What makes a great AI karaoke maker?
🎚️ Clean vocal removal
A noisy karaoke track ruins the experience. Our three-model ensemble (SDR 12.97 dB) leaves almost no lead vocal artifacts in the instrumental.
🎤 Time-synced LRC lyrics
LRC files work in nearly every karaoke player — VLC, Walaoke, MiniLyrics, KaraFun, custom Pi rigs — for word-level highlighting as the song plays.
🌐 Works in 100+ languages
Whisper Large handles English, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, and more. No language switch needed — it auto-detects.
📺 Subtitle (SRT) export too
Want to overlay lyrics on a karaoke music video in Premiere or DaVinci? Use the included SRT file directly.
🔉 Loudness-normalized
EBU R128 loudnorm keeps the karaoke backing at a consistent perceived level across songs — your karaoke playlist doesn't jolt up or down between tracks.
🎵 320 kbps MP3 or lossless
Pick MP3 320 for portable karaoke players, or WAV/FLAC for studio-quality re-mastering.
What is a karaoke LRC file?
An LRC file is a plain-text lyrics file with timestamps before every line, like [01:23.45]I will always love you. Karaoke players read those timestamps and highlight each line at the right moment, just like the dot bouncing across the screen in a classic karaoke video.
Most karaoke software supports LRC out of the box: VLC, MiniLyrics, Walaoke, KaraFun, MusicBee, foobar2000 with plugins, Plex's karaoke mode, and almost every modern Android karaoke app. Our karaoke maker generates the LRC automatically from the isolated vocal stem, so the timing matches the actual sung phrases — not just a generic lyric scrape.
Tips for a better karaoke result
- Pick a studio master if you can. A live recording with audience noise will produce a messier vocal split than a studio master.
- Songs with heavy ad-libs or layered harmonies may leave some backing vocals in the karaoke track — that's intentional. The model targets the lead vocal melody specifically.
- Want a tighter LRC? Use the larger Whisper model (default on the server). For Thai, Japanese, and other non-Latin languages, the LRC line breaks follow phrase boundaries detected by Whisper.
- Pitch-shift if needed. If a song is out of your range, take the WAV instrumental into Audacity or your DAW and shift the pitch up or down by a few semitones.
Frequently asked questions
Will the karaoke instrumental have lyrics embedded?
No — the lyrics come as a separate LRC/SRT file. That's how karaoke players expect it: the instrumental is just music, the lyrics file syncs on top.
Can I use the karaoke instrumental commercially?
You are responsible for clearing rights with the song's rights holder. Personal karaoke (home, parties) is generally fine; broadcasting on YouTube or in a venue may need licenses.
How accurate are the auto-generated lyrics?
Very accurate for studio recordings in major languages. Live recordings, heavy effects, or rare languages reduce accuracy. The text file always lets you hand-correct if needed.
Does it work for non-English songs?
Yes — Thai, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, and 90+ more. The pipeline auto-detects the language.
Is the karaoke maker actually free?
Yes. 1 song per day at full Studio quality including the lyrics file. Patreon Pro = 20/day.
How does this compare to dedicated karaoke services?
Dedicated services (KaraFun, Smule) have curated catalogs but limited song selection. Our tool works on any song you upload — the trade-off is a slightly less polished UI than a pre-built karaoke library.
