Individual skill
audioshake-stem-separation
Operate AudioShake's cloud source-separation service (developer.audioshake.ai) to split a recording into stems. Use when a task involves isolating vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, keys, strings, or winds from music; separating dialogue / music / effects (DME) for film-TV post-production, localization, and dubbing; splitting a mixed recording into one stem per speaker; lyric transcription or word-level alignment; music detection/identification; or speech denoise/dereverb. Covers the Tasks API job lifecycle (assets, targets, formats, polling vs webhooks, credits, limits), choosing which stem targets a production actually needs, reviewing separated stems for bleed / artifacts / transient smearing / phase problems and repairing them, the rights and consent questions raised by separating copyrighted or third-party recordings, and the decision boundary for when a local open model such as Demucs is the better route than the API. Not for generating or synthesizing new audio, mixing, or mastering.

# AudioShake stem separation
AudioShake is a hosted audio **source-separation** service: it takes one mixed recording and returns isolated component tracks ("stems"). It does not generate, synthesize, mix, or master audio — it decomposes an existing mix. This skill covers driving its developer API, choosing the right separation targets for a production job, judging and repairing the resulting stems, the rights questions that separation raises, and when to reach for a local open model instead.
All API facts below were verified against `developer.audioshake.ai` on **2026-07-10**. Endpoints, model names, credit rates, and limits are volatile — re-check the live `models` / `billing` / `rate-limits` reference pages and the OpenAPI spec (`https://developer.audioshake.ai/api-reference/openapi.json`) before relying on a specific number in production.
## When this skill applies
Use it when the job is to *pull apart* a recording:
- **Music stems** — isolate vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, keys, strings, or winds for remixing, karaoke, sampling, sync, immersive/Atmos re-authoring, or practice/minus-one tracks.
- **Dialogue / Music / Effects (DME)** — split a film, TV, or podcast mix into clean dialogue, a music+effects bed, or an effects-only bed for localization, foreign-language dubbing, M&E (music-and-effects) deliverables, or archival restoration where the original stems are lost.
- **Multi-speaker** — separate an interview, panel, meeting, or overlapping-dialogue recording into one stem per speaker.
- **Lyric transcription / alignment** — line-level lyric transcripts or word-level karaoke timing.
