Frequently asked questions

Will every song separate perfectly?

No. Mixing, compression, noise, and source quality can leave artifacts or change tone.

Is my source uploaded?

No. The current version extracts, separates, and exports audio on device.

What can I import?

Videos from Photos and local audio files. Exact selectable formats depend on iOS and the current app version.

Which mode should I use?

Try Fast mode first, then Fine mode when you want a more careful pass.

Feedback and support

Tell us the source type and device when something goes wrong

Do not email full songs you are not allowed to share. File type, device model, and OS version are usually enough to start troubleshooting.
