How to Remove Vocals from a Song

Are you looking for an instrumental version of a song for your wedding, or do you want to add tracks to your karaoke library? Searching the internet may seem like the obvious solution, but it's not always ideal.

Accompaniment tracks are not always free and, if they are, they may not sound the same as the real version. Likewise, if a song isn't mainstream, finding its karaoke version can be a struggle.

In these cases, your only option is isolating the vocal track from the song. In the past, removing vocals from an audio track was essentially a manual process, and it affected the quality of the final product.

Thanks to modern software, such as CyberLink AudioDirector, you can easily remove the vocal track from a song, even if you have no experience with audio editing. Various vocal removal techniques are available, including voice and phase cancellation, equalizer configuration, and machine learning.

Let's take a closer look at some situations where you may want or need to remove vocals from a song. We've also included a step-by-step guide you can follow to create instrumental versions of your favorite music.

Try MyEdit Online or download and install CyberLink AudioDirector to your computer and then follow along below to learn how to remove vocals from a song.

3 Reasons to Remove Vocals from a Song

Make Your Own Cover or Parody

The easiest way to create a cover is to convert the original song into a backtrack by removing the original artist's vocals. Then, you can record your own vocals over the backtrack. You can also use this method to rework the original song into a parody.

Add to Your Video or Movie

If you are a video creator and want to incorporate elements of a song into your content, knowing how to remove vocals from a song can be helpful. As a YouTuber, home movie maker, or professional videographer, you'll find plenty of reasons to remove vocal tracks from songs.

Using instrumental versions of music in your videos can help establish a mood or convey a specific narrative. You can also use music to link your content to a specific era or culture.
