Getting started

Ampliflare Audio has five tools: Remove noise, Enhance, Cut, Split and Convert. It uses ffmpeg to read and write audio, so you install that once too.

Install

Pick the file for your computer. The dialog lists every file in the newest release, with yours first.

Download

macOS

Open the disk image and drag the app to Applications. Then install ffmpeg with Homebrew: brew install ffmpeg.

Windows

Run the setup file. Then install ffmpeg, for example with winget install ffmpeg.

Linux

Run the install command below, or pick the AppImage, .deb or .rpm for your system. Install ffmpeg from your package manager, like sudo apt install ffmpeg.

Linux install

Run this in a terminal. It needs no sudo.

curl -fsSL https://static.purplecandy.dev/ampliflare-audio/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

The script downloads the AppImage for your computer, checks it against the release’s checksums, and adds Ampliflare Audio to your app menu. It puts the app in ~/.local/share/ampliflare-audio and an ampliflare-audio command in ~/.local/bin. It also tells you if ffmpeg or libfuse2 is missing.

Run the same command again to reinstall. To remove the app, add --uninstall:

curl -fsSL https://static.purplecandy.dev/ampliflare-audio/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall

Your settings are kept. To install for every user in /opt instead, download the script and run sudo bash install.sh --system.

Manual Linux install

Download a file for your computer and SHA256SUMS from the Download dialog into one folder, then check it. The line for your file should say OK.

sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS

Then install the one you picked, with its name in place of FILE:

File	Command
AppImage	chmod +x FILE.AppImage && ./FILE.AppImage
.deb	sudo apt install ./FILE.deb
.rpm	sudo dnf install ./FILE.rpm

An AppImage needs libfuse2: sudo apt install libfuse2 on Debian and Ubuntu, or libfuse2t64 on Ubuntu 24.04. Without it, start the app with APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1 ./FILE.AppImage.

Your first file

1. Drop audio files on the window, or click Open Files….
2. Pick a tool in the sidebar. Remove noise is first.
3. At the bottom, choose where results go. Next to Original Files is the default, or pick a folder.
4. Click Run at the top right.

New files get the old name plus what was done, like talk-clean.wav. The Name field at the bottom changes that. Your originals are never changed.
