I am looking for a free software which is able to remove a voice in a song? To just keep the tune, something similar to the karaoke, I do know that not many songs provide only the tune for which there isn't any singing. I have been searching for quite some time as well, but the programs I found did not do just that. I have also read about how impossible it is to achieve with the programs because they only filter out some frequencies and it isn't possible to filter out to the point that only the instrumental part of the song is heard. But nonetheless, I hope someone can come out with a good solution to my problem

try on of these.

I have already tried this software and the fact that is a 'shareware' does not help much. And their voice removal does not actually remove the singing version of the song. Any other suggestions or maybe some technical explanation as to how I can go about doing this would be good.

One method I have found to work quite well uses Audacity, a free, open-source sound editor. Download it if you haven't already got it, its a brilliant piece of software. Now, to remove lyrics, open the song in Audacity. You should see two sound waves appear (left and right, this only works if your song is in Stereo). Click on the small arrow next to the name of the track (to the left of the waves) to get the drop down menu, and choose Split Stereo Track. Now click just under that bar with the name on the bottom (right) track. It should turn purple and be selected. Then go up to the Effect menu, and hit Invert. Now play the song and the lyrics should have mostly disappeared. This only seems to work very well for a few songs, and quite well for most others. Some songs, however, you can't do it.

I kinda rushed that, so if you need any more help using Audacity or following that then PM or email me, or get me on MSN.

It is nearly impossible to filter out voice from a song - trust me i was a sound technician and attempted what you are after countless times. Although you can get some bits of voice with Audacity or Computer Muzys.

I did what you said rvalkass. But it did not work, I am not sure whether I did anything wrong.

I have added you on MSN.

CrazyRob: Did you ever managed to filter out a voice from a song during your job?

I have a "RealTek High Definition Audio" integrated soundcard whose software (specific for that soundcard) can remove voice automatically. The result is not perfect but often it is acceptable. However, the most straightforward way is to download the MIDI file from the web, remove the instrument which plays the notes of the singer, and then convert it into mp3. Goodbye

At Present there is nothing out there at the moment that can remove vocals from a song. The reason being is that vocals have a wide range, there is the original note (called the fundamental) We'll say A (440Hz) and it has frequencies above it (called harmonics) The human voice is very complicated with many fundamentals and such which spread over many frequencies. If you were to E.Q Out (Adjust the frequencies of the song) you would posibly minimize the voice, but you cannot remove it, and just the voice. You can try and remove some of it but would remove other instruments (like guitar).

The Best way is to get a Midi File of the song and use that. There is some software that can turn the midi notes into real sounding instruments (through sampling)
