Use cases
- Vocal practice: Listen to the original vocals in isolation to compare pitch and phrasing.
- Remixes & mashups: Layer the isolated vocals over a different beat.
- Lyrics transcription: Hearing vocals without instruments makes it easier to catch every word.
- A cappella reference: Use the vocal track for choir or a cappella practice.
Getting better results
- Higher-quality source files (320 kbps MP3 or WAV) produce cleaner separation.
- Songs with fewer instruments and a clear lead vocal work best.
- If the extracted vocal has residual reverb, run it through the Voice Noise Remover to clean it up.
Good to know
- Deep-learning source separation is not 100% perfect. Do not expect studio-quality isolated tracks.
- Extracting vocals from copyrighted songs and redistributing them may violate copyright. Use for personal practice only.
- All processing runs in your browser. No files are uploaded to a server.
- If you want the instrumental instead, save the Instrumental track. See the How to Make a Karaoke Track guide for details.
FAQ
What is the difference between vocal extraction and vocal removal?
Same technology. The Vocal Remover splits a song into Vocals and Instrumental. Saving the Instrumental is vocal removal; saving the Vocals is vocal extraction.
How good is the extracted vocal quality?
Songs with fewer instruments and a clear lead vocal produce the cleanest results. Dense mixes or heavy reverb may leave some artifacts.
Can I make an a cappella track?
Yes. The extracted vocal track is essentially an a cappella. It may not be studio-perfect, but it is useful for practice and reference.
