iZotope Photon – AI Stem Separation & Noise Reduction
iZotope Photon is a standalone application and ARA2 plugin designed for AI-powered stem separation and audio cleanup. It uses 12 custom-trained machine learning models that run entirely on your local GPU, delivering fast, high-quality results with no cloud uploads, no file size limits, and no interruptions.
What Photon Does
Photon splits finished mixes and recordings into clean, editable stems and cleans up noisy audio in one workflow. Drop in a song, drum track, interview, or video file, select a model, and export stems or cleaned audio. Everything processes locally on your computer, so sensitive or embargoed material never leaves your machine.
