The vocal on its own, as this site separates it.

How to compare the two yourself

  1. Step 1

    Pick one song

    Use a song you have the rights to, ideally the kind you usually work with.

  2. Step 2

    Split it in both

    Upload it here and in LALAL.AI, and listen to the vocal and instrumental from each (on its free plan, as a preview).

  3. Step 3

    Listen at the same point

    Here you can move between voice and music while it plays. Judge with your own headphones.

Where the two differ

LALAL.AI separates vocals, drums, bass, piano, guitars, synths, strings and wind instruments, and offers voice tools such as a voice cleaner and an echo and reverb remover. It runs on the web, as desktop and phone apps, as plugins and through an API. Its plans are counted in minutes, and a separation with several stem types uses minutes for each type.

InverseAI Podcast splits a song into two stems (vocals and instrumental) and lets you hear any balance between them before you download. Its limits are counted as audio per file and per day, and downloading either stem is free on every plan. Cleaning up speech is a separate tool on the same site.

When LALAL.AI may suit you better

  • You need individual instruments, such as drums, bass, piano or guitar, as their own stems.
  • You want a desktop or phone app, a plugin for your audio software, or an API.
  • You want voice tools such as splitting lead from backing vocals.

When InverseAI Podcast may suit you better

  • You only need the vocal and the instrumental.
  • You want to try straight away: without an account you get 3 files up to 3 minutes each, 6 minutes in total, with no sign-up.
  • You want to download both stems, and your own mix, on a free plan.
  • Your files are long: Premium takes up to 5 hours per file, 10 hours of audio per day, and fair use of 100 hours per 30 days.
