How to remove vocals from a song

A vocal remover does not delete anything. It separates the song into its parts and hands you all of them, so the instrumental is simply every track except the vocal. That is why the result here stays in time with the original down to the sample, and why you can change your mind about what to keep.

  1. Add your song: Drop a WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, FLAC or OGG: a finished mix, a rough bounce or a phone recording.
  2. Press Remove vocals: The song opens in the vocal remover. BS-RoFormer splits it into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and the rest, lined up with the original.
  3. Download the instrumental: The first file back is the song without its vocal, mixed in your browser from the other five stems. The vocal and every other stem are there to download too.

Questions about the vocal remover?

We have answers.

How do I remove the vocals from a song?

Drop the song on this page. It is separated into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other, each on its own track. The instrumental, the song without its vocal, is the first file in the results, with every stem below it.

Is the vocal remover free?

Yes, to start. A free account comes with 120 credits a month and separating a song is 20, with no card needed to start. Pro has 2,000 a month.

Can I make a karaoke track from an MP3?

Yes. An MP3 goes in like a WAV or a FLAC. The instrumental can be exported as MP3, WAV or FLAC, and it stays in time with the original recording.

Does it remove backing vocals too?

Yes. Every sung voice is in the vocal stem, so the backing vocals leave with the lead. To keep the harmonies and lose only the lead, run a voice split on the vocal stem and keep the voices you want.

Will the instrumental sound like the original?

Close to it on a clean mix. Vocals are the stem a separator handles best. A loud vocal reverb can leave a trace, and a dense or heavily distorted mix separates less cleanly than a sparse one.

  • The instrumental is the other five stems

    Tools that return one "instrumental" file have already made your decisions for you. Here the song comes back as six tracks, so the karaoke version is the five that are not the vocal, and you can also drop the guitar for practice, or keep only drums and bass to rehearse over. The stems are cut from the same timeline as the original, so anything you bounce still lines up with it.

  • Backing vocals leave with the lead

    The vocal stem is every sung voice in the mix: the lead, the doubles and the harmonies. Removing it removes all of them, which is what a karaoke track wants. If you need the lead gone but the harmonies kept, split the vocal stem into its voices afterwards and put the ones you want back.

  • What a vocal remover cannot take out

    A separator removes the voice, and the effects printed onto it mostly go with it. A long reverb or delay that was mixed loud can leave a faint outline in the instrumental, and a vocal buried inside distorted guitars is the hardest case for any model, this one included. A clean modern mix separates close to silently.

Vocal remover, instrumental maker, karaoke maker: one job

A vocal remover, an instrumental maker, a karaoke maker, an AI vocal remover and a way to remove vocals from a song or from an MP3 all name this one separation, and it runs here in the browser with nothing to install. When the voice is the part you want to keep, that is the acapella extractor.
