Audionamix

Audionamix operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence and audio engineering, specializing in audio source separation technology. The company was established in 2003 by Olivier Attia, who brought his experience from founding Musiwap, a pioneering mobile music distribution platform. Audionamix's core competency lies in its ability to deconstruct a mixed audio track into its constituent elements, such as isolating vocals, separating dialogue from background noise, or extracting individual instruments like drums and bass. This is achieved through proprietary AI and advanced signal processing algorithms.

The company's business model is twofold. Firstly, it provides professional audio services to high-profile clients in the entertainment industry, including major film studios, television networks, and music labels. This division has contributed to GRAMMY-nominated albums and major motion pictures by performing tasks like creating Music & Effects (M&E) tracks, isolating dialogue for foreign language dubbing, and remastering existing recordings. Secondly, Audionamix packages its technology into software products aimed at audio professionals, producers, and DJs. Products like XTRAX STEMS and the IDC (Instant Dialogue Cleaner) plug-in allow users to perform complex audio separation tasks directly within their workflow. This dual approach of high-touch professional services and scalable software solutions allows the company to address a wide spectrum of the market, from large-scale cinematic productions to individual content creators.

Initially focused on vocal isolation, the company has broadened its technological capabilities to handle a wider range of audio separation needs. A significant milestone was the development of its cloud-based API, enabling other businesses to integrate Audionamix's separation capabilities into their own applications and workflows. The company maintains operations in both Paris, France, and Los Angeles, California, positioning it strategically within key hubs of the global music and film industries.
