Remove vocals from a song

Split any stereo song into vocal and instrumental stems to make a karaoke track. Free, private, no watermark.

Mae's vocal remover uses centre-channel cancellation — the same technique used by classic karaoke machines —

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't this work on my mono MP3?

Centre-channel cancellation needs two distinct stereo channels to compare — a mono file has no channel difference to isolate. Look for a stereo version of the track.

Is this true AI stem separation?

No — it's a fast, fully offline signal-processing technique. It works well on typical pop/rock mixes but won't be as clean as a server-side AI model like Spleeter or Demucs on complex mixes.
