What stays and what goes
Voices stay, in the speaker's own sound, whether it's one narrator or a whole panel. The music goes, from a quiet bed under a voiceover to a track as loud as the speech, and so does every other sound that isn't a voice: effects, a crowd, traffic, the hum of a room. It works by keeping voices, not by recognizing the track, so it doesn't need to know which one it was.
The examples above are a reader over music that plays alone first and then sits under her voice, and a podcast intro with music as loud as the two hosts. Next time, keep the voice and the music on separate tracks in your editor, and save a copy without the music too: then you can swap the music later without removing anything.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes, for the first minute of each file, 3 times a day, with no sign-up. For longer files, see pricing.
Does it keep my voice exactly?
Yes. It filters the music out and adds nothing, so your voice isn't rebuilt or replaced: it's still your recording, only without the music.
What about sound effects?
They go too. It keeps only voices, so footsteps, engines, applause, and the room's ambience go along with the music. If you still have the editing project, muting the music track there keeps the effects.
Can it remove copyrighted music so my video isn't claimed?
It can take the music out of your file's sound, so only the voice is left. But each platform decides claims with its own checks, and Audo can't promise what any of them will do.
Is it a music remover for songs too?
No. It keeps voices, and singing is a voice, so it's made for speech over music, not for songs. To pull the vocals or the instruments out of a song, use a vocal remover.
Which videos and audio files work?
Videos in MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, and audio in WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, Opus, WebM, AIFF. You get the same kind of file back. For the voice on its own as an MP3 or WAV, pick one under Save as in More options.
Can I keep the music, only quieter?
Yes. Move the slider toward Keep some background, and some of the music stays under the voice, quieter. To put new music under it instead, Mix audio layers a track under the voice and can lower it while people talk.
