Read full descriptionHide full description
Dango AI, a long-standing separation tool highly praised by users in the community for its focus on sound quality, has now launched a mobile version ^_^ Vocal Remover: Separate backing tracks, lead vocals, and back vocals from any audio. Dismiss muddy or incomplete results? Try Dango's WMIR neural network with its AI Defect Restoration module. It not only removes but also "repairs" damaged instrument parts hidden by vocals, restoring crisp, clear sound. Stem Separator: Isolate or remove any instrument from music. Built-in models handle vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, sax, strings, erhu, and more. Our unique "Custom Separation" lets you target any sound using your own audio sample. Lossy Audio Fixer: Restore lossy files (MP3, OGG) to near-lossless quality. Unlike other methods that add artificial hiss, Dango's algorithm genuinely regenerates high-frequency energy and harmonics—perfect for salvaging rare or old recordings. Lossless Pitch: Shift audio pitch without quality loss. Dango triple protection tech keeps audio clear. The exclusive AI Drum Protection keeps drum pitch stable—no tightness when pitching up, no muddiness when pitching down. De-Reverb: Remove reverb and echo from complex recordings without damage. Trained on real acoustic environments, our DDR neural network handles more than just synthetic reverb. De-Live: One-click removal of crowd noise such as cheers, applause, screaming, and audience sing-alongs from live recordings, plus correction of acoustic issues like excessive reverb and low-end rumble caused by poor recording conditions. Restores even the messiest live tracks to a clean, studio-like listening experience. And, enjoy built-in online mixing, audio editing, free pitch shifting, and easy file management and sharing.
