How to Create an Instrumental Track

Finding instrumental-only versions of songs can be difficult unless it’s widely popular music.
If you want to get background music from lesser-known songs, you have to make them by your own means. LALAL.AI is your helping hand in this endeavor. The service uses state-of-art AI technology to separate vocal and instrumental stems and provide you with the minus one-like high-quality backing tracks. Follow the steps below to create instrumentals out of any songs for karaoke, DJ sets, mashups, song covers, and other purposes.

1. Open LALAL.AI in your browser.
2. Click Select Files to upload your audio or video file. The service supports MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, AVI, MP4, MKV, AIFF, AAC formats.
3. Within the opened folder window, double click the song you want to upload.
4. Wait a few seconds until the processing is complete.
5. Listen to the stem previews. Click the crossed speaker sign to mute one or the other stem, then click (‎▶) for playback.

Tip: If you think that the previews sound overcompressed, or you hear the sounds of one stem leaking into another, try turning off the Enhanced Processing feature.

Click the settings icon located to the left of the previews. Find Enhanced Processing in the drop-down menu and turn it off. Click the Create New Previews button.

6. (This step applies only to premium users) Select the output format. If you want to get the results in the same format as the file you uploaded, skip this step.

If you want to export the results in another format, click the arrow on the Split in Full button and pick a format from the drop-down list.

7. Click the Split in Full button.
8. Click the download icon (⤓) within the Instrumental [Full] section.

The resulting files will be downloaded in the same format as the file you originally uploaded, unless you performed the sixth step. The download links to the extracted instrumental and vocal tracks will also be sent to your email.
