Separate Male and Female Vocals

How to separate male and female vocals

1. Upload the song. A full song works: the voices are separated straight from the mix. For the cleanest split, you can first take the vocals out with the Acapella Extractor and upload that Vocals file instead.
2. Press Separate male and female voices. The button shows the price: 1 credit for every minute. New accounts start with 5 credits, enough for 5 minutes. Most files take 1 to 3 minutes.
3. Listen, then download. Click a reel to hear Male vocals or Female vocals alone. Each downloads as an MP3 at 320 kbps. Failed jobs are refunded.

Who this is for

Duet singers want to practise their own part against the other singer. Producers and remixers need the two voices on separate channels so they can treat them differently, for example with different effects or panning. Podcast and video editors sometimes get a single mixed track with a man and a woman talking over each other and want to tidy it up. Teachers play a call-and-response song and mute one side.

What works well

The model sorts voices by how they sound, so a clear difference in pitch and tone helps. A deep male voice and a high female voice are the easy case. Results get shakier when:

• a tenor and an alto sing in overlapping ranges,
• both people sing the same note together, so the voices overlap in the same frequencies,
• the vocal still has music or heavy effects on it,
• there is choir or a stack of backing singers instead of one man and one woman.

When the voices overlap, some of one singer can end up in the other file. Listen to both before you use them.

For more than two singers or two voices of the same type, try Separate Singers. For a lead and a backing stack, use Separate Lead and Backing Vocals.
