Frequently asked questions
Can I use Youka Live offline?+
Yes. Stem separation runs locally on your Mac. After installation, normal playback processing works without an internet connection and does not upload your music.
Is Youka Live a subscription?+
No. Youka Live is a $79 single-payment lifetime license for the current app and model, with no monthly or annual subscription. The free trial includes 30 minutes of Live separation, does not expire by date, and requires no card.
How many devices can I use?+
One lifetime license can be activated on up to two devices.
What do future model upgrades cost?+
Your $79 lifetime license keeps working with the current model. If a new model is released in the future, you can choose to upgrade it for a one-time $29.99 payment.
Does it work with every macOS app?+
Youka Live captures system audio, so it works with browsers like Chrome and Safari, media players like QuickTime, VLC, or the Music app playing your own files, and any other app that plays through your Mac's audio output.
How much processing delay should I expect?+
The current model adds approximately three seconds before separated audio is heard. Youka Live is continuous, but it is not a zero-latency stage-monitoring tool.
Why is Bluetooth not recommended?+
Bluetooth headphones and speakers can add their own noticeable output latency. Built-in speakers or wired audio provide the most predictable experience.
Can I save or export the separated stems?+
No. Youka Live is for controlling audio while it plays. Use the main Youka creation products when you need saved files or video exports.
Is there a Windows or mobile version?+
Not yet. This release is available only for Macs running macOS 15.6 or later.
