Tutorial

How to use it

A walkthrough of installing, separating, mixing and exporting.

Features

A simple unmixer for a messy mix

Built for filmmakers, editors and sound people who got one finished audio track and need it in pieces.

Voices, music, effects

Automatic separation into stems. Everything left over is kept too, so the tracks always add back up to your original.

Live mixer

Mute, solo and set the volume of each track while the video plays. Preview before you export anything.

Split voices

Pull the Voices track apart into individual speakers, so you can work on one person at a time.

Effects per track

EQ, filters, ring mod, chorus, distortion, delay, reverb, and presets like Robot Voice, Old Radio, Telephone and Cave. Non-destructive.

Export what you need

Export the current mix, a video with the new mix put back in, or every stem as its own file.

Your choice of engine

Run locally on your own computer, or use a cloud engine. The app checks your hardware and only shows what can run.

MCP support New · Beta

Control it from AI apps that support MCP: Claude Desktop, the ChatGPT desktop app and Codex. Just ask: "remove the music from my video." Originals are never changed.
Setup instructions

How it works

Four steps

  1. Drop in a fileAny audio or video file. Video files get a synced preview above the mixer.
  2. Pick an engine and press SeparateThe default runs on your computer. Cloud engines need a free MVSEP token, and SAM Audio needs an NVIDIA GPU and Hugging Face access.
  3. Mix itMute the music, solo the dialogue, turn the effects down, or add a radio filter to a voice. Hit Play to hear it live.
  4. ExportSave the mix, a video with the new audio, or all the stems.

Seeing a security warning? That's expected.

Un-Mix-a-Lot is free and new, and I haven't paid for the code-signing certificates that remove these warnings. The code is open source, so you can read all of it on GitHub.

Windows: when you run the installer, Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Mac: if macOS says it can't verify the app, right-click (or Control-click) the installer, choose Open, then click Open again. If it still blocks you, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

Your privacy: your audio stays on your computer unless you choose the MVSEP cloud option. The app also checks GitHub once a day for updates, and you can turn that off in Settings.

All releases and older versions

For ComfyUI users

ComfyUI nodesBeta

Use Un-Mix-a-Lot inside ComfyUI. Three nodes split audio into voices, music and effects, split voices into one track per speaker, and mix the pieces back together. This is an early version, tested on a few setups. Bug reports are welcome.

Voices / Music / Effects

Splits any audio into three tracks.

Split voices (optional)

One track per speaker. Works best with different people or AI voices. A text box lets you fix mistakes.

Mix stems

Puts the pieces back together. Set a part's volume to 0 to remove it.

How to install

In ComfyUI-Manager, choose Install via Git URL and paste the repo address, then restart ComfyUI. Or clone it into ComfyUI/custom_nodes.

The first run downloads a 447 MB model, and after that it works offline. It uses the PyTorch that ComfyUI already has.

FAQ

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. No ads, no account, no subscription. The only possible cost is if you choose a cloud engine, where MVSEP has its own free tier and its own limits.

Does my audio leave my computer?

Not with the local engines (BandIt v2 and SAM Audio). The cloud engines upload your file to MVSEP to be processed. Keep that in mind for private or unreleased material.

What's the catch with SAM Audio?

SAM Audio is Meta's model. Its weights are gated: you need a free Hugging Face account and approval from Meta for each model size. Un-Mix-a-Lot does not include the model, you download it yourself under Meta's license. You also need an NVIDIA GPU with plenty of VRAM. If you don't have one, the app hides it and you can use the other engines.

Why is the output mono?

The separation models work on mono 48 kHz audio, so stereo files are downmixed first and exports are mono.

Can I use the separated audio commercially?

Un-Mix-a-Lot's own code is MIT licensed, but the models and services it can call have their own terms (see Licenses and credits below). You are responsible for having the rights to the audio you process and for following each model's license.

Something broke. Where do I report it?

Open an issue on the GitHub page. This is a free project, so there is no guaranteed support or response time.
