Karaoke Maker removes the singer from a song and keeps the music, so you can sing along at home, practise a cover or make a backing track. Instrumental is already selected, and the song is separated in your browser, so it is never uploaded.
How to make a karaoke track
- Choose a song (MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC) or a music video.
- Click Separate. The first time, the separation model is downloaded and kept by your browser.
- Listen to the instrumental, then download it as MP3. The file is named after the song, with -instrumental added.
Make it fit your voice
- Wrong key? Open the instrumental in Change Pitch and lower or raise it by one to three semitones. Your timing stays the same, because the tempo does not change.
- Too fast to learn? Slow it to 0.9× or 0.75× in Change Audio Speed, with the pitch kept.
- Long intro? Cut it with the Audio Cutter.
- A whole evening? Make several tracks and join them with 2 s of silence in the Audio Joiner.
- Need the lyrics? Choose Vocals only once and transcribe that file with Audio to Text.
Which songs work best
| Song | Result |
|---|---|
| Studio pop, rock or ballad with one lead singer | Very clean, ready to sing over |
| Many backing vocals or a choir | Mostly removed; harmonies are treated as vocals too |
| Live recordings, heavy reverb | A faint shadow of the voice can remain |
| Low-quality MP3 or video sound | Works, with more artefacts |
| A cappella or spoken word | Not useful: there is little music to keep |
A faint trace of the singer is actually helpful when you are learning a song, and disappears under your own voice.
Tips
- Start with the best version of the song you have: a FLAC or 320 kbit/s MP3 gives a cleaner track than a video’s sound.
- Play it through good speakers. Small artefacts that are audible on headphones are hard to hear in a room with someone singing.
- The track is for singing at home and practice. Public performances and covers posted online need permission from the rights holders.
