AudioShake

Once a recording is mixed down, getting at the dialogue, music or individual instruments inside it usually means finding the original session files, and those are often gone.

AudioShake is an AI stem splitter that separates music, film and user-generated recordings into dialogue, music, effects and instrument stems, so the audio can be reworked after the fact.

It also handles lyric transcription and alignment.

The uses are mostly professional.

Mixing and mastering teams can reach parts of a track baked into a stereo file.

Dubbing and captioning work starts with isolating dialogue from the music and effects underneath it.

AudioShake also points to interactive sync licensing, audio analysis, A/V editing, fan engagement and copyright work as places its stems get used.

The tags place AudioShake in vocal removal, transcription and subtitle generation too, so it reaches into text and timing as well as splitting.

If you only want to strip a vocal for a quick karaoke track, this is probably more tool than you need.

It fits better if you handle audio at catalog or production scale.
