isolate_audio removes background music and instrumentation from a mixed recording, leaving a clean vocal track behind. It works on any audio clip — not just Suno-generated tracks — which makes it the general-purpose tool for pulling a usable voice out of noisy source audio.
This is distinct from split-a-song-into-stems (separate_music_vocals), which specifically works on tracks generated in-app via generate_music and needs a taskId/audioId rather than a raw audio_url.

Isolate/extract vocals from an audio clip (vocal isolation), removing background music/instrumentation. Use when the user wants a clean vocal track from a mixed recording.
What to tell the agent
Versely's agent maps this plain-English request directly onto isolate_audio. You don't need to know the parameter names — just describe what you want.
“Isolate the vocals from this audio clip and remove the background music.”
How it works
1. Supply the mixed recording
Any audio_url with a mixed vocal-plus-music recording works.
2. Run isolate_audio
The tool separates out the background music and instrumentation.
3. Get the clean track back
You get an isolated vocal track you can reuse for narration, dubbing prep, or a cleaner mix.
4. Reattach if needed
Use attach_audio_to_video to put the cleaned vocal track back onto a video.
What it costs
Billed per audio clip processed. Ask the agent for estimate_cost before running it on a long file.
The formula behind that number: What does a finished 30-second AI ad cost end to end? — sums four unrelated meters, so no single rate predicts the total.
Limits & things to know
- Works on any mixed audio_url — not limited to Versely-generated tracks (unlike separate_music_vocals, which needs a prior generate_music taskId/audioId).
- Separation quality depends on how the original was mixed — heavily layered or low-quality source audio isolates less cleanly.
Who uses this
- Cleaning up a recording with unwanted background music before re-editing
- Prepping a clean vocal for dubbing or translation
- Extracting dialogue from footage with a loud music bed
- Pulling an a cappella from a full mix
Frequently asked questions
Does this work on any audio file, or just Versely-generated ones?+
Any audio_url — it's a general-purpose vocal isolation tool, unlike separate_music_vocals which only works on a previously generate_music-created Suno track.
What do I get back?+
A clean vocal track with the background music and instrumentation removed.
How clean is the separation?+
It depends on the source mix — cleanly mixed recordings separate best; heavily layered or low-quality audio will isolate less perfectly.
