Instrumental Maker - Create Instrumentals from Any Song
Transform any song into a professional instrumental track using AI. Youka's instrumental maker removes vocals while preserving every instrument with studio quality.
What is an Instrumental Maker?
An instrumental maker is software that removes vocals from songs, leaving only the music. This creates backing tracks you can use for:
- Karaoke - Sing along to your favorite songs
- Cover songs - Record your own vocals over the original music
- Remixes - Sample and remix instrumentals
- Practice - Learn songs without competing vocals
- Dance - Create instrumental versions for performances
How Youka Creates Instrumentals
AI-Powered Separation
Youka uses deep learning models trained on millions of songs to isolate and remove vocals. Unlike old phase-cancellation methods, AI separation:
- Works on any stereo or mono recording
- Preserves bass, drums, and all instruments
- Handles complex mixes with multiple vocal layers
- Produces clean results without artifacts
The Process
- Upload - Add your song (MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A)
- Process - AI analyzes and separates in under 2 minutes
- Download - Get your clean instrumental
