Deleting vocal tracks from previously recorded MP3 to create your cool Karaoke music is fun and easy to do. You can simply do a search for an instrumental version of the music you like, download a program that will digitally remove the music for you or just follow a few steps do it yourself.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Download of a vocal removal program
  • MP3 of music you wish to convert
Step1
Download an audio editing program like "Audacity" which is a great program and also free. If you want to export your project to an MP3, then you have to also download the "LAME MP3 encoder" from the Audacity site.
Step2
Import the MP3 of your selected music as a "New Project," and then click the arrow next to the track title (the title of your music) and select the "Split Stereo Track" option. Then click the lower track or right channel, and then select the "Invert" button from the "Effects" menu.
Step3
Change the track to "Mono" from the "Track Menus" to remove the vocals from your MP3, and then listen to it to see how it sounds. If it sounds good to you, then export it to an MP3 to finish.

Tips & Warnings

  • There are many programs made to delete vocals for Karaoke. Some of them are free downloads, some aren't. Do a search and find the program which best fits your needs.
  • Make sure you have a high quality stereo recording of your selected music. 128K is good, but 192K is even better.
  • The better your original music selection sounds determines how well it sounds with the vocals removed.
  • You may have to do this a few times before you're happy with your results.
  • This only works with stereo recordings, so be sure of this before you start.
