In video production, audio often plays a supporting role, yet its quality profoundly impacts viewer engagement and content compliance. Traditional workflows struggle with mixed audio tracks, bleed, and ambient noise, making tasks like isolating and boosting dialogue, removing background noise, or extracting music for rights management cumbersome. This session introduces how AI-powered audio separation can transform A/V workflows. By deconstructing complex audio into distinct components—dialogue, music, effects, and ambient sounds—creators can: Enhance clarity by isolating and boosting dialogue Remove or replace music to ensure copyright compliance Reduce background noise for cleaner sound Create immersive environments through spatial audio design We'll delve into the technical challenges of source separation, share insights on training models to distinguish audio elements in diverse conditions, and demonstrate real-world applications that improve accessibility, localization, immersive content, copyright compliance, and content personalization. This session is ideal for audio and video technologists working in video, audio AI, accessibility, streaming, or multimedia tooling. Whether you're building tools for creators or exploring ways to make content more discoverable and usable, this talk will demonstrate how AudioShake is helping the world make better use of its sound.
