Frequently Asked Questions
How does vocal removal work - AI vs L-R method?
This tool uses the classic L-R (Left minus Right) phase inversion method, which subtracts one channel from the other to cancel center-panned content. Unlike AI-based tools that analyze and separate audio sources, this method is instant and works directly with the stereo field. It's most effective on tracks with centered vocals and panned instruments.
Does this work on all songs?
The L-R method works best on stereo tracks where vocals are panned dead center and instruments are spread across the stereo field. Modern pop and rock songs typically work well. It's less effective on mono recordings, heavily compressed tracks, or songs where vocals and bass occupy the same center position. Results vary by mixing technique.
Why does it also affect bass and other instruments?
Because bass and kick drums are typically mixed in the center (like vocals), the L-R method will also reduce or remove these center elements. This is a characteristic limitation of the technique - it removes all centered audio, not just vocals. AI-based separators can isolate vocals more precisely but require more processing time.
Can I use this with mono audio files?
No, the L-R method requires stereo files with distinct left and right channels. Mono files have identical information in both channels, so the subtraction would result in silence. For best results, always use high-quality stereo recordings. You can check if your file is stereo by looking at the file information displayed after upload.
