How it works

Clean up a live concert recording

1Step 1

Upload the live audio

Start with a concert, recital, rehearsal or event recording that includes the performance and its audience.

2Step 2

Separate audience sounds

Process the recording to create a performance-focused output and a separate audience layer.

3Step 3

Choose the atmosphere to keep

Compare the cleaned audio with the original. Leave the audience muted or blend some atmosphere back in before downloading.

What you can do

Keep the performance, control the crowd

A focused tool for live-recording cleanup, with separate listening control over the estimated audience layer.

Remove applause from audio

Reduce clapping around an entrance, ending or quiet passage without manually cutting the whole section. Listen across those transitions to check how the performance carries through.

Reduce cheering and audience interruptions

Target the crowd layer that competes with a live performance, including cheers, whistles and other audience sounds. Separation gives you more control than lowering the entire recording.

Keep some of the live atmosphere

The removed audience audio remains available as a separate layer. Blend it back at a lower level when you want a quieter crowd while preserving the feeling of a live room.

Download a performance-focused mix

Export the cleaned result as MP3 or WAV for listening, rehearsal notes or a video edit. You can also download the audience layer to inspect what was removed.

Upload the live audio and start audience separation. The result includes a performance-focused track and an audience track. Listen with the crowd layer muted, or add it back at a lower level before exporting.

The tool aims to separate applause from the rest of the recording, so you can lower that layer instead of deleting the whole passage. Applause that overlaps strongly with drums or other transient sounds can be harder to remove cleanly.

The process targets audience sounds such as applause, cheering, whistles and laughter in live recordings. How much it removes depends on how those sounds overlap with the performance.

No. Audience separation is a specific task. It does not guarantee removal of room reverberation, electrical hum, wind or microphone distortion. For a recording whose main problem is reflected sound, use Reverb Remover.

Yes. The audience layer is available in the mixer. Leave it muted for a more isolated performance, or raise it gradually to keep the level of audience presence that suits your edit.

No. It works on audience sounds already present in the recording you upload. It does not generate applause, simulated crowds or stadium sound effects.

Audience removal cannot recover peaks that were lost to clipping, and it may leave artifacts in heavily distorted audio. Start with the best available recording and compare both quiet and loud sections before keeping the result.

Yes. Preview and download the returned layers as MP3 or WAV, or export a mix with your chosen audience level. If you are editing a video, bring the audio output back into your video project.
