AudioShake made its name with AI-powered stem-separation technology. Now it\u2019s putting it to use for a new purpose: detecting copyrighted music in live and social video \u2013\u00a0and removing it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is aimed at broadcasters, sports leagues and other media creators who are broadcasting events live or creating video for social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to AudioShake, they \u201croutinely capture licensed songs in arenas, locker rooms, events, and public spaces \u2013 triggering copyright claims that can result in financial penalties, blocked global feeds, or fully muted audio\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n That\u2019s what the company\u2019s new tool aims to avoid, identifying music in real-time and then automatically removing it, without losing \u201cdialogue, crowd noise, effects, and other ambient sound\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ve helped teams clean up archival footage, prep assets for international distribution, and meet the demands of social content at scale,\u201d said CEO Jessica Powell on AudioShake\u2019s expansion of its services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow, with real-time capabilities, we\u2019re unlocking entirely new use cases \u2013 from mobile apps and on-the-fly editing, to live broadcast cleanup and programmatic compliance checks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n The launch follows AudioShake\u2019s $14m funding round in early October<\/a>, with the startup having grown to an 18-strong team since its launch in 2021.<\/p>\n
