Vocal Remover and Instrumental Maker
Upload a song and get two tracks back: the instrumental without vocals, and the vocals on their own. It works as a vocal isolator and a karaoke maker for music you may use.
How to remove vocals from a song
- 1
Upload the song
Drop in an MP3, WAV or FLAC file up to 10 MB, or choose a song from your Songluna AI library.
- 2
Choose the model
Mureka removes vocals from any uploaded song for 5 credits. For songs you generated with Suno in Songluna AI, Suno does it for 2 credits.
- 3
Listen and download both tracks
Select Remove Vocals. You get the instrumental and the isolated vocals as separate tracks, each with its own player and download.
What you get back
| Track | What it contains | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Instrumental | Everything except the lead and backing vocals | Karaoke, singing practice, recording your own cover |
| Vocals (a cappella) | The vocals on their own | Remixes of licensed music, studying a vocal line, harmonies |
Used as an instrumental maker, the AI vocal remover gives you the backing track on its own, and as an acapella maker it gives you the vocals on their own, so you can make an instrumental online from any song you may use. Need the drums, bass and other instruments separately too? Use the Stem Splitter. Every way to get an instrumental, free ones included, is compared in How to make a song instrumental.
How to get a cleaner result
- Upload the highest-quality version you have; WAV and FLAC beat a compressed MP3.
- Studio mixes separate better than live recordings.
- Heavy reverb, doubled vocals and choirs can leave faint traces in the instrumental.
- Listen to the quiet parts and transitions, where leftovers are easiest to hear.
Popular ways to use a vocal remover
- Karaoke nights and singing practice with the original backing track; move it to a key that suits your voice with the Pitch Changer.
- Cover recordings: sing over the instrumental of a song you are licensed to cover.
- Remix prep for tracks you own, then reshape them with the AI Song Remixer.
- Your own songs: pull the vocal out of a generated song to re-record or re-mix it.
Use music you have the rights to
Removing the vocals does not remove the copyright. Personal practice is one thing; publishing or selling an instrumental or a cappella of someone else’s song needs the rights holder’s permission. See Commercial Use for what each plan allows with your own music.
Vocal Remover Before and After
| Feature | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Vocal presence | Lead and backing vocals clearly audible in the mix | Vocals removed, clean instrumental track remains |
| Instrumental preservation | All instruments mixed together with vocals on top | Instrumental parts intact with original EQ and dynamics |
| Background vocal removal | Harmonies and ad-libs layered throughout | Both lead and background vocals stripped cleanly |
What You Can Do with Vocal Remover
Create Karaoke Versions
Turn any song into a karaoke track by removing the lead vocals while keeping the full instrumental arrangement. Perfect for parties, events, and practice sessions.
Sample Instrumentals
Extract clean instrumental sections from vocal-heavy tracks for sampling, DJ sets, or as a foundation for new productions.
Practice Along to Any Song
Remove vocals to sing along with the original instrumental track. Great for vocal training, auditions, and learning arrangements.
Choose the Right Vocal Separation Path
Use Vocal Remover when you need a fast instrumental and acapella pair. If your next step needs more control, move to the related workflow before exporting final files.
More stems
Need drums, bass, and instruments too
Switch to Stem Splitter when you need more than vocal and instrumental outputs for production or remix editing.
Open Stem SplitterNext step
Create a remix after separation
Move to AI Remix when the instrumental or acapella is ready and you want to test a new genre, tempo, or arrangement.
Open AI RemixUpload audio you own, created, licensed, or have permission to edit. Vocal removal and acapella extraction do not clear rights in the original song.
Utility examples
