Audiola

What Audiola is

Audiola is a free desktop audio studio for separating songs into tracks, editing arrangements, singing along, changing voices, and mastering audio. Its Demucs stem separation runs locally on the user's computer, without cloud processing or uploading, and can separate vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other parts. The multitrack studio supports cutting, moving, fading, and looping clips, with undo history, snapping, and effects. Karaoke view displays lyrics and the original melody, scores a singing take, and can tune a recording toward that melody. Mastering tools include EQ, compression, loudness targeting per EBU R128, live A/B comparison, and 14 profiles. For voice work, users can create profiles locally or through ElevenLabs, swap a clip's voice, and generate speech tracks from text; the maker advises using only voices that are theirs or licensed. Tracks can be placed in a 7.1.4 spatial bed, which the maker says can be exported. Exports include WAV, MP3, and AAC-M4A. Downloads are listed for Windows x64, macOS Apple Silicon and Intel, and Linux x64. Audiola offers a contact form without requiring an account.
