What you get

A vocal remover that leaves the music clean

Separate vocals from the instrumental without the swirl and artefacts older tools leave behind — then keep whichever part you need.
Clean vocal removal

Clean vocal removal

AI separation keeps the instrumental full and natural instead of hollowing it out, so the backing still holds up underneath whatever you put on top.
Vocal isolation and acapella extraction

Vocal isolation and acapella extraction

Keep the isolated vocal as an acapella for edits, mashups and performance study, or download the instrumental to sing over. Both come from the same separation.

FAQ

Vocal removal, isolation and acapella questions

An AI vocal remover separates the singing from the instrumental in a finished song and returns both as separate audio files. It also works as a vocal isolator and acapella extractor: keep the instrumental to remove the voice, or keep the vocal to hear it on its own.

Upload any MP3, WAV or FLAC and hit Separate. Lacuna splits the track into a vocal-free instrumental and an isolated vocal — preview and download whichever you need.

Both run the same separation. Use the vocal remover when you want both sides as separate files — the instrumental and the acapella — to mix, sample or edit. If all you need is something to sing over, the Karaoke Maker is set up for that end to end, and carries on into synced lyrics and karaoke video when you want the words on screen.

Upload your song and start the separation. Preview the vocal track, then download it as MP3 or WAV to get the acapella; the instrumental stays available too. Dense mixes, reverb and overlapping instruments can leave some bleed or artifacts in the isolated vocal.

MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A and OGG, up to 50 MB and 12 minutes per track. Export the instrumental or acapella as MP3 or lossless WAV.

You get monthly credits free to start, so you can remove vocals at no cost. Heavier use draws more credits, and you can top up any time.

You keep the parts you generate. Just note that removing vocals from a copyrighted song doesn't grant rights to the original recording — make sure you have permission for whatever you release.
