Selekt Audio Restoration review
Affordable browser-based cleanup for vocals, podcasts, and archival recordings.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Selekt Audio Restoration is a browser-based AI tool for producers, composers, podcasters, video creators, and other audio users who need to clean recorded material. Its modern-voice mode targets isolated vocals, voiceovers, podcasts, and steady room noise, while its vintage mode is designed for vinyl, cassette, gramophone, tape, and archival recordings. It reduces hiss, hum, fan and air-conditioning noise, room-floor noise, clicks, pops, crackle, rumble, and thump. MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, and OGG files are supported, with uploads up to 250 MB.
The pricing structure combines free access, a trial, memberships, and usage-based processing. The Free plan covers catalog browsing, full catalog listening, and instant browser utilities. The seven-day Free Trial adds catalog downloads and upload-processing workflows, with three downloads to keep and three studio credits. Early Access costs $5 per month for 50 catalog downloads, 15 monthly studio credits, connected project handoffs, and a signed certificate for eligible catalog exports. An annual Early Access option costs $50 per year. Individual Audio Restoration processing costs $0.25 per track, with mastering included free and stems available for additional credits.
Selekt’s strongest fit is focused restoration rather than a broad production environment. Users can compare original, restored, and mastered outputs, optionally apply free mastering, and store restored results in a library with 48-hour availability. The service also supports connected project handoffs on Early Access plans. Its web-only delivery and lack of plugin support make it less suitable for users who need restoration inside a digital audio workstation, while batch and API workflows are outside its stated offering. Choose Selekt for affordable vocal cleanup and archival repair; choose an alternative for integrated or large-scale processing workflows.
