Remove lyrics from song
To remove lyrics from song, most people are really trying to remove the vocal—because lyrics aren’t a separate layer by themselves. If you want a karaoke-ready instrumental remover result, the right approach is vocal separation, then a quick preview before export. This is also the same idea as make any song instrumental.
“Lyrics” vs “vocals” (quick clarification)
Lyrics = the words (information)
Vocals = the audio recording that carries those words
So “remove lyrics” usually means: reduce or remove the vocal track.
The simplest way to remove “lyrics” for karaoke
Option A: Karaoke Maker (most direct)
Use Karaoke Maker if you want a karaoke-focused output fast.
Option B: Vocal Remover (clean split)
Use Vocal Remover if you want a straightforward instrumental/vocals separation.
Preview these parts before exporting
Even good separations can leak in:
first chorus
quiet intro/outro
sections with lots of reverb
Preview those spots and you’ll avoid most “I downloaded it and it’s messy” moments.
If you still hear words faintly
That’s usually reverb tails or backing vocals. For tougher tracks, you may need a stem approach (covered in the main guide).
