Youka Live is a native macOS menu-bar app that continuously separates audio playing on your Mac into four stems: Vocals, Drums, Bass, and Other. Mute a stem or change its level while listening—without uploading the song or preparing a project first.
Youka Live currently requires macOS 15.6 or later. It is separate from the Youka web and desktop apps and does not create or export karaoke files.

​
What you can do

  • Mute or lower vocals for karaoke and song practice
  • Isolate drums or bass while learning a part
  • Change the mix from audio playing in a browser, music player, or another Mac app
  • Turn on Live without choosing a mode or model; Youka Live checks compatibility automatically
  • Process music locally after activation so normal playback does not upload your audio
Youka Live introduces a short playback buffer while it separates the music. The current model adds approximately three seconds of delay, so the app is designed for continuous listening, rehearsal, and karaoke—not zero-latency stage monitoring.
