How does the acapella extractor work?

We use an AI separation model in 2-stem mode targeting vocals, but this time the vocal comes first. You get the lead vocal (and most backing vocals) as your track, with the instrumental as a second file under it. Quality is highest on modern, dry-recorded vocals; reverb-heavy or layered backing vox sometimes carry small instrumental traces.

Use it to sample for a remix, transcribe lyrics, study a singer's phrasing, or feed the vocal into pitch correction or a voice cloning workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Can I publish a remix using an extracted acapella?
Only if you own or license the underlying song. Extraction is a technical operation. Copyright on the original recording still applies.
Why does the acapella sound 'phasey' on some songs?
When the original mix has heavy stereo widening on vocals, the model sometimes returns a slightly metallic stem. A higher-quality source file (WAV, FLAC or a 320 kbps MP3) gives the model more to work with than a low-bitrate copy.
How long does separation take?
Most 3-4 minute songs finish in 1-3 minutes. Time depends on the file length and current backend load. Files can be up to 10 minutes long.
Is my file uploaded somewhere permanent?
Files are processed on our backend and deleted 14 days after the job completes - 90 days on a paid account. We don't keep your audio beyond that and don't use it to train any model.
