Free Vocal Isolator
A vocal isolator pulls the voice out of a recording and leaves it alone on its own track: the acapella. Veena's is free in your browser, inside an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Drop in your recording, isolate the vocals, solo the voice and export it, or let CoProducer build a new song under it.
Most vocal isolators end at a download button. In Veena the isolated vocal lands on a timeline, next to a mixer, a microphone input and a producer who can write drums, bass and chords to its phrasing.
Who the vocal isolator is for
- Producers and remixers working from their own recordings: a demo, a band take, an old bounce.
- Singers who want to hear a lead vocal on its own to study its phrasing or learn a harmony.
- Songwriters who want to keep a vocal and rebuild everything around it.
- Video makers who want the voice from a clip, or the clip with a new instrumental under it.
How to isolate vocals from a recording, step by step
- Open daw.veena.studio and sign in with Google. Nothing to install; it runs in your browser.
- Upload the recording. Click Upload in the transport bar or drag the file onto the timeline. WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, AIFF and CAF all import.
- Type "isolate the vocals" to CoProducer. Two time-aligned tracks appear: vocals and instrumental.
- Solo the vocals track. What plays is the acapella.
- Export. Open Export from the account menu and choose a 24-bit/48 kHz WAV or a 320 kbps MP3, with no watermark.
Isolate vocals, remove them, or split everything
| You want | Do this in Veena | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| The voice alone | Ask CoProducer to isolate the vocals, solo the vocals track | An acapella, lined up with the original |
| The music alone | Mute the vocals track | An instrumental for a new vocal or a backing track |
| Every part | Right-click the clip, choose Separate into Stems | Vocals, drums, bass and other on four tracks |
| The voice from a video | Import the video, Separate Audio, then isolate the vocals | The voice as audio, or the video with a new instrumental |
The first two rows are one split. For the instrumental side in depth, the free vocal remover walks through karaoke keys, loops and recording over the result, and the stem splitter goes deeper on drums, bass and other.
What an isolated vocal is for
- A remix of your own track. Keep the voice, change the genre: "rebuild this as 90s R&B at the same tempo".
- A new arrangement. CoProducer measures the take first, its tempo, its downbeat and where each syllable lands, and writes every new part to that phrasing.
- A harmony or a double. Record yourself over the isolated vocal, then tune the take to the song's key with the Auto-Tune effect.
- A melody for another instrument. CoProducer transcribes the vocal to MIDI and plays it on any of Veena's instrument presets, the idea behind voice to instrument.

Try this in Veena
Isolate the vocals from my recording and keep them exactly as they are, then build a new song under the voice: 96 BPM warm R&B drums with a soft rim click, a round bass that follows the vocal phrasing, Electric Piano chords in the song's key, and a 4-bar drum dropout before each chorus.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free vocal isolator?
Yes. Veena is an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Describe the song you want and CoProducer builds it with you — beats, chords, melody, arrangement and mix — as real tracks you can edit, mix and export. Free, in your browser. Isolating vocals from a recording is part of the free studio, and exports have no cap and no watermark.
How do I isolate vocals from a song?
Open daw.veena.studio, sign in with Google and upload the recording. Type isolate the vocals to CoProducer and Veena places two time-aligned tracks, one named vocals and one named instrumental. Solo the vocals track and what plays is the isolated voice. Export it as a 24-bit WAV or a 320 kbps MP3.
Can I make an acapella from a recording?
Yes. Import your own recording, such as a demo, a band take or an old bounce, and ask CoProducer to isolate the vocals. The acapella lands on its own track, lined up with the original. Export it on its own, or keep it in the session and build a new arrangement under it.
What is the difference between a vocal isolator and a vocal remover?
They are one job seen from opposite sides. A vocal isolator keeps the voice and a vocal remover keeps the music. Veena's split gives you both at once: a vocals track and an instrumental track, so you can solo either one, export it on its own or build on it.
Can I isolate vocals from a video?
Yes. Import an MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI or M4V into Veena, right-click it for Separate Audio, then isolate the vocals on the audio clip. Solo the vocals track and export the voice as a WAV or MP3, or mute it and export an MP4 with the new instrumental under the picture.
Can I get all four stems, not only the vocals?
Yes. Right-click the clip and choose Separate into Stems. Veena places vocals, drums, bass and other on four tracks, lined up with the original and with the original muted beside them. Export every track as its own file in a zip, with no cap and no watermark on the free plan.
What can I do with an isolated vocal in Veena?
Build a new band under it. Ask CoProducer for drums, bass and chords that follow the vocal's phrasing in its tempo and key, as real tracks you can edit. You can also tune the voice with Veena's Auto-Tune effect, balance it with AI mixing, or turn its melody into MIDI for another instrument.
