Pick a lane.

Yes — and it never touches our servers. Audia is a desktop app. When you connect YouTube, the authorisation token is stored locally on your computer (in a file called token.pickle). We physically cannot see your YouTube credentials or your videos. Read the full breakdown on the privacy policy.

Yes. Cancel from your account at any time. You keep access until the end of the billing period you've paid for, and you're not billed again. UK and EU customers get a 14-day cooling-off refund on first purchase.

Standard visualizers (Starter tier) cover the core spectrum and waveform styles. Premium visualizers (Pro and Industry) unlock the full library of 49+ GPU-rendered styles — particles, oscilloscopes, custom palettes, and more. Same quality engine; more variety.

A small "Made with Audia" tag appears in the top right corner of the rendered visualiser. It's subtle — designed not to distract from the music. Industry tier removes it entirely. The watermark doesn't appear on the audio or in the metadata, only the visualiser frame.

Anytime, from inside the app and through the website. Upgrading is immediate — you're billed at the new tier's price for the new period (so if you upgrade to Pro on the last day of the month, you still pay the full $12). Downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle, so you keep what you paid for.

Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel) is supported at launch. Windows is coming shortly after — sign up to the Starter tier and you'll be notified the moment it ships.

No. Audia works with standard YouTube and BeatStars accounts. The Pro and Industry tiers unlock additional batch and visualizer features inside Audia — they don't change what's required on the platforms you're uploading to.

All of them. FL Studio, Ableton, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Reaper, Studio One, Bitwig, GarageBand — anything that can export a WAV or MP3. Audia takes audio files, not project files, so there's no DAW lock-in, no plugin install, and nothing to configure on your DAW side. Whatever you use to make the beat, Audia can take it from there.

Yes. Drop your stems alongside the main beat, and Audia processes and packages them automatically — in the format BeatStars buyers expect when they're licensing for sessions. No manual exporting, folder structuring, or zipping. The stems ship in the same one-click upload as the beat.

Your hands-on time is about 30 seconds per beat with a preset configured — drop the file, hit go. The full upload pipeline (visualizer rendering + YouTube upload + BeatStars upload) runs in the background and takes up to about 3 minutes per beat, depending on the length of the beat and therefore the size of the visualizer file. You don't have to be present for it. Drop the beat and walk away.

Uploads pause until the next billing cycle starts, or you upgrade to a higher tier. The limit resets on the first of the month. You won't be charged overage fees — Audia just stops.
