Looking for a vocalremover.org alternative? Full stems, custom mixes, and the chords.
A basic vocal remover gives you two tracks. ChordSonic splits the song into separate stems, lets you build any mix, and finds the chord progression, key and tempo — all free.
The short answer.
If all you want is the fastest free way to split a song into vocals and music right in the browser, vocalremover.org does that well and there's no queue.
ChordSonic is the better fit when two tracks isn't enough: it separates full stems — drums, bass, guitar, piano, vocals — so you can build a custom backing track, and it reads the chord progression, key and tempo off the song.
It's a quick two-track split vs full stems plus a chord chart. For a fast karaoke cut, either works; for stems and chords, that's the gap ChordSonic fills.

Three reasons we hear over and over.
- 01
Two tracks isn't enough
Vocals-vs-music is fine for a quick karaoke cut, but if you want to mute just the drums, solo the bass, or keep the piano, you need real stems. ChordSonic separates them all and lets you pick.
- 02
You want to build a custom backing track
Toggle any combination of stems on or off and download exactly the mix you want — vocals-only, drums-and-bass, instrumental, whatever the practice or remix calls for.
- 03
You want the chords as well
Once the track is split, ChordSonic detects the chord progression, key and tempo and puts them on a timeline you can transpose and export. A two-track remover gives you audio and stops there.
Frequently asked
Is ChordSonic free?
Yes — a free daily separation quota with no signup and no card. A free account raises the quota, and a paid tier is in the works for heavier use. Like vocalremover.org, you can remove vocals without paying.
How is this different from a basic vocal remover?
A basic vocal remover gives you two tracks: vocals and everything-else. ChordSonic separates the song into individual stems — drums, bass, guitar, piano, vocals and the rest — and lets you build a custom mix from them. It also detects the chord progression, key and tempo, which a two-track splitter doesn't do.
I just want a quick instrumental — can ChordSonic do that?
Yes. The default mix drops the vocal and gives you a clean instrumental, same end result as a basic vocal remover. If you only ever want the fastest possible vocals-vs-music split in the browser, vocalremover.org is great at exactly that; ChordSonic is for when you want more stems or the chords too.
Does ChordSonic give me the chords?
Yes — that's the main reason to use it. After separating the track it detects the full chord progression, key and tempo, lays them on a timeline you can transpose, and exports to TXT, CSV or JSON. vocalremover.org is separation-only.
What audio formats can I upload?
MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, FLAC and AIFF, up to 50 MB. Anonymous uploads stay private to your session and are wiped within 24 hours.
