Sample comparison studio

Compare the sample with music and without music. The picture and voice stay the same.

Remove, reduce or replace the music?

Removing background music changes the soundtrack, not just the overall listening volume. Choose removal when you want narration without the score. If the music still fits but competes with speech, compare reduction instead. When preparing a new soundtrack, first decide which original sounds must remain. This page is the starting point for that choice; its prepared tracks demonstrate the contrast, not source separation on your recording.

Use cases

Narration without a score

Compare the complete sample without music before deciding whether removal suits the message.

Music is too prominent

If you still want the music, continue to the music-reduction page rather than removing it entirely.

Preparing a new soundtrack

Decide whether you need to inspect speech or review a video result before selecting replacement music elsewhere.

FAQ

Before you begin

Is music removal the same as muting a video?+

No. Muting everything also removes speech. This prepared comparison keeps narration while removing the music layer.

Should I remove music or lower it?+

Compare both approaches: removal leaves no background music; reduction keeps music at a lower level. Use the related reduction page to hear the latter.

Which page should I use next?+

Choose Keep Vocals to focus on spoken words, or the video-result page to inspect and save the prepared MP4. Both pages use prepared samples, but offer different ways to compare them.

Can this page remove music from my own file?+

No. It offers prepared local examples only. Upload and a source-separation model are not connected.
