The new AudioTools Source Separation by AudioShake module enables AudioTools Server users to extract dialogue, music, and effects from finished program audio, creating separate outputs for dubbing, localization, dialogue enhancement, music replacement, rights management, and new audio mixes. The module can also generate a clean music-and-effects (M&E) track, helping content owners prepare existing assets for alternate-language versions and new distribution opportunities.

For broadcasters, studios, streaming providers, and content libraries, the ability to separate a finished mix into usable components can solve several practical problems. Dialogue can be isolated to improve intelligibility or replaced with a different language version; music can be removed or replaced for artistic or licensing reasons; effects can be separated for editorial work, restoration, or remixing – especially valuable workflows for those times when original multitrack sessions are unavailable, incomplete, or cannot be accessed.

AudioTools Source Separation by AudioShake can be combined with other AudioTools Server modules to create repeatable, file-based workflows for large-scale content processing. This allows users to integrate source separation with existing loudness control, quality control, transcoding, language, and delivery processes.

AudioTools Source Separation by AudioShake is available now as a monthly or annual subscription for AudioTools Server customers. Each license enables one concurrent instance and includes processing for up to 40 hours of input content per month.
