The company's denoising software, which has been in development for two years, automatically removes noise like hums and hisses, with the goal of producing studio-quality results on songs, single-instrument tracks, and field recordings. Tape It is also planning to license the technology to vendors in the future. The company, which has offices in Berlin, London, Los Angeles, and Stockholm, has so far been bootstrapping but is now considering raising funds.
Key takeaways:
- Tape It, a startup founded by musicians, has introduced an AI-powered noise reduction algorithm that can work on any audio, not just speech. The technology will be integrated into the company's flagship app and is also planned to be licensed to vendors in the future.
- The company's initial focus was an iOS recording app for musicians that could automatically detect the instrument and annotate the recording. The app has gained around 10,000 monthly active users.
- The new denoising software automatically removes noise like hums and hisses with the aim of producing studio-quality results on songs, single-instrument tracks, and field recordings. The company plans to present its work at the AES conference.
- Despite having potential customers and offers of funding, the company has chosen to bootstrap so far. However, they are now considering raising funds due to the pace of the AI market.
