Hear the separation wall

These licensed source recordings were AI-separated by StemSlice and excerpted to 30 seconds. User uploads are private and never published.

Keep cue points and song structure intact

Check entrances, breaks, key changes, backing vocals, and the final ending before rehearsal.

Any song, not just catalog hits

If you have the file, you can make the karaoke version.

Full-bodied backing

AI separation keeps the instruments rich instead of thin and phasey.

No editing software required

Upload from a browser, follow the processing stages, and preview the backing track when it is ready.

Safe and private

Files expire 24 hours after job creation and are then removed by automated cleanup; nothing is shared.

Prepare a dependable karaoke backing track

Alignment, final playback level, venue context, and performance rights all matter.

Prepare lyric cues against the unchanged song structure

A karaoke track should retain intros, count-ins, breaks, key changes, and endings so the singer knows where to enter. Because the stems share the source start time, the instrumental can remain aligned with existing lyric timing. Verify the first entrance and any rubato section before using it at an event.

Check backing vocals before calling the track performance-ready

Backing vocals may be grouped with the lead vocal and disappear from the instrumental. For some songs that is desirable; for others a chorus depends on response lines or a choir texture. The opening preview is only an initial check; review the complete unlocked output before relying on it for rehearsal or performance.

Venue and public performance rights still apply

Making a backing track does not replace public-performance, synchronization, mechanical, or master-use permissions. Rules differ by venue and country. Use recordings you are allowed to process, and confirm the licenses required for public events, streams, monetized videos, or distributed karaoke files.

Set playback level after the backing track is complete

Do not normalize each source stem independently. Sum the selected backing stems first, compare them with the original mix, and then set the final rehearsal or venue level. Check the opening cue, first chorus, bridge, and ending so the singer receives the same arrangement landmarks throughout the song.

Keep an emergency reference mix for rehearsals and events

Export a short reference with the original vocal at low level or keep the licensed original available separately for cue recovery. This is useful when an entrance is ambiguous, a backing vocal disappears, or the arrangement contains a rubato break. The performance version can remain instrumental while the reference helps the singer and operator recover quickly.

Credits that do not expire

1 credit unlocks one full 4-stem download. Previewing, listening, and failed processing jobs do not consume credits.

FAQ

Answers for free limits, formats, privacy, copyright, and download quality.

How do I make a karaoke version of a song?

Upload the song above. The AI removes the vocals and leaves the instrumental; processing time depends on the track and queue.

Is this karaoke maker free?

Making and previewing tracks is free (3 songs a day). High-quality downloads use credits from $4.9, no subscription.

Will every trace of the singer disappear?

Not always. Results depend on the recording, and reverb, doubled vocals, or overlapping instruments can remain audible.

Can I keep the backing vocals?

The current model treats all vocals as one stem, so backing vocals are removed along with the lead.

What format do I get?

WAV, FLAC, or 320kbps MP3.

Can I use these tracks at a public karaoke night?

Private parties are generally fine; public or commercial performances usually require a license for the underlying song. Check your local rules.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes — upload, preview, and download all work in mobile browsers.
