1994 CD Vocal Removal
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have one track ripped directly from a 1994 commercial CD and I need the lead vocals stripped out so I can use the song for karaoke. Please return a clean instrumental in MP3 format; the closer it sounds to a studio-quality backing track, the better.
If the vocal extraction process dulls or unbalances the music, I’m open to tasteful enhancement or light mastering—EQ, gentle compression, small touch-ups—so long as the original feel of the song is preserved. I’m still undecided on whether that step is necessary, so I’d appreciate your professional ear and a quick A/B preview before you commit to extra processing.
You’ll receive the original track as a lossless rip. I’m happy with fast, AI-assisted stem separation (iZotope RX, Demucs, Spleeter, etc.) as long as artifacts are kept to a minimum.
Acceptance criteria:
• Vocals removed to the point they are not distracting when sung over
• Track length and structure identical to the original
• Delivered as a 320 kbps MP3 (or higher if interim format is cleaner)
Let me know your estimated turnaround and any questions you have about the source file.
