Separate Vocals from Music
Split a song into two tracks with a vocal and instrumental separator. Isolate the singing for an a cappella edit, or keep the music for karaoke, rehearsal, or a new vocal take.

Original mix
One song → two tracks
Instrumental Backing Track
Remove vocals from a song to keep the accompaniment together. Use this track when you want to sing, rehearse, or record over the music.
How to Separate Vocals from a Song
- 01
Upload Your Song
Choose the best-quality copy you have. Start with the full mix containing both the singing and the instruments.
- 02
Separate the Tracks
Check the credit quote and submit. AI estimates the singing and accompaniment, then saves two separate audio tracks.
- 03
Use the Track You Need
Listen to each output, check for leftover singing in quiet passages, and download the vocals or the instrumental.
Make a Backing Track, Study a Vocal, or Start a Remix
Sing over the Instrumental
Use the backing track to rehearse without following the original singer.
Hear the Vocal Phrasing
Listen to the isolated vocal to study timing, pronunciation, and delivery.
Start a Remix
Use a vocal stem you have permission to reuse and build a new arrangement around it.
Work with the Part of the Song You Need
Singers and Cover Artists
When a karaoke version sounds different from the recording you learned, keep the accompaniment of that recording for your next rehearsal.
Vocal Coaches and Students
When a busy arrangement hides the singer’s timing, use the isolated vocal to focus on breath, diction, and delivery.
Producers and Remixers
Audition an authorized vocal stem and check for instrumental bleed before building a new arrangement around it.
How to Get Better Vocal Separation
Separation quality depends on the source mix. Reverb, layered voices, and overlapping instruments can leave audible traces. Listen before using either stem in a final edit.
Start with a Clean Source
Use the original recording when possible. Screen recordings, heavy compression, and crowd noise make isolation harder.
Check the Chorus and Quiet Sections
Listen for buried harmonies in the chorus and trailing vocal reverb between lines.
Pick the Right Type of Split
This tool creates vocals and a combined backing track. For separate drums, bass, or guitar, use a multi-stem workflow.

What is a vocal stem?
A vocal stem is an audio track containing the singing from a mix. The instrumental stem contains the accompaniment.
Can I separate the instrumental from the vocals?
Yes. Vocal and instrumental separation produces both parts, so you can work with the backing track or the singing independently.
Will the instrumental sound exactly like the original backing track?
Results depend on the recording. Reverb, overlapping frequencies, and dense mixes can leave traces of the vocal in the accompaniment.
What does the instrumental track contain?
It combines the accompaniment into one track, which can include drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, and other instruments in the mix.
What does an AI vocal separator do?
An AI vocal separator estimates which parts of a mixed recording belong to the singing and which belong to the accompaniment. Those estimates form two separate tracks.
How does a vocal separator differ from an online vocal remover?
Removing vocals usually means keeping the instrumental. Vocal separation gives you both sides of the split, so you can also use the isolated singing.
Can I separate vocals from a live recording?
Live recordings can be split, but audience noise, overlapping voices, and room echo can carry into either output. Check both tracks before using them.
