Audiola review
Separate songs locally, then edit, process, and export the resulting tracks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Audiola is a free desktop audio-production studio for Windows, macOS, and Linux, aimed at people who want to separate a song and continue working on its parts in one application. Its local AI workflow uses Demucs and other audio-separator models to extract vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other sounds without uploading audio for separation. That makes it a fit for music makers, editors, and other audio projects where local processing and follow-on editing matter more than a browser-based workflow.
Separation is only the starting point: a multitrack timeline supports arranging, cutting, fading, looping, and moving clips, while track effects include reverb, echo, normalization, reverse, and vocal cleanup. The broader toolset also covers EQ, compression, loudness normalization and presets for mastering, plus spatial positioning with binaural or multichannel rendering. Voice cloning, text-to-speech, per-clip voice swapping, and Whisper transcription with LRC lyrics generation extend the application beyond stem extraction. Exports include WAV, MP3, and AAC-M4A for mixes or individual tracks. Buyers who want a focused separator without production and voice tools may find this breadth unnecessary.
Audiola is free, and its listed integration is ElevenLabs. The desktop scope suits people working on Windows, macOS, or Linux, but it is not positioned as a mobile app, and the integration list is narrow for users who depend on a connected software ecosystem. Audiola is also distributed without an open-source license, so it is not the choice for buyers who require open-source software. Pick it if local separation, editing, and mastering in a free desktop studio match your workflow; consider a narrower alternative if you need broader integrations or a dedicated separation tool.
