- Cut filler words (um, uh, like), stutters, and long silences automatically
- Live A/B preview before you commit, with an adjustable noise-reduction strength dial

4 · Logic Pro plugins, real-time AUv3 (Pro)
Aulio Studio Pro ships two native AUv3 plugins that load right on a track in Logic Pro and GarageBand and clean audio in real time as it plays. They install with the app straight from the Mac App Store, with no separate installer and no system extension, fully sandboxed. No other AI noise tool ships a real-time AUv3 plugin for Logic Pro.
- Aulio Clear: the same AI noise removal as the app, running live on a Logic Pro track insert. Broadband noise, hiss, hum, and background sounds gone while you mix, with an adjustable strength dial.
- Aulio Roomtone: strips the speech and isolates the background noise floor, so you can capture seamless room-tone loops to fill gaps and smooth edits.
- Real-time on the insert chain: automate, A/B, and bounce inside your session, with no offline file-export round-trip.
- Native Apple Silicon, 100% on-device: nothing uploads, no account, works offline.
- Included in Aulio Studio Pro ($99), or add to the $49 app as the Plugin Bundle ($59), or individually (Aulio Clear $39, Aulio Roomtone $29).

What our users say
"Recording a weekly podcast from my home office means fighting my AC, street noise and a neighbor who mows his lawn at the worst possible times. Spent months trying to fix it, Audacity noise gates, Descript also, even paid plugins: nothing felt right, something always got mangled. Aulio Studio cleaned up my worst recordings in seconds and my voice still sounds like me. Listeners started DMing me asking if I upgraded my mic. I didn't. Just switched to Aulio Studio."
"Very simple and straightforward interface. The process is simple and quick and the result is clean as promised. Big like!"
"Honestly, this app has saved me a lot of time and effort when preparing audio materials for lessons. I work in education and often need clear recordings for my students, but background noise was always an issue. With this app, the sound quality is much cleaner, and I can use recordings directly without complicated editing. Even without technical experience, I was able to improve audio quality within minutes. I highly recommend it to any teacher or student who needs clear and professional recordings."
Frequently asked questions
Is Aulio Studio free for Mac?
Aulio Studio includes a free 10-day trial with full access. After that you pick a plan in the app: Aulio Studio at $49 one-time (app only), Aulio Studio Pro at $99 one-time (adds the Aulio Clear and Aulio Roomtone AUv3 plugins for Logic Pro), or a $9.99/month subscription that includes the app and both plugins while active. No hidden fees and no per-minute credits.
How do the Aulio Clear and Aulio Roomtone AUv3 plugins work?
They are native AUv3 (Audio Unit v3) plugins that install with the app from the Mac App Store, with no separate installer. You add them on a track in Logic Pro, GarageBand, or any other AUv3 host. Aulio Clear runs the same on-device AI noise removal in real time as the track plays, with an adjustable strength dial. Aulio Roomtone strips the speech and isolates the background noise floor for seamless room-tone loops. Everything is processed live on your Mac with nothing uploaded. The plugins come with Aulio Studio Pro and the monthly plan, or as add-ons for the app.
Is my audio data kept private?
Yes, completely. Aulio Studio processes everything 100% on your Mac. Your audio and transcripts never leave your device. No server, no uploads, and no cloud processing.
What is the best audio cleaner for Mac in 2026?
Aulio Studio is a top-rated audio cleaner for Mac. It combines AI noise removal, filler word removal (um, uh, like), stutter removal, silence trimming, live reverb and warmth effects, transcription in 99 languages, and batch processing, plus real-time AUv3 plugins for Logic Pro. Everything runs 100% on-device on Apple Silicon for fast, private, offline cleanup. Available as a one-time purchase or a low-cost monthly plan.
How is Aulio Studio different from Audacity or Audition?
One-click AI cleaning and a preview-first workflow built for podcasters and creators, without the deep DAW skills those editors require.
Is Aulio Studio a Hush alternative?
Yes, and it does far more. Hush only removes background noise, with no loudness control or other processing. Aulio Studio adds filler word removal, stutter removal, transient noise removal, long silence trimming, optional reverb/echo/warmth effects with real-time preview, transcription, batch processing, AUv3 plugins for Logic Pro, and full on-device privacy.
Is Aulio Studio an Adobe Podcast alternative?
Yes. Aulio Studio handles everything Adobe Podcast Enhance does, including noise removal, voice clarity, and loudness normalization, plus filler word cutting, transcription, and live effects preview. Everything runs 100% on your Mac, with no Adobe Creative Cloud subscription and a choice of one-time or low-cost monthly pricing.
Is Aulio Studio an Auphonic alternative?
Yes. Unlike Auphonic's cloud workflow, Aulio Studio processes everything 100% on your Mac, and nothing is uploaded. It also adds filler word removal, stutter removal, live effects preview, and transcription that Auphonic does not offer.
Is Aulio Studio a Cleanvoice alternative?
Yes. Aulio Studio offers the same filler word and noise removal but runs natively and entirely on-device on Mac, and it includes transcription and live reverb/echo/warmth preview.
Is Aulio Studio a Descript alternative for Mac?
Yes. Aulio Studio covers the core audio cleanup Descript users rely on: remove background noise, cut filler words (um, uh, like), trim long silences, and export a transcript. The difference is that Aulio Studio runs 100% on-device, so your recordings never leave your Mac. Descript is a full video editor with screen recording; Aulio Studio is purpose-built for audio cleanup and voice quality, which means faster processing and a simpler workflow.
What audio formats does the Mac app support?
Aulio Studio exports M4A, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, and MP3, at sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz and bit depths of 16, 24, or 32-bit. It also processes video formats (MP4, MOV) directly.
How do I remove um and uh from audio on Mac?
Open your recording in Aulio Studio and enable filler word detection. The AI highlights every um, uh, like, and you know, and you review and approve each one before anything is cut. Then export the cleaned file as MP3, WAV, or M4A. The whole workflow runs offline on your Mac.
How do I remove background noise from a video on Mac?
Drop your MP4 or MOV file directly into Aulio Studio. The AI separates the voice from background noise and cleans the audio track. Export the result as a clean audio file or keep it as a video. Everything runs on-device with no upload required.
Does Aulio Studio support transcription?
Yes. Aulio Studio transcribes your audio in 99 languages and exports the transcript as TXT, PDF, or DOC, from the same workflow as your audio cleanup.
What is audio clean AI?
Audio clean AI uses machine learning to separate speech from noise, detect fillers and hesitations, and apply cleanup that fits your voice. Aulio Studio uses audio clean AI on macOS for noise reduction, filler removal, studio-style polish, and optional transcription.
How do I get audio clean for Mac?
Install Aulio Studio from the Mac App Store. It runs on macOS 14 or later, uses on-device AI for noise and fillers, and includes A/B preview and export to MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A.
Does Aulio Studio work on Mac only?
Aulio Studio currently works on Mac (macOS 14.0 and above). An iOS version may come later.
