Common questions


Beyond phase cancellation: why AI helps

Traditional vocal removal relies on phase cancellation, which struggles with complex arrangements and center‑panned instruments. AI separation learns vocal characteristics across massive datasets, delivering more natural instrumentals and cleaner vocals, especially on modern productions. You’ll hear fewer “holes” in the mix and better preservation of drums, bass, and keys.
