To remove an instrument from a song, upload the song to an AI tool made for that instrument, and download the version "without" it. Each of our instrument tools gives you two files: the song without that part, and the part on its own. It works for drums, guitar, bass, piano, keys, synth, strings, wind and more.
Here is how to pick the right tool and get a clean result.
An equalizer turns frequencies up or down. The trouble is that instruments share frequencies. Cutting the low end to lose the bass also guts the kick drum and the warmth of the voice.
AI separation works differently. The model learned what a bass guitar sounds like. It pulls that sound out and leaves the rest, even where they overlap in pitch.
| You want to remove | Use | Files you get |
|---|---|---|
| Drums | Drum Remover | Without the drums, Drums only |
| Guitar (acoustic and electric) | Guitar Remover | Without the guitar, Guitar only |
| Bass | Bass Remover | Without the bass, Bass only |
| Piano | Piano Extractor | Piano, Without the piano |
| Vocals | Vocal Remover | Instrumental, Vocals only |

The splitting runs in the cloud, so you install nothing. In our test, removing the drums from a 3 minute 22 second song took 88 seconds.
Say you want the song with no drums and no bass, for example to practice bass along with the guitars.
You have two good options:
Splitting once is usually cleaner, because every extra pass can add a little noise.
If you also want the song without vocals, the Instrumental Maker gives you that as its own file.
Most studio songs come out clean. A few things leave traces:
Always listen on headphones before you rely on the file. Small leftovers are usually hidden once you play your own part on top.
Removing an instrument to practice, teach or study is a normal use. Publishing a song you don't own, even with a part removed, needs permission from the owners.
If you play the removed part yourself, a little leftover is rarely a problem. Your playing sits on top and covers it.
Some songs hide unusual parts: a harmonica solo, a horn section, a fiddle line. Each has its own page in the instrument list, from saxophone and trumpet to violin, cello and banjo. They work exactly like the drum and guitar pages, and cost the same 1 credit per minute.
Most common ones, yes: drums, guitar, bass, piano, keys, synth, strings, brass, woodwinds and more. See the instrument tools for the full list.
