Remove soundtrack from video
Remove soundtrack from video is usually step one in a voiceover replacement: you want the old bed low enough that the new VO feels clean.
If you’re also trying to remove background music from video and remove music from video but keep voice, the same rule applies: separate first, then rebuild.
The goal isn’t “mute everything”
For voiceover edits, you typically want:
dialogue (or original production audio) preserved
room tone/ambience not destroyed
old soundtrack reduced so it won’t clash with the new VO or new music
A totally silent background can feel fake—especially on interviews.
A practical voiceover workflow
Step 1: Quick separation pass
Use Music Separation to split and preview fast.
If the result needs more control, switch to:
AI Music Separator for better balancing options.
Step 2: Build a VO-ready base
Keep the dialogue/production track
Bring the old soundtrack down (or remove it if it’s cleanly separable)
Preserve a little room tone so the VO doesn’t sound “cut in”
Step 3: Add your replacement layer
New VO (center)
New music bed (quiet, consistent)
Light ducking so speech stays on top
