Flute Extractor and Remover

How to extract the flute from a song

1. Upload the song. MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC, up to 10 minutes. The first time, you sign in with Google.
2. Press Extract the flute. The price shows on the button before it runs: 1 credit for every minute of music. A new account starts with 5 credits, enough for one song up to 5 minutes. Most jobs take 1 to 3 minutes.
3. Listen and download. You get two reels: Flute and Without the flute. Click one to hear only that file. Each downloads on its own as an MP3 at 320 kbps.

The flute in a song

The flute plays high, light lines. You hear it in classical pieces, in film themes with a pastoral feel, in jazz, in soul and funk records, and in folk music of many countries. In a pop chorus it often adds a short fill or doubles the melody an octave up.

Flute players use the Flute file to learn a solo by ear, slowing the track down and looping a phrase. Sample makers pick a clean run for a beat. Singers who want a karaoke version without the flute use Without the flute.

Flute, whistle or synth?

A flute playing high can sound like a tin whistle, a recorder or a lead synth. If the part you want is a whistle, try the Whistle Extractor. Clarinet and oboe have a different color but sit in a similar part of the arrangement, so use the Clarinet Extractor or the Oboe Extractor to compare. A sax is a fuller sound; see the Saxophone Extractor. For all woodwinds at once, use the Woodwind Extractor, and for every horn the Wind Instrument Extractor.

To notes

A single flute line turns into a decent draft in Audio to MIDI. Fast trills and breathy notes will need editing.
