How to Make a Karaoke Track (Any Song You Like)

Want to sing your favorite songs without the original vocals, but find no karaoke versions after endless searches? Well, you can try to create a karaoke track on your own by removing the vocals from a song. While older methods manually edit stereo tracks, modern AI-powered tools can isolate the vocal and instrumental parts with greater speed and precision.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to make a karaoke track, empowering you to take center stage and enjoy singing like never before. Here's a quick overview of the tools we are going to use and you can jump to any part you like.

What Is a Karaoke Track

Karaoke, a clipped compound of Japanese for "empty orchestra," is a musical recording that has had the lead vocals removed. A normal song includes the original vocals performed by the singer, while a karaoke track is the same song without the vocals. So, when you listen to a normal song, you hear the singer's voice, but with a karaoke track, you can sing the song yourself as the leading singer. Karaoke tracks help in practice, performances, personalization, and creativity.

To get a high-quality karaoke track, you can do one of these two things: download the pre-made instrumental version of a song directly, or create a karaoke track using a vocal remover. Either way, VideoProc Converter AI can help.
