Works on stereo songs where the vocal sits in the center. Mono files won't change.
Cancellation strength
100% fully cancels the center channel. Lower values keep more of the drums and bass at the cost of vocal residue.
About this vocal remover
This tool removes (or strongly suppresses) the vocal track from a stereo song by cancelling whatever sits dead-center in the mix — which, in most pop and rock recordings, is the lead vocal.
It's the classic phase-cancellation karaoke trick. Quality depends on the song: a tightly mixed dry vocal disappears almost entirely, while heavily reverbed or wide-panned vocals leave audible bleed. For perfect stem separation, AI tools like Demucs are better. This runs instantly with no install.

Vocal remover FAQ
Will it always remove all the vocals?
No — this is phase-cancellation, not AI. Vocals that are fully centered with little reverb get removed cleanly. Wide stereo vocals or vocals with heavy reverb leave audible residue.
Will it affect the bass and drums?
A little. Kick drums, bass and any other center-panned element will also get attenuated. The aggressiveness slider lets you trade vocal cancellation against side-effects.
Why is the output mono?
Phase cancellation works by subtracting one channel from the other, which collapses to mono. The output is widened back into a faux-stereo by duplicating the result.
Is there a higher-quality option?
Yes — AI stem separation (Demucs, Spleeter) sounds dramatically better but needs heavier compute. We may add that in a future update.
