AudioShake review
Separates music and dialogue for production workflows, with API and on-device options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AudioShake separates mixed recordings into music stems such as vocals, instrumentals, drums, bass, piano, guitar, winds, and strings. It also handles dialogue, music, and effects, and can separate multiple speakers with diarization and confidence scores. Lyric transcription and word-by-word alignment extend its use into captioning and localization workflows. Independent artists, labels, media companies, developers, and post-production teams are among its intended users; its range is especially relevant when separation needs to fit into a broader production process.
The product spans web access, API integration, and SDK-based on-device processing, with self-hosted workflows also listed. Streaming and batch processing address different production needs, while integrations include Algoriddim djay Pro, Voloco, Chordal, and Dubverse. That breadth favors teams incorporating separation into applications or existing workflows rather than looking only for a simple standalone stem tool. Specialized instrument models and speaker diarization offer more targeted options than basic vocal-and-instrumental separation.
AudioShake is paid and has no free plan. Its monthly tiers are Starter with 4 stems, Standard with 10, and Label / Pro with 20; each lists a 44.1 kHz sample rate, bit depth matching the input file including 24-bit and 32-bit support, and a 128 kbps bit rate. Those monthly caps make plan fit dependent on expected volume, and the published highlights may be restrictive for teams requiring other output specifications. Choose AudioShake when its specialized separation, API, or on-device workflows match production needs; teams seeking a free option or a simpler tool with fewer workflow requirements should consider alternatives.
