Remove Vocals from any MP3 File

Karaoke is more popular than ever, with more and more people taking to the craze which allows you to sing along to popular songs that have the vocal track removed. Karaoke songs can be purchased and played using software on your computer, so you can also enjoy this popular activity in the comfort of your own home.

Did you know you can create your own karaoke tracks using the open source music production software Audacity? All you need is a regular MP3 file, which is then loaded into Audacity, and with a few clicks the vocal track can be removed almost completely - leaving you a perfect, authentic backing track to sing along to - with friends or all on your lonesome.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Download and install Audacity and acquiring the installation file. Follow the normal installation procedure for your Windows, Linux or OS-X based computer.

Launch Audacity using any of the shortcuts that were added during the installation process.

Click File and Open, then locate an MP3 file you wish to remove the vocal track from. The song is displayed within the Audacity interface as two waveform bars (two because most MP3 files are in stereo).

Click the black down arrow on the control panel to the left of the top stereo track and choose Split Stereo Track. There are now two control panels, one for each stereo track.

Highlight the entire bottom track using the mouse and click Effect, then choose Invert. Click the black down arrow on the bottom track control panel and choose Mono.

Repeat this step for the top track by clicking the black down arrow in the control panel and choosing Mono.

Click File and Save As, then choose a unique name for your new MP3 file to ensure the original track with the vocals is not lost.

Your new vocal-less MP3 file can now be played using any music software.

Tips & Advice

This technique works with any genre of music, but for some recordings there may be a trace of the vocal track remaining. In most cases, the vocal track will be barely audible and can even be useful as a rough guide to singing the song properly.
