Karaoke Maker — Remove Vocals to Make Karaoke Tracks
Turn any song into a karaoke or instrumental track by removing the lead vocals with AI source separation — clean enough to sing over. And if you want, keep the acapella too.
Drop a song
MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC…
Powered by the AI Audio Editor — it runs the separation and lets you keep editing by chatting.
How it works
Three steps — upload, let the AI separate, then download or keep editing.
- 1
Upload a song
Drop any track you want to sing over.
- 2
AI removes the vocals
The model isolates and lifts out the lead vocal, leaving a clean instrumental.
- 3
Download or keep editing
Grab the karaoke track, or keep editing in the chat editor to fine-tune the mix.
Why the Notevibes Karaoke Maker
Real AI separation — not an EQ trick — then a full editor to fine-tune the mix.
Removes the lead vocal cleanly
A neural separation model (Demucs) lifts the lead vocal out of the mix while keeping the music intact.
Keeps the full instrumental
Drums, bass, guitars, keys, and synths stay put — you get a complete backing track, not a hollowed-out song.
Far better than old tricks
No center-channel cancellation or phase inversion. The AI understands the vocal, so the instrumental stays clean.
Keep the acapella too
Want the isolated vocals instead? Pull the acapella out of the same song in one step.
Balance the backing vocals
In the editor you can keep or trim backing vocals and harmonies, then balance the mix by just describing what you want.
Export the instrumental
Download the karaoke track as MP3 or WAV — no watermark, no quality loss.
What you can do with it
One song, endless ways to sing along.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a basic vocal remover?
Old vocal removers cancel the center channel or invert phase, which thins out the music and leaves vocal artifacts. This uses Demucs, a neural separation model that actually understands the vocal — so it lifts the lead voice out while keeping a clean, full instrumental.
How clean is the result?
Clean enough to sing over. The instrumental keeps its punch and the lead vocal is removed with far fewer artifacts than EQ-based tools — though dense or heavily processed mixes can leave faint traces.
Can I keep the acapella?
Yes. The same separation that removes the vocals can give you the isolated acapella instead — just ask for the vocals-only version in the editor.
Does it work on every song?
It works on most songs. Results are best on clearly recorded tracks; very dense, heavily layered, or low-quality mixes can be harder to separate cleanly.
What formats can I upload?
MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, and OGG. The karaoke track can be downloaded as MP3 or WAV.
Can I lower the vocal instead of fully removing it?
Yes. In the editor you can keep the lead vocal turned down as a quiet guide instead of removing it completely.
Is it free?
Try it in the AI Audio Editor; vocal removal is metered with credits like the other AI features.
