AI music, something grating?
by VoltaHonenuki by Volta detects and removes only the chronic metallic ring of AI-generated music.

EXAMPLE ANALYSIS — sample figures
Hear what we removed. And everything we kept.
CLEAN — bones removed
This is what AI was actually leaving in the track — stray clings, metallic ring, static crackle. Volta removes them completely.
We do not overwrite the whole mix. Only detected peaks are processed.
01
We do not suppress the entire high end
Narrow-band notch attenuation is applied only around detected peaks.
02
Drum attacks and cymbals are protected
Drums use a lower high-frequency attenuation cap, with less attenuation around transients.
03
You can compare the result directly
Compare the original, processed signal, and removed component at the same playback position.
WHY HONENUKI
What makes it different
Other tools pull the whole top end down and then try to restore it — losing real music along the way. honenuki removes only the offending components.
Triple filter
Three different kinds of AI artifacts — metallic spikes, high-frequency hiss, sibilance — each removed by its own dedicated filter.
Saturator · De-esser · Air included
Removal is not the end. Saturation and Air bring back texture and brightness; the de-esser finishes the job.
STUDIO
It doesn't finish on its own. Trust your ears and tune the details yourself.
Playback and monitoring
Compare processed, original, and residual at the same position. Watch position and level while you listen.
Treatment settings
Set how much to remove with Strength, De-ess, and Hiss, then restore texture and top end with Saturation and Air.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does honenuki detect AI-generated music?
It finds the telltale traces (the metallic ring) that AI generators leave in music. Upload stems, get an AI verdict first, then only those traces are removed.
Which AI music generators does it work with?
Yes. Stems from Suno, Udio, Mureka, and other major AI music generators are all supported. Songs from similar generators clean up the same way.
Is human-recorded music safe to run through it?
The verdict informs — it never blocks. If your upload looks human-made it is labeled as such, and what to remove (and how much) is always your call. You can compare original, processed, and residual side by side anytime.
Will removing artifacts dull my mix?
No. Only narrow bands around the offending components are removed, and the restore stage protects brightness and detail. The only thing that disappears is the ring.
What file formats are supported?
Upload stems as WAV, MP3, FLAC, or AIFF. Cleaned stems are rendered as WAV and delivered together in a single ZIP.
How much does it cost?
During early access the web app is $0 (regular $6.99/month). The one-time VST purchase is coming soon. Any changes will be announced first.
