What Is a Karaoke Maker?
A karaoke maker is a tool that turns a song into a sing-along backing track by removing the singer's voice. Stem Splitter AI's karaoke maker removes only the lead vocal and keeps the harmonies, can leave the lead in quietly as a guide, shifts the key up to 6 semitones and the speed from 50% to 150%, saves MP3, WAV, or MP4 from a music video, and scrolls lyrics you time yourself, saved as an LRC file.
How do you check the karaoke track before you download?
The karaoke maker separates the first 30 seconds of your song for free. Play the chorus: the lead singer should be gone while the harmonies and backing vocals stay. Turn the guide vocal up to hear the melody quietly underneath, and change the key or speed to hear the result before you pay for anything.
Lyrics are free to time and play in the karaoke maker on any song file you choose in the lyrics panel, so you can check that every line lands in time before you download the full backing track.
How is a karaoke maker different from a plain vocal remover?
A vocal remover takes out every voice, which leaves the chorus of most songs empty. This karaoke maker uses a lead-vocal model: it removes the main singer and keeps the backing vocals, so the "oohs", answers, and stacked choruses are still there to sing with.
The second half of a karaoke track is the words. Paste the lyrics under the split, tap once as each line starts while the song plays, and the lines scroll and highlight in time. Save them as an LRC file, the synced-lyrics format most karaoke and music players read.
| Feature | Vocal remover | This karaoke maker |
|---|---|---|
| Lead vocal | Removed | Removed, or kept quietly as a guide |
| Backing vocals | Removed | Kept |
| Key and speed | As recorded | Up to ±6 semitones, 50–150% speed |
| Lyrics | None | Scrolling lyrics, saved as LRC |
| Video | Audio only | MP4 with the music video kept |
What makes most homemade karaoke tracks hard to sing?
A karaoke maker can return a technically clean backing track that is still awkward to sing. The original key sits a few notes too high for most people. Without the harmonies the chorus feels bare. Without any trace of the melody, the first verse is guesswork if you do not know the song inside out.
Then there are the words. A typical free karaoke maker either skips lyrics entirely or puts them in a paid video editor, and automatically transcribed lyrics often mishear lines. Reading the words off a phone while you try to sing defeats the point.
Why make your karaoke track here?
Harmonies kept
Only the lead singer is removed, so the choruses still sound full and backing parts still answer you.
Guide vocal when you need it
The karaoke maker can bring the original singer back in quietly to follow the melody, then turn it off once you know the song.
Your key, your speed
Lower or raise the song by up to six semitones in the karaoke maker and slow it down for practice, with the change heard in the preview first.
Lyrics that scroll in time
Paste the words, tap along once, and get a full-screen lyrics view that highlights each line as it comes up.
Keep the music video
Upload a music video and get it back as MP4 with the picture, or as MP3 for a speaker or a phone.
Why do you time the lyrics yourself?
The words are exactly right
An AI karaoke maker that transcribes lyrics stumbles on sung vowels, slang, and other languages. Lyrics you paste are the lyrics you sing, and tapping once per line takes about as long as the song itself.
One timing for every version
The karaoke maker keeps the length of the song, so lyrics timed on the original line up with the karaoke track and the guide-vocal mix at the same speed. Fix any line by tapping it again, or shift every line by a tenth of a second.
What do you need to make karaoke?
The karaoke maker needs a song file for the backing track, and the lyrics as text.
| Input | Details |
|---|---|
| Audio | MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus |
| Video | MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, MKV; save karaoke as MP4 with the picture |
| File size | Up to 2 GB |
| Lyrics | Pasted text, one line per row, or an existing LRC file |
| Free | 30-second preview of the backing track; lyrics timing and playback always free |
| Output | Karaoke MP3, WAV, or MP4; lead vocal on its own; lyrics as LRC |

Which tool gives you the track you want to sing?
A karaoke maker is one of several ways to split a song.
| What you need | Tool | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Music to sing over, harmonies kept | Karaoke Maker | Backing track and scrolling lyrics |
| Only the vocals | Vocal Isolator | Acapella and beat |
| A bigger key change or any song’s speed | Pitch Changer | ±12 semitones, MP3 or WAV |
| Every part separated | Stem Splitter | Six stems |
| The song’s key before you choose a shift | BPM & Key Finder | Key and tempo |
Where do your song and lyrics go?
The karaoke maker uploads the song only to remove the vocal, and the upload and the karaoke track are deleted after 24 hours. Lyrics never leave your browser: timing, playback, and the LRC file all happen on your device. Use songs you have the right to use.
Karaoke maker FAQ
Is the karaoke maker free?
The 30-second preview of the backing track is free without an account, and timing and playing lyrics is always free. A full-length karaoke download is charged by the song’s length: 1 free minute comes with a new account, and packs start at $1.99.
Does the karaoke maker find the lyrics for me?
No. Paste the lyrics yourself, or open an LRC file you already have. Pasted lyrics are always the right words, and tapping along to time them takes one play of the song.
Will the backing vocals stay in the karaoke track?
Yes. The lead vocal is removed and the harmonies and backing vocals are kept. If you want every voice gone, use the vocal isolator and download the beat.
Can I change the key of the karaoke track?
Yes. The key shifts up to six semitones up or down, and the speed runs from 50% to 150%. You hear the change in the preview before you download. For a full octave, use the pitch changer on the finished track.
What is an LRC file?
A plain text file with a time stamp before each lyric line. Many karaoke apps, media players such as VLC and foobar2000, and car stereos read it to show synced lyrics. It also lets you reopen your timing here later.
Can I make a karaoke video?
Upload a music video and the track is saved as MP4 with the original picture. The scrolling lyrics screen can go full screen next to it for a party or a rehearsal.
Do the lyrics line up if I change the speed?
The lyric timing follows the file you load. Time them on the version you will sing with, or retime the few lines that drift.
