Make a backing track for practice
Keep the instruments, check the result, then choose your rehearsal key.
An instrumental maker separates a recording into vocals and instrumental audio. The instrumental keeps the band together: drums, bass, guitar, piano and other instruments remain in one backing track. It is useful for singing practice, covers and rehearsals when you have permission to use the recording.
Listen before you export
Switch between the original and instrumental at the same point in the song. Check the chorus, quiet passages and the ends of vocal phrases. Reverb or layered backing vocals can remain in the instrumental; dense mixes can also lose some instrument detail. Start with the best source file you have. A larger export cannot restore detail missing from that source.
How to judge vocal-removal qualityWhat if I need a guitar or drum backing track?
The free plan makes two stems, the vocals and everything else, so it cannot remove only a guitar, bass or drum part. Paid plans can also split a track of up to 10 minutes into vocals, drums, bass and other. DeVocal does not generate a new accompaniment. For a vocal part to edit in your DAW, use the acapella extractor.
MP3 for rehearsal, WAV for further editing
Anyone can download the instrumental as an MP3, with no account. Paid plans add lossless WAV, which avoids another lossy encoding step when you take the result into an editor. Both formats use the same separated audio; paying for WAV does not remove extra vocal residue. Check the current plan limits and export formats before choosing a plan.
Hear a backing track two semitones lower
The sample above plays the same 30 seconds in the original key and two semitones lower.
Listen to the backing-track exampleShift the instrumental in one-semitone steps, up to ±6. Results depend on the recording and the size of the shift. Use audio you have permission to process.
