Telos Alliance has partnered with AudioShake to add AI-powered source separation to its Minnetonka Audio AudioTools Server, enabling broadcasters and media companies to separate dialogue, music and sound effects from finished program audio.
Available as the new AudioTools Source Separation by AudioShake subscription module, the technology allows users to create separate dialogue, music and effects stems from completed mixes. Those assets can then support workflows such as dubbing, localization, dialogue enhancement, music replacement, rights management and remixing. The module can also generate clean music-and-effects tracks for alternate-language versions and new distribution platforms.
For broadcasters and content owners, the technology addresses a common production challenge: Adapting legacy content when the original multitrack sessions are unavailable or incomplete. By separating finished audio into its component parts, organizations can improve dialogue intelligibility, replace or remove licensed music, isolate effects for editorial work and prepare archive material for new distribution opportunities.
“Content owners are sitting on enormous libraries of finished programming, but those assets are not always ready for the way media is distributed today,” argued Markus Hintz, vice president of business development at Telos Alliance. “AudioShake has quickly become one of the companies defining what AI audio separation can do for media professionals, turning finished mixes into practical, usable assets for modern production and distribution workflows. By bringing their industry-leading source separation into AudioTools Server, we are giving our clients a practical way to adapt existing content for new languages, new rights requirements and new delivery platforms, all within an automated workflow they already know,” he said.
The new module integrates with existing AudioTools Server capabilities, allowing broadcasters to combine source separation with automated loudness control, quality control, transcoding, language processing and file delivery workflows.
“We provide studios, distributors and broadcasters with greater control over their audio, opening up downstream opportunities for captioning, dubbing, replacing or removing licensed music, redistribution and archives,” claimed Jessica Powell, chief executive officer and co-founder of AudioShake. “Telos has spent decades building the audio infrastructure that broadcast runs on, which makes it the right place to put separation to work. We’re excited to bring sound separation and the time and revenue opportunities it unlocks into the workflows of its customers everywhere,” she said.
