Audio and background music separator

An audio and background music separator is most useful when you think like an editor: separate first, mix second. If you’re working on dialogue (videos, interviews, lessons), this approach usually beats pure EQ because you’re not guessing which frequencies belong to speech.

The “separator mindset” (simple version)

• Step 1: Split voice and music

• Step 2: Mix them back together with voice in front

• Step 3: Export clean versions you can reuse

What to export (so you don’t redo work)

After separation, export:

• Voice-only track (for subtitles/transcripts)

• Voice-first mix (for publish)

• Optional: music-only bed (for re-layering later)

Trim first with Audio Cutter, then separate with AI music separator.

Labeling tips that save your future self

Use a consistent naming style:

• project_scene01_voice.wav

• project_scene01_mix_voicefirst.wav

• project_scene01_musicbed.wav

For remove vs reduce and where separation fits, use: background music remover for clear voice audio.
