Removing singer’s voice or vocals from an Mp3 file has become very important in many events. Sometimes, we want to remove vocals to add our own voice in the song. Sometimes, we want just the instrumental music of a song to play or mix with other sound effects to create party/dance music. So, if you have the problem to remove vocals from a song then here I am telling you two ways to extract instrumentals out of an Mp3 file.
Vocal Remover adalah pesaing yang baik untuk situs web X-Minus.Pro. Ini memungkinkan Agan menambahkan FLAC, MP3, AAC, M4A, WAV, OGG, WMA, atau file audio lain yang didukung. Agan bisa mengunjungi situs Vocal Remover. Setelah trek audio diunggah, Agan perlu mengaktifkan mode 'karaoke' (jika belum diaktifkan). Ini akan menghapus vokal secara. Welcome to the large collection of tracks without leading vocals! Our service allows you to change the key of any track, create playlists and more.
The first way is using the audio editor Audacity. The reason to use this audio tool to remove vocals from Mp3 is that it is free and easy to use and the sound editor has direct options to remove vocals from mp3.
Using Audacity to Remove Vocals from Mp3
To start with using Audacity to remove singer’s voice and other vocals, firstly download it for free from here. Choose the appropriate version according to your operating system (Windows, Mac and Linux), download and install the software.
Now, open the music file of which you want to remove vocals. You can either browse (File >> Import >> Audio) or drag-n-drop your music file to Audacity. Once to add the song, Audacity will process and represent it like this:
Now, there are actually two ways to remove vocals from an audio file using the software. The first way is using Invert effect and the second way is using the Vocal Remover effect directly. Both ways are quick and may provide output instrumental music of your original music file in different quality so, to achieve the best effect it is recommended to try both of these methods in your original music file to check which gives the better output.
Remove Vocals from Music using Audacity Invert Effect
To remove vocals from an audio file using Audacity’s Invert effect. Firstly, if you are on the same screen as the screenshot shows, you need to Split Stereo Track into left and right stereo. Do this by clicking the downward arrow at the left sidebar and choose Split Stereo Track option.
Now, you can choose either of left or right stereo to remove vocals. Click the stereo track (left or right) and navigate to Effect >> Invert from the top menu. The reason to use Invert effect is that Audacity invert effect flips the audio upside-down and hence it cancels the identical audio if uninverted and inverted tracks are mixed together.
Now, the final step is to change both left channel and right channel audio track to Mono. Do this by choosing “Mono” option from the downward arrow drop-down menu which is appearing in the left sidebar for both the audio track.
Listen to song now using the Play button provided above and you’ll hear only music of the original song and no vocals. You can now either save this editing as Audacity project using File >> Save to do other modifications later or if you are happy with the output and just want to export the resulted audio in .Mp3 format, do this by exporting the song using AAudio.
Remove Vocals from Music using Audacity Vocals Remover
Removing Vocals from any music using Audacity Vocal Remover effect is just a work of few clicks. You only need to open the audio in Audacity, select its track and use Effect >> Vocals Remover tool in Audacity. It will open a pop-up box, keep all settings default and just click “OK”. It will automatically remove vocals from your audio file.
However, Vocal Remover tool is best suited for audio files with center-panned vocals. It assumes vocals are available at the center channel which is correct in most of the cases but in some complex audio files where there is layered channel vocals, echo, reverb, left & right tracks manipulation etc., this effect is not going to work perfectly.
But if you want to achieve the best result and you have only this free software available, checking both the methods is recommended.
If you have any problem in following steps properly, watch the below video to remove vocals from Mp3 using same methods of Audacity:
The instrumental music you will get after following any of the above methods of free audio editor Audacity are ok for personal use but not good enough to use professionally because if you listen carefully, you will still hear vocal but in very low voice.
So, if you have the need to achieve crystal clear instrumental music from original song by removing vocals perfectly, I will recommend you to use the PRO audio editor Melodyne.
It allows you to literally select every single note and remove vocals from it. So, you can remove echo, reverb, layered vocals and other noise to achieve perfect instrumental music by removing vocals from a song. The software also allows you to add tons of effects to your audio to provide it the best level of compilation you can provide.
