Saturalabs / Music & instruments
Online karaoke maker. Your turn to sing.
Try turning a song you have into an instrumental practice backing. Separate the singing, keep the remaining music, and check the arrangement before rehearsing your own performance.

A focused approach
A karaoke backing needs more than a quieter singer
For karaoke, your goal is a usable accompaniment: the melody, rhythm, and transitions should still support your performance after the singing is reduced. Start by targeting the singing vocals, then listen to Background audio for the remaining music. Isolated sound contains the separated vocals, which can serve as a reference while you learn the phrasing.
Judge the result as a practice track rather than assuming it is an official instrumental. A song with doubled vocals or shared reverb can leave traces of the singer. Those traces may still be acceptable for rehearsal, while a public performance or published cover may call for a different backing and the appropriate permissions.
From mix to source
How to use the karaoke maker
Choose your song file
Upload MP3 or WAV, or an MP4 or MOV recording, up to 50 MiB (52.43 MB). Use a source that includes the entire section you need to rehearse, including its count-in or opening cue.
Request the singing vocals
Start with ‘The singing vocals.’ This requests the voice as the isolated source. A request for ‘karaoke’ alone is less specific about which audible sound to separate.
Audition the remaining music
Choose Background audio for the backing. Check the first vocal entry, the chorus, and the ending. Make sure the accompaniment and timing cues still make sense without the main singer.
Prepare for your practice setup
Download the chosen WAV, set a comfortable playback level, and keep the original nearby as a reference. Add lyrics or other practice aids separately in the tools you already use.

Made for a real next step
Put the separated audio to work
Learn an entrance
Compare the separated vocal with the remaining backing to hear where a phrase begins. Then rehearse with the backing while relying on the instrumental cues.
Rehearse a full song
Check that quieter bridges and transitions still support you before running a complete practice session. Vocal removal can vary between sections.
Prepare an authorized cover
Use a backing only when the recording and your planned use are permitted. Check the instrumental in the intended mix rather than judging it solely on headphones.
Listen before you commit
Three checks worth making
Compare a quiet passage and a busy passage with the original, at a similar listening level.
Useful musical cues
Check introductions, breaks, and the ending. Removing the singer may leave fewer cues for entering a phrase.
Harmonies and vocal tails
Listen to the chorus and pauses. Doubled vocals, harmonies, and reverberation can remain in the backing.
Balance while singing
Try the track with your actual practice speakers at a sensible level. Check that the accompaniment supports rather than masks your voice.
Know the limits
An audio backing, without automatic lyric production
Saturalabs separates audio. It does not create synchronized karaoke lyrics, a lyric video, a count-in, or a new musical key. Prepare those elements separately if your practice or performance requires them.
The remaining mix can contain vocal remnants or changes to instruments that overlap the voice. An official instrumental may be a better source when available. Separation does not grant rights to publish a cover or reuse a recording.
How do I make a karaoke track from a song?
Describe the singing vocals as the source to separate, then keep Background audio for the accompaniment. Review the opening, chorus, and ending before downloading the WAV.
Does the karaoke maker create lyrics on screen?
No. It produces separated audio tracks. You can add lyrics or a lyric video separately in your chosen editing or karaoke software.
Can I keep backing vocals?
You can try requesting the lead singing voice and keeping the remaining mix. Lead and backing singers may overlap, so the tool cannot guarantee that only the lead will be removed.
Can I change the song's key or tempo?
This workflow separates a source; it does not perform key or tempo changes. Make those adjustments separately and check the audio after processing.
What does downloading the karaoke backing cost?
Downloads require an account and sufficient credits. The results screen shows the credit cost before downloading, and the pricing page lists the available credit options.
