How Vocal remover (karaoke) works
Vocal remover makes a karaoke version of a song by cancelling the centre of the stereo image, the place where lead vocals usually sit. Drop a stereo track, choose a stereo or mono output, and download the result. It runs through ffmpeg (a `pan` filter) compiled to WebAssembly.
Be realistic about what this does: it is phase cancellation, not AI separation. It subtracts the left and right channels, which removes whatever is panned dead-centre, often the lead vocal, but also centred bass, kick and snare. On some mixes it works surprisingly well; on others it barely changes anything or leaves obvious artefacts. It never perfectly isolates a voice, and there is no account and no watermark.