If you are looking for ways how to create a karaoke version or removing vocals from a music track, then it can be done using Adobe Audition or Audacity.
Creating Karaoke version in Adobe Audition
In this step, you can either select to create a karaoke version that removes the vocals from a song. Below are the steps:
1.) Launch Adobe Audition.
2.) Load up/Open up the audio in Adobe Audition editor view (File Open). The most recommended is audio CD wav 16 bit resolution. However you can also work with an MP3 file type, although the quality is NOT that good as compared with the wav version.
3.) Once the audio has been completely loaded, press Control- A to select the entire audio waveform.
4.) Go to Effects Filters Center Channel Extractor.
5.) You have two options at the Presets to look at, these are the:
a.) Karaoke (Drop vocals 20dB)
b.) Vocal Remove
Screenshot (using Karaoke Drop vocals 20dB presets):

6.) Try selecting the “Karaoke” presets and then click “Preview” to listen. You might notice that it won’t completely remove the vocals. For most singers, this is enough; because once the original vocals on the recording have been substantially dropped (like 20dB), they can comfortably sing along with that karaoke version.
X Minus Vocal Remover
One good tip is that; it is not advisable to go overboard with the Center Channel Extractor settings in order to “completely” remove the vocals. It will NOT sound nice and your minus-one/karaoke version will sound worse.
7.) Alternatively, you can try “Vocal Remove” presets and see if you are happy with the settings (by clicking Preview and listening to the rendered minus one version).
8.) Once you have applied the settings to the entire waveform, it is now the time to save it. Go to File Save As, and then type the file name. Do not forget to save it as “Windows PCM (*.wav)”, this will save it as a lossless audio format.
Warning: It is very important to “Save As” always particularly if you are working with original audio. It is because if you directly save your work from Adobe Audition editor, it will “overwrite” the original and you won’t be able to recover it again.
Below are the important technical settings of Center Channel Extractor that you should know:
Center = Get audio phased at: Most vocals are panned in the center during mixing process, so it is why this is set to center because this is where the vocals are located. If the vocals are panned to either right or left, not in the center, then it won’t be removed with “Center” settings then you need to set it accurately to the correct location.
Frequency range = this is the estimated and effective vocal related frequencies to be removed.
Center channel level = the lower the settings (more negative dB), the more vocals will be removed. For example, it is obvious that karaoke still has substantial amount of vocals left as compared to “vocal remove” presets, and karaoke use a -20dB Center channel level while Vocal remove uses -40dB.
The rest of the settings can be left at its default, feel free to experiment further with the rest of the settings. Be careful not to overwrite your original audio when working with it. It’s important to “Save As” when you are saving any edited audio.

Removing Vocals in Audacity
Audacity is free software that you can use to remove vocals. However there is a catch, some Audacity versions (like in Windows XP) does not yet include the vocal removal feature. I also tried using the latest Audacity version in Windows 7 but do not seem to the remove vocals very well.
I have tried with other software solutions such as plug-in in Reaper and still do not remove vocals properly. All of them degrades the quality of the original recording (such as filtering the bass too much) and introduces a lot of audio artifacts/noises.
In this tutorial, you will learn the most effective way of removing vocals without depending on a plug-in or your software audio editing features. The result is still clean and close to the original source as much as possible. Let’s get started.
The IMPORTANT Audio Requirements
First, make sure you are NOT working with an MP3 file. If you want to remove the vocals of an MP3 file, first convert that one to 24-bit/44.1KHz WAV file. The following are the procedures:
1.) Launch Audacity.
2.) Go to Edit – Preferences.
3.) Select “File Format” tab.
4.) Under “Uncompressed Export Format”, select “Other”.
And under “Header”, select “WAV (Microsoft)” and in the “Encoding” select “Signed 24-bit PCM”.
5.) Click OK.
6.) Go to File – Open, browse to the MP3 file then click Open. This will load the MP3 waveform in Audacity.
7.) Then go to File – Export as WAV. Save it to a location where you can access it easily.
8.) Double check whether the file is now actually a 24-bit WAV. Right click on the exported WAV, click “Properties” and go to summary tab.
