Backing track maker

Backing track maker: remove instruments from a song

Drop a song or a video and choose the instruments to remove. The AI separates them from the music: you get the song without them to play along, and each removed instrument on its own, as MP3 or FLAC.

How to make a backing track

  1. Drop your song

    Choose an audio file or a video. You can listen to it here, with its waveform, before you start.

  2. Choose what to remove

    Pick the instruments to take out, sign in and click Make the backing track. Your file is uploaded, then the AI separates the instruments.

  3. Download and play along

    Play the backing track and each removed instrument right on the page, then download them as MP3 or FLAC.

What you get

Tracks the same length as your song:

  • Backing track: the whole song without the instruments you removed, to practice your part or play it over the rest of the band.
  • Each removed instrument: on its own track, to learn the part by ear or reuse it in a remix.

Download them as MP3 at 320 kbps, which plays on any device, or as lossless FLAC (stereo, 44.1 kHz, 16 bit) for DAWs and audio editors. They stay online for 24 hours, then they are deleted.

Works with songs and videos

Drop almost any audio file: MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus, WMA, AIFF and more. Videos work too: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI or WMV, and only their soundtrack is used. Files can be up to 4 GB.

Turn a part into MIDI

Want the notes of an instrument you removed? Drop its track into our audio to MIDI converter and get a MIDI file you can edit in the piano roll, or play with any instrument in your DAW.

Backing track maker FAQ

How do I make a backing track from a song?

Drop the song on this page, choose the instruments to remove, sign in, then click Make the backing track. When the separation is done, download the Backing track: it is the song without those instruments.

Which instruments can I remove?

Vocals, drums, bass, guitar and piano. The rest of the music is grouped as Other instruments. You can remove several at once, as long as at least one stays in the backing track.

Do I get the removed instruments too?

Yes. Each instrument you remove comes as its own track, next to the backing track.

How much does it cost?

The backing track maker uses credits, about 1 credit per 30 seconds of audio, whatever the number of instruments you remove: a 3 minute song costs 7 credits. Credit packs start at 500 credits for $4.99.

Can I make a backing track from a video?

Yes. Drop an MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI or WMV video: its soundtrack is separated.

What format are the tracks in?

FLAC is used by default: stereo, 44.1 kHz, 16 bit and lossless, for DAWs and audio editors. You can pick MP3 at 320 kbps instead, which plays on any device.

What happens to my file?

Your file is uploaded to our servers only to separate the instruments. The file and the tracks are deleted after 24 hours.

Can I use the tracks in public or online?

For practice and private use, go ahead. To publish a cover, play the track in public or use it commercially, you need the rights to the original song.
