Have you ever listened to a song and wished you could get rid of the singer’s voice and just listen to the background music? Whether it’s because you like that type of music or simply because you hate the singer’s voice; separating the vocals from the music and just listening to the music alone is now achievable and easy.
You no longer need to rely on audio editing software like Audacity, which makes separating music from vocals a very difficult process. Instead, there are many online websites dedicated to muting human vocals and focusing on the music alone, all without any user intervention, as everything is done in the background using AI algorithms. While most of these sites offer the service for a fee, in this article, let’s focus only on the free websites that you can use from any device, whether a computer or your phone.
Before using any of the mentioned tools below, keep in mind that the results are not guaranteed. In some cases, the resulting music may be perfectly separated without any trace of the singer’s voice, while in other cases, the singer’s voice may be intertwined with the music in specific parts due to the varying sound waves, making separating them nearly impossible. In any case, it’s always best to try out all the tools to achieve the perfect result.
1 Tool Lalal.ai
The website Lalal.ai analyzes any song to identify all types of voices used in it. It is considered a professional tool created by experts in AI, machine learning, and digital signal processing, so the result is often highly satisfactory for many users.
The service can be used to separate music for free, but with certain restrictions, such as the song duration not exceeding 10 minutes and the file size being a maximum of 50 megabytes. After trying it out, you can subscribe to the paid plans to get rid of these restrictions. Despite the availability of other completely free options, what sets Lalal.ai apart is the speed and lack of producing distorted and annoying music, at least based on the tests we conducted. It performs the task well.
Using the service is simple; after opening the website, drag and drop the song file. After a few seconds, while the file is being analyzed, within a short time, no more than a minute, previews (if using the free service) will be generated for the parts of the song containing human vocals and musical instruments. If you notice that the previews are accurate, click on “Process the entire file” to process the entire song, then you can download only the music or the singer’s audio file. As mentioned, the results are great, separating between the instruments and their sounds, making them appear as separate and original clips.
2 Tool Vocals Remover
As the name suggests, Vocals Remover is also a professional tool designed specifically to separate the singer’s voice from the music, allowing you to remove the human voice from any song easily and quickly thanks to the experienced AI it relies on. The website supports audio files in MP3 and WAV formats. To get a voice-free music piece, simply upload any song to the website, wait for the conversion process, and download the converted audio. The service is entirely free, but please note that the vocals can only be removed from songs if the file duration does not exceed 10 minutes and the size is 80 megabytes – the developer states that these restrictions are necessary to avoid filling the servers responsible for storing audio files.
3 Tool Vocal Remover and Isolation
Vocal Remover and Isolation is one of the oldest free services available online that automatically separates vocals from music without requiring many manual steps. It works excellently on small phone screens and computers and can be accessed from any web browser. To use it, simply click on the “Browse my files” button to upload the song file to the service, then wait for the sound processing to start, and you will get two clips – a karaoke version (without vocals) and an acapella version (isolated vocals). You can adjust a specific level for the music or human voice, such as lowering the singer’s voice and raising the music. After finishing, click on Music + Vocals to download the customized file or Vocals to download only the singer’s audio or Music for the music only.
4 Tool Vocali.se
Another entirely free service, Vocali.se, allows you to easily separate the vocals from the music in any song or audio file, enabling you to create a karaoke version in just a few minutes. All you need to do is visit Vocali.se through your browser, open the desired song, and it will be uploaded to the site’s servers for analysis and automatic vocal separation, which usually takes a minute, but if the file is long, it may take more time. In the end, you will receive a message confirming the completion of the process, and it will start downloading immediately. What sets this site apart is that it provides a compressed file containing both a singer-only audio file and a separate music file. Now that the process is complete, you can repeat it on any other songs you want to separate the vocals from the music.
