Prepare Music Catalogs for Sync Licensing with AI Stem Separation

Music supervisors, publishers, labels, and rights holders need flexible assets to maximize licensing opportunities. AudioShake generates instrumental versions, vocal stems, lyrics, and other licensing-ready assets from finished recordings, helping catalog owners prepare music for film, television, advertising, gaming, and brand partnerships.

Create Licensing-Ready Assets from Existing Recordings

Many sync opportunities require alternate versions, instrumentals, clean edits, stems, or lyric assets that may not exist for older recordings. AudioShake helps rights holders unlock new licensing opportunities by generating the assets needed for music placement without requiring original multitrack sessions.

Customer Story
“We had to move swiftly and create stems of a song originally produced in the 70's. We didn't have the original project files, but fortunately, AudioShake quickly created stems for us. It was a huge win for our team.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AudioShake prepare an entire catalog for licensing at once?
Yes. The API supports high-volume, automated processing, so rights holders can batch-generate instrumentals, vocal stems, and supporting assets across a full catalog — turning a static library into a sync-ready one without processing tracks one at a time.

How fast can AudioShake turn around stems for a sync deal?
Separation is automated and runs through the API, so stems for a pitch or a closing deal can be produced quickly rather than waiting on a label stem request or a re-recording. Sync teams have used this to hit tight trailer and placement deadlines on decades-old recordings.

Can AudioShake create clean edits or alternate versions for a placement?
Yes. With separated stems, teams can produce instrumental-only versions, vocal-forward edits, or stripped-back arrangements to fit a scene — alternate versions that a placement often requires but that were never created for older catalog tracks.

What assets do music supervisors need, and can AudioShake produce them?
Sync work typically calls for instrumentals, clean vocal-up versions, and individual stems so an editor can tailor a cue to picture. AudioShake generates all of these from the finished master, so a track can be pitched and delivered even when the original session files don't exist.

How does AudioShake support sync licensing workflows?
AudioShake supports sync licensing by producing clean instrumental and vocal stems from fully mixed recordings, making catalog tracks available for sync even when original session files no longer exist. Sync licensing requires instrumental versions, clean vocal tracks, and often individual instrument stems for music supervisors to evaluate and edit. AudioShake extracts all of these from the finished master, opening catalog recordings to sync opportunities that would otherwise be blocked by the absence of original multitracks. Legacy and archival material can be licensed for sync without returning to the original production.
