Limited to 1 separation per hour per person — this process is CPU-intensive to run for free.
How it works
This tool uses real audio-source-separation processing to split a track into vocals and instrumental — not a simple center-channel filter, which only partially removes vocals and often damages the mix.
Because this runs on CPU rather than expensive GPU infrastructure, a single track takes a few minutes and we limit it to one separation per hour per person, so it stays free and available for everyone.
Common uses
Karaoke & practice: get an instrumental to sing or play along with.
Remixing & sampling: isolate an acapella or a clean instrumental bed to build on.
Cover reference: hear the instrumentation clearly without the original vocal in the way.
Copyright & fair use
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to process any track you upload — for personal practice, content you own, or material you have permission to use. AudioForges does not host or distribute the tracks processed through this tool.
