Not every take happens in a treated booth. VO gets recorded in home offices, reference audio arrives with music baked in, and the best read of the session has an air conditioner humming underneath it. Traditionally the choice is bad: ship compromised audio, spend hours in restoration software, or re-record and hope the performance survives.
Layer's Audio Cleanup gives you three AI tools for rescuing recordings. Isolate Audio strips background noise and music, leaving clean voice. Remove Noise suppresses background noise while keeping the recording's character. Separate Audio splits out a target sound and its residual — full stem separation. Alongside them, deterministic mixing, trimming, volume, and speed tools handle the everyday edits, so cleanup and prep happen in one place.
Key Capabilities
Isolate Audio Strip background noise and music from a recording, leaving clean, usable voice. The tool for turning a noisy location take or music-backed reference into dialogue you can actually work with.
Remove Noise Suppress background noise — hum, hiss, room tone — while preserving the recording itself. The lighter touch for takes that are almost clean.
Separate Audio Split out a target sound and its residual from a mixed recording. Stem separation lets you extract the element you need or remove the one you don't.
Deterministic Editing Tools Mixing, trimming, volume, and speed adjustments run as predictable, repeatable operations — the routine edits of audio prep without leaving the platform.
One Audio Workspace Cleanup lives alongside Layer's full audio toolkit, powered by leading models including ElevenLabs, so cleaned audio flows straight into voice conversion, cloning, and delivery.
How It Works
Upload the recording Bring in the audio that needs work — a VO take, a location capture, or a mixed track with an element you need to pull out.
Pick the right tool Choose Isolate Audio for clean voice extraction, Remove Noise for background suppression, or Separate Audio for stem separation. Apply trims, volume, mixing, or speed changes as needed.
Export clean audio Review the result, iterate if needed, and export — or feed the cleaned audio directly into Layer's other audio features.
Built for Game Production
VO Pipelines Salvage strong performances recorded in imperfect conditions — remote actor home setups, on-site captures, archival takes — instead of scheduling costly re-records.
Voice Cloning Prep Clean source audio makes better custom voices. Isolate voice from noisy or music-backed samples before training with Layer's Voice Cloning via Reference Sets.
Live-Ops Turnaround When event audio arrives late and rough, cleanup in minutes keeps content on schedule — noise out, levels set, trimmed, and shipped the same day.
Reference and Legacy Audio Pull usable dialogue or a specific sound out of mixed reference tracks and older assets with stem separation, giving past material new production value.
Trusted by 300+ game studios and entertainment brands including Zynga, SciPlay, Huuuge Games, and Machine Zone, Layer makes every recording a usable one.
