How to Remove Drums and Percussion
Drums extraction and removal are sought after by drummers to practice playing the drums to their favorite songs, as well as by DJs and beatmakers for making drum fills and loops. Drums and percussion isolation from the mix is about as easy as the extraction of flour and eggs from a loaf of baked bread, but the rapidly evolving technologies make the impossible possible! Here is how you can use LALAL.AI, the AI-powered stem separation service, to singlehandedly isolate all percussion instruments as a single track and remove drums from any song or video.
- Open LALAL.AI in your browser.
- Click the Vocal and Instrumental button to open the Stem Separation Types list.
- Select the Drums option in the drop-down menu.
- Click Select Files to upload your audio or video file. The service supports MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, AVI, MP4, MKV, AIFF, AAC formats.
- Listen to the stem previews. Click the crossed speaker sign to mute one or the other stem, then click (▶) for playback.
- (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.
- Click the Split in Full button.
- Click the Download All button to save both stems at the same time.
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.
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.
Alternatively, you can download them individually by clicking the download icon (⤓) next to the stems. The download links to both stems will also be sent to your email.
The resulting files will be downloaded in the same format as the file you originally uploaded, unless you performed the sixth step.
