How to isolate the viola from a recording
The viola is the inner voice of the strings: above it the violins, below it the cellos, and its own range inside both. It is the part a quartet player most needs to hear alone, and the one a recording hides best.
- Add your recording: Drop a WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, FLAC or OGG.
- Press Isolate viola: The recording opens in the tool with the viola extractor already chosen. There is nothing to set.
- Download both: The viola alone, and the recording without it. The second is made in your browser, by taking the extraction away from the file you dropped.

Questions about the viola isolator and remover?
We have answers.
How do I isolate the viola from a song?
Drop the recording on this page and press Isolate viola. The viola is extracted by its own model and comes back alone, in time with the original.
Can I remove the viola from a song?
Yes. The results include the recording without it: the extraction is taken away from your file, in your browser, so what is left is everything else.
Can it isolate the viola in a string quartet?
Yes. Ask for viola alongside violin and cello and each comes back as its own track.
Is it free?
Yes, to start. A free account comes with 120 credits a month, with no card needed to start, and extracting up to eight instruments from a recording is 20. Pro has 2,000 a month.
Can I get the viola part as notes?
Yes. The isolated track can be transcribed to MIDI, or engraved as sheet music.

The middle of the string section
The viola’s top overlaps the violins and its bottom overlaps the cellos. It has its own extractor, but of the four string instruments it is the one with the least register to itself, and the hardest to lift cleanly.
A quartet, instrument by instrument
In a string quartet, ask for violin, viola and cello. Each comes back on a track, and the two violins come back together on theirs.
The inner part as notes
The isolated viola can be transcribed as a single line, which is the quickest way to see what the middle of the harmony was doing.
