In 2024, AudioShake announced it was one of four companies accepted into Disney Accelerator’s and announced the early fruits of our embedded time working with Disney and its other segments. In addition to expanding our deal with Disney Music Group, we explored collaborations with Walt Disney Studios, ABC Owned Television Stations, ESPN, Star India, and other segments across the company. At Disney Accelerator’s Demo Day, we showcased how these segments have harnessed our sound separation technology and how they might explore it in the future.

AudioShake’s groundbreaking advancements in sound separation and lyric transcription are making it possible for DMG to unlock new listening and fan engagement experiences for the legendary Disney Music catalog. From the earliest recordings of Mickey Mouse through to contemporary classics across a wide range of genres, DMG is renowned for its iconic song recordings.

Under the new agreement, DMG is expanding its use of AudioShake’s instrument stem separation technology to open up recordings that don’t have stems to these new uses, to the benefit of artists, songwriters, and fans alike.

The deal also enables DMG to utilize AudioShake’s lyric transcription tool, which allows for quick transcription of a track’s lyrics—dramatically reducing the amount of time spent on transcribing and revising lyrics before they are distributed to streaming platforms. With automated transcription, DMG can strengthen the metadata of its catalog, take advantage of more powerful sync searches, and expand formats such as lyric videos.
