What is LALAL.AI?
LALAL.AI is an AI audio separation service that splits songs and video soundtracks into stems such as vocals, instrumental, drums, bass, guitars, piano, synth, strings and wind. It runs on the web, desktop, iOS and Android, with a VST plugin and API, and also offers voice cleaning and voice cloning.
Getting a clean acapella or backing track used to require the original multitrack session. This service uses AI models, now in their sixth generation, to separate a finished stereo mix into individual parts, and adds tools for noise, echo and reverb removal. You preview results free before paying, and paid plans process unlimited minutes in a relaxed queue.
