VST3 format for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Processes all standard audio formats supported by your DAW (like WAV, MP3, FLAC, and more).
LALAL.AI VST plugin works with any DAW that supports VST3. Tested successfully in Ableton Live, Reaper, and VST3-enabled versions of Audacity. Always use the latest version of your DAW for best results.
No, Pro Tools requires AAX format, while our plugin provides VST3 as the main format and AU (Audio Units) as a beta. We’re actively considering AAX support for future updates.
After loading an audio track into your DAW and inserting the VST plugin on it, follow these steps:
Activation requires only one-time setup and enables full offline use afterward, with occasional internet connection for subscription validation. The license is node-locked to a single machine.
Verify VST3 folder paths are correctly set in DAW preferences, perform a plugin rescan, ensure 64-bit compatibility, and update your DAW to the latest version.
The plugin runs on Lyra, LALAL.AI’s local processing model built specifically for on-device stem separation. Unlike the cloud models (Andromeda, Perseus, Orion), Lyra processes audio entirely on your machine, no uploads required.
Lyra is optimized for speed and local processing, which means it makes different trade-offs than our cloud models (Andromeda, Perseus, and Orion). For most work the output is good, but for final mixes, pre-release mastering, or complex material, the cloud models will give you better results. A practical approach is to use Lyra for experimentation and drafts, then switch to a cloud model for the final version.
LALAL.AI VST plugin is available with a Pro subscription. You can choose monthly billing at $19.99 per month or annual billing at $15 per month ($180 billed annually). Both options include 250 Fast Queue minutes per month and unlimited minutes in the Relaxed Queue.
No free trial or demo is available. Test the full functionality with our Pro Month Plan subscription, a short-term option perfect for evaluating workflow fit without long-term commitment.
No, the plugin requires an active subscription for audio processing. If your subscription is inactive, expired, or unpaid, processing functionality won’t be available.
Yes, you can use the plugin for commercial projects, including professional audio production and other commercial creative work, as long as your use complies with the license terms.
You can activate the plugin on up to three workstations, as long as they are under the control of the same user. The account and activations are personal and cannot be shared with other users.
The license allows local audio processing within a DAW on up to three workstations, along with royalty-free commercial use of the resulting outputs for studio production, DJ performances, and advertising.
Strictly prohibited uses include, but are not limited to, server or SaaS applications for processing third-party audio, insertion into 24/7 broadcast chains, reverse engineering, and OEM embedding.
