What is Ultimate Vocal Remover?
Ultimate Vocal Remover, usually called UVR, is a desktop application for splitting songs into stems. Load an audio file and it uses deep neural network models to pull the vocals away from the instruments, giving you an acapella and an instrumental track. It is popular for karaoke, remixing, sampling and practising along with music.
UVR v5 is free and open source and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Everything is processed on your own computer, so there are no upload limits or per-track fees, though a good graphics card speeds things up. The project is supported by donations rather than a paid tier.
