Quick answer

Upload an MP3 or WAV file, separate the mixed recording, and download the Instrumental output. Preview both tracks first to hear whether the backing track works for your purpose.

Start with the song file you already have

Use an audio file saved on your device. If you have several versions, choose the clearest original recording available. A direct audio export is a better starting point than a phone recording with room noise, although no source guarantees perfect separation.

MP3 and WAV are supported inputs. Check that the file plays correctly and meets the limits shown in TuneStem before uploading.

Remove the vocals in TuneStem

  1. Upload your song.Choose Upload audio, select your file, and start separation.
  2. Listen to the instrumental on its own.Mute Vocals and play Instrumental. Playing both together brings the singing back into the preview.
  3. Download the backing track.Save Instrumental, then open the downloaded file to confirm its beginning and ending are complete.

Check whether the instrumental works for your purpose

Listen to a verse, a busy chorus, and the ends of vocal phrases. Some backing vocals or reverb may remain, and parts of the instruments can change too.

For singing practice, try singing over the preview. The karaoke backing-track guide covers entrances, range, and rehearsal with the finished file. For a cover or further editing, compare the music with the original and listen for missing notes, thin instruments, or unusual sounds between phrases.

If the result is distracting and you have a cleaner original recording, try that source and compare. Removing vocals cannot guarantee a completely voice-free result; the remaining-vocals guide explains the most common causes.
