How to remove vocals from a WAV file
WAV files preserve every bit of the recording, so they are the best possible source for vocal separation — assuming the mix itself is good. VocalSplit takes full advantage of that fidelity in both directions: lossless in, lossless out.
Because WAV is uncompressed, files are large (roughly 10 MB per minute at CD quality). Processing takes slightly longer than MP3 — expect 20–30 seconds for a typical track instead of 15.
Step-by-step
- Open VocalSplit.io. No installs, no account, no download. Just the browser.
- Upload your WAV file. Drag and drop, or click to browse. Files up to 100 MB are supported, which covers most songs in 16-bit/44.1 kHz WAV.
- Pay for the split. Single split is $0.99. If you have more than a handful of songs to process, the 10-pack at $4.99 ($0.50/split) pays for itself quickly.
- Wait 20–30 seconds. WAV sources take slightly longer than MP3 because there is more audio data to analyse, but the separator is still fast.
- Download lossless 24-bit WAV stems. Both vocals and instrumental come back as 24-bit WAV — ready to drop into any DAW session without conversion.
Tips for better results
- If your WAV is 32-bit float, convert it to 16 or 24-bit first to stay under the 100 MB limit.
- Stereo and mono both work. Mono files are separated just as cleanly as stereo.
- For very long tracks (over 15 minutes), consider splitting into sections first so you stay under the size cap.
