# Vocal Remover

This vocal remover splits a song into an instrumental and an isolated vocal with UVR-MDX-NET Voc_FT, a real source-separation model running in your browser. It is not a centre-channel trick, so vocals panned off centre are still found. Choose 192 kbps MP3 or 16-bit WAV. Songs can run up to 15 minutes, and nothing is uploaded.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Choose a song. Audio files and videos both work, up to 15 minutes.
2. Pick MP3 192 kbps or WAV 16-bit for the output.
3. Press Split song. The 66.8 MB model downloads on the first run.
4. Download the instrumental and the vocals as two separate files.

- **Formats**: MP3 192 kbps or WAV 16-bit, stereo at 44.1 kHz

## Common uses

- Study how a lead vocal was phrased by hearing it on its own.
- Build a remix or a mashup draft from an isolated vocal.
- Practise harmonies against the backing with the lead taken out.
- Listen for arrangement details that a loud vocal normally hides.

## Questions

### How is this better than a phase-cancel vocal remover?

Phase cancelling subtracts one stereo channel from the other, which only touches sound panned dead centre and also removes the bass and kick. This model predicts the vocal itself from the spectrum, so it keeps the rest of the mix intact.

### Can it split drums, bass and other instruments?

No. You get two stems only, vocals and everything else. Splitting individual instruments needs a different and much larger model.

### Why can I still hear a little of the vocal?

Heavy reverb, delay and stacked backing vocals are the hardest parts, so faint traces can remain in the instrumental. Instruments that sound voice-like can also bleed into the vocal file.

### Can I use the separated tracks however I like?

The tool places no limits of its own, but the song's copyright still applies. Practice and study are one thing. Publishing a remix or backing track usually needs permission from the rights holder.

### Is the vocal remover free, and what are the limits?

Yes, it is free, with no account, no watermark and no daily limit, because your own device does the work. Each file can be up to 15 minutes long, and the first run downloads a 66.8 MB model.

### Does the vocal remover work on a phone?

Phones have not been tested. On our test computer the browser reached nearly 5 GB of memory during a run, so a computer is the safer choice.
