YouTube has come a long way since the days of single-language videos. With the introduction of multi-language dubbing, creators can now add several audio tracks to one video, giving viewers more ways to watch in their preferred language. For users who want to download these audio tracks, 4K Video Downloader Plus offers a straightforward solution.
If you're trying to collect original language content, dubbed versions, or simply prefer to watch offline, the app makes it easy to access all available audio options directly from YouTube.
Types of Audio Tracks You Can Download with 4K Video Downloader Plus
Dubbed YouTube Audio Tracks
YouTube’s dubbing feature allows creators to upload multiple audio tracks to a single video. This feature is increasingly used by channels targeting international audiences, giving them the option to watch the same video in different languages without relying on subtitles.
4K Video Downloader Plus detects these additional tracks when present and gives you the option to save one, several, or all of them to your device. This is especially useful for language learners, multilingual households, or anyone who prefers to consume content in something other than the default language.
Original Audio
Sometimes, you just want the original, so 4K Video Downloader Plus now includes an “Original Audio” option. This is the creator’s primary uploaded audio track; typically the language in which the video was originally produced. Whether you're using Smart Mode or downloading a playlist or an entire channel, the “Original Audio” option gives you more control over what you save.
Default Audio
If you don’t manually select an audio track, the app will automatically download the default audio, which is the track that plays when you open the video on YouTube. For most videos, this is the original language, though on multi-language content, it might default based on region or viewer settings.
Downloading Dubbed Audio in Smart Mode
Smart Mode is designed to save time. Once enabled, it applies your chosen settings to all downloads—format, quality, output folder, and yes, audio tracks. If you're someone who regularly downloads videos in the same format or quality, this mode is a convenient shortcut.
To download dubbed audio tracks in Smart Mode:
-
Open 4K Video Downloader Plus (available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android).
-
In the toolbar, find the “Download” drop-down and hover over “Audio Tracks.”
-
From the list, pick the languages you want. You can also click “All Tracks” to download every available dubbed version.
-
Copy the YouTube video link.
-
Hit “Paste Link” in the app.
The video will download with the selected audio tracks. Just note: Smart Mode applies preferences before the link is pasted, so if the video doesn’t contain the selected languages, the download will proceed without them.
Manual Mode: For More Control
If you prefer to pick and choose on a case-by-case basis, Manual Mode is the better option. This mode lets you preview which audio tracks are available for each individual video, so you only download what you need.
Here’s how it works:
-
Launch 4K Video Downloader Plus.
-
Copy the link to the YouTube video with dubbing.
-
Click “Paste Link” in the application.
-
In the settings window that opens, toggle the “Audio Tracks” section in the lower right corner.
-
Select specific tracks or choose “All Tracks” if you want everything.
-
Choose your quality settings and output folder.
-
Click “Download.”
Manual Mode ensures you always know exactly what you’re getting before the download begins.
How to Find the Audio Track Settings in 4K Video Downloader Plus
Whether you're using Smart Mode or Manual Mode, audio track options are easy to find. In Smart Mode, they’re in the toolbar under the “Download” section. In Manual Mode, the options appear as soon as you paste a link and get to the download settings screen. Both modes support downloading to all platforms where the app is available.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
Not every YouTube video has multiple audio tracks. If you're specifically looking for multilingual content, check official channels, content from major creators, or international media outlets that are more likely to use the dubbing feature.
Also, while Smart Mode is faster, it doesn’t give you insight into which tracks a specific video has until after the download. Manual Mode takes a bit more time but offers complete transparency.
Wrap-Up
4K Video Downloader Plus gives you the tools to download more than just video. If you’re collecting content for language study, accessibility, or personal preference, the ability to save dubbed audio tracks, original audio, or the default playback version opens up new ways to engage with YouTube content offline.
The feature is simple to use and flexible enough for both casual users and power downloaders. Give it a try and see which audio setup works best for you.
