Online Tools: Websites like Vocal Remover, PhonicMind, and LALAL.AI allow you to upload a song and extract vocals online.
3. Karaoke Versions
Align the instrumental with the original track.

Experiment with different tools and settings to achieve the best results for your specific track.
Invert the phase of the instrumental track. This can cancel out the instrumental parts, leaving primarily the vocals.
