Frequently Asked Questions

Will it work in my browser?

Music Demixer works best on modern computers with up-to-date browsers. We run a quick compatibility check and choose the safest mode. If you need help, visit Support.

What audio formats are supported?

MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A/AAC, OGG, AIFF, and most common formats. If something needs conversion, the app handles it automatically.

How does the 3-day free trial work / can I cancel anytime?

What should I expect from Lead + Backing separation?

You'll get two vocal stems. Lead targets the main vocal line; Backing collects harmonies, doubles, and stacks. Some bleed is normal in dense mixes. If you only need karaoke (no vocals), use Remove Vocals.

Split Lead + Backing Vocals

Two vocal stems: Lead and Backing (harmonies, doubles, stacks).

Lead + Backing Vocal Separation

Music Demixer splits vocals into two stems: Lead Vocals and Backing Vocals (background vocals). Backing includes harmonies, doubles, and stacked chorus layers — so you can work with the main vocal separately from the supporting vocals.

What you get

  • Lead Vocals: the main vocal line
  • Backing Vocals: harmonies, doubles, stacks, and background layers

When to use this (and when not to)

Use Lead + Backing when you want vocals kept but separated by role. If you want karaoke / instrumental (no vocals), use Remove Vocals instead.

Common uses

  • Practice: mute the lead to sing harmonies, or isolate the lead to study phrasing and pitch.
  • Production: rebalance lead vs backing levels, or edit the lead without affecting stacks.
  • Remixes: pull a lead hook without background doubles for cleaner vocal stems.
  • Choirs & ensembles: build rehearsal tracks where lead and backing parts are separated.

Tips for best results

  • Dense harmonies and stacked choruses are supported, but some bleed is normal in busy mixes.
  • If you need full instrument splits, use Stem Separation.

How to get started

  1. Upload a song (MP3/WAV and most common formats).
  2. Select Lead + Backing Vocals in Vocal Studio.
  3. Download your two vocal stems.
