What it is
VocalDrop is a free desktop application for extracting vocals from songs stored on a computer. Each separation can provide an isolated vocal stem and an instrumental stem, supporting sampling, remixing, editing, or karaoke. Fast and Max modes use RoFormer-family models, with model choices varying for some hardware. The app can also take audio from a video, separate it, and place a selected stem back into synchronized video. Users may paste links from YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, TikTok, and more than a thousand other sites for fetching. Optional processing includes denoising, AI vocal restoration, silence removal, and audio-format conversion. Processing is local according to the maker, and track contents are not uploaded. After the required model download, separation can run offline. A command-line interface provides JSON output for pipelines. VocalDrop runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with batch processing available.
