day trial. Separate-track download hours depend on the plan, though recording is unlimited on Pro, Grow, and Webinar.
