  1. 1

    Keep Speech / Music / SFX selected

    Leave Speech / Music / SFX on this page. The dialogue music and effects separator stays selected. A later mode change would send the clip to a different job.

  2. 2

    Upload a video mix or a radio clip

    Drop an audio file. Use MP3, WAV, M4A, or FLAC. A finished soundtrack is the usual input. The job reads audio only on this page.

  3. 3

    Solo each layer

    Open the player. Use this pass to isolate dialogue on speech, isolate music bed on music, and extract sound effects on effects. Mute any layer for a rough cut.

Who it is for

Who can benefit

Editors, podcasters, and game-audio students run the dialogue music and effects separator for three named layers. Each file is a fader you can ride on its own.

Video editors

Lift dialogue and keep a music bed on its file. Isolate dialogue for a caption pass. Ride effects on the cut. The three DME files drop into a timeline.

Podcasters

Pull speech from a mixed clip. Mute music under talk. Keep a sting on effects. The remainder of the show sits on the other two files.

Game audio students

Study effects on their own stem. Hear a reload or a footstep after you extract sound effects. Compare the music bed on the music file.

Documentary editors

Lift speech, music, or SFX into a timeline. Mute one layer and keep the rest. Preview all three files before a cut.

What people say

I muted music under talk. The dialogue music and effects separator wrote three DME files. Speech stayed clear enough for a caption pass.

I used the online DME separator to isolate dialogue on a radio clip. Speech came off the bed clean enough for a rough cut.

I ran extract sound effects for a Foley pass. Effects sat on their own file. I could isolate music bed on the music stem too.
