Remove sound effects from TV audio and keep the music

Yes. The Remove SFX from TV Shows pipeline separates the music-focused stem from the noise/effects stem. That means you can download the isolated effects layer, the cleaner music layer, or both.

For best results, select the section where the effect is most audible in Studio and describe the target layer, for example "dialog," "foley," "laughter," or "music with vocals."

EQ removes frequency ranges, not sources. In TV and movie audio, dialog, foley, crowd reactions, and music often overlap in the same frequency bands, so EQ can damage the music while leaving the effect audible.

SAM Audio uses prompt-based source separation. Use Remove SFX from TV Shows when you want a music-focused stem plus a separate effects/noise stem.

Yes. Use a custom prompt such as "music with vocals," "instruments only," or the ambience you want to isolate. Neural Analog creates a cleaner music-focused stem and routes the ambience or noise layer to a separate stem.

For prompt-based cleanup, start from SAM Audio Online or a focused page such as Remove SFX from TV Shows.

To isolate a specific instrument, open SAM Audio Online, choose the custom prompt option, and describe the sound you want to isolate. Prompts such as "saxophone," "synthesizer," or "electric guitar" create a matching stem and a stem containing the rest of the mix.

Sounds that overlap heavily can bleed between stems. For a difficult section, open the track in Studio and mark the time span where the target sound is easiest to hear. You can start from SAM Audio Online or the Universal Stem Splitter.

Use Mid/Side processing when stereo width, room ambience, or wide instruments matter to the recording. It processes the center and side information separately, which can preserve width during restoration or cleanup.

Use mono only when you intentionally want a centered output or faster processing. Start with Audio Restoration when you need to clean up a stereo source.

Processing time depends on the operation, selected model, input length, and queue load. Short jobs often finish in about a minute, while long tracks, batch jobs, and heavier models such as SAM Audio Large or UniverSR can take several minutes or more.

You can leave the page and come back later. Finished imports, restorations, masters, and stems stay in Studio, where you can reopen the project and download the result.

Click the Export button, then choose Download all current stems.

This downloads the stems currently visible in your project, using whatever version is selected for each stem. For example, if your vocal stem is set to a restored version and your bass stem is set to the original version, the export will include those current versions.

To change what gets exported, first select the version you want on each stem waveform, then click Export again.

If you need to create stems first, use the Universal Stem Splitter or open the project in Studio.
