Credits
Pay once, per heavy job
Most of AudioForges runs on cheap CPU processing and is free and unlimited — that never changes. A few jobs need a GPU and cost real money per run, so those take credits — most one credit each, a few a little more.
- No subscription
- Never expires
- Refunded if a run fails
What you get
What each job costs
Every GPU-backed job is priced by the work behind it. Most are one credit; a couple do more for a single result and cost more.
- 1 credit
- Studio Quality separationCleaner vocals and instrumental, or a full four-stem split, from a heavier model. Up to 10 minutes. Returns WAV, full quality, no watermark.
- 1 credit
- High-accuracy MIDICloser note detection on melodies, vocals and guitar, and a track per instrument on a full mix. Returns MIDI.
- 1 credit
- TranscriptionAudio, video or a YouTube link, turned into text.
- 3 credits
- Audio to sheet musicA recording engraved into readable notation — PDF, MusicXML, MIDI and SVG. A multi-stage GPU-plus-engraving job with a higher-value output, which is why it's three rather than one.
A sheet-music song is 3 credits, so the packs above are roughly 3, 10 and 33 songs.
- Source
- An audio file, or a YouTube link
- Files back
- Full quality, no watermark, no playback limit
- Turnaround
- Usually one to two minutes
- If it fails
- Every credit comes straight back, without you asking
Same track, same bar, matched levels. Switch while it's playing — it stays at the same point.
How this differs
Credits, not a subscription
Most tools in this category sell monthly minutes. If you don't use them they're gone, and the charge repeats whether or not you opened the site.
