I have a family concert with my son coming up and he wants to sing a certain medley of songs. I have an audio of the medley and am looking to use it just the once without the existing vocal track. Is there software that works so that it can use to remove the existing vocal track to allow my son’s voice with dominate? I understand the legality etc, but the concert is a private family affair and the medley will most likely only be performed just the once.
Take a look at this site
There are tons of programs that do that.
My favorite is RipX followed closely by SongMaster Pro. Both of those programs do a terrific job of stem separation and removing vocals is pretty trivial for them. Neither of these are free, however.
There are several online free programs that do stem separation but I don’t know how good they are.
If you own Studio One (version 7) it does stem separation pretty well, so you can mute the vocal track and do what you like with the rest. If you don’t own it, there’s a 30 day free trial that I believe is fully functional.
SongMaster will also do stem separation, which is what I generally use to remove parts.
Audacity can also do this (for free).
I think you have to install another plugin and I’m not sure the results are anywhere as good as the commercial tools I mentioned
Many thanks for all the help. Cheers!
Once again - what a great forum this is:)
While I agree with David, this:
… means that super-duper quality is not a high demand here to splurge >100 USD.
This one is free/open source and does a solid job: https://ultimatevocalremover.com/

If you’re on a more recent Mac Logic Pro can die this. Free 90 day trial available. Pretty sure the new Spectralayers 12 has a demo as well. PC and Mac.
Moises also a good one. You can get this on smartphone as well as web based.
I didn’t know there were open source stem splitters yet. Just tried out the above, and it seems quite good and pretty fast (on my system with a GPU). Splits out into the usual vocal, bass, drums, the rest combination. Also provides an “instrumental” which is the combination of everything but the vocals.
Haven’t tried the other open source one yet.

Thanks for all the replies. I actually had my son do the job using Audacity. The finished result sounds great. And glitch free.
