What is AudioStrip
AudioStrip is a UK-based AI platform that uses Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning — trained on large datasets of music — to separate vocals from backing music in audio files. It integrates the results of the MDX-Net and Demucs libraries, making these advanced AI models accessible to music producers and hobbyists without requiring any technical expertise. Users simply upload an audio file, choose from multiple separation algorithms, and download the isolated stems.
The tool supports a wide range of audio formats including MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, and WMA. A free tier provides basic vocal isolation with standard MP3 output, while a Premium plan unlocks unlimited uploads, higher-quality WAV and FLAC output, larger file sizes, batch processing, and faster processing speeds. AudioStrip is operated by AudioStrip Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, and has an active research collaboration with the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary University of London.
Reviewers and users on Reddit and SaaSHub have praised AudioStrip for its ease of use and quality results, with one MusicTech review ranking it among the top three tools for vocal separation quality alongside Lalal.ai and Gaudio Studio. The platform is designed to democratise music production by removing the need for expensive software or advanced technical skills.

What makes AudioStrip unique
AudioStrip differentiates itself by combining multiple state-of-the-art open-source AI libraries (MDX-Net and Demucs) in a single browser-based interface, letting users switch between algorithms to find the best result for a given track — without installing any software. It also has an active academic research partnership with the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary University of London, positioning it as a research-backed tool rather than a purely commercial product.
