What is X-Minus?
X-Minus is a long-running site for karaoke and backing tracks, often called minus-one tracks. You can search a large catalog, browse the latest uploads, a Top 50 and categories, and change the key or tempo of a track to suit your voice. Many tracks are uploaded by users, and each is labelled as an arrangement, a filtered track or an official instrumental. Tracks are meant for personal use.
Its AI vocal remover, at x-minus.pro/ai, separates vocals from audio you upload. Besides plain vocal removal it can keep or extract backing vocals, pull out bass, drums, guitar or saxophone, and reduce echo, reverb or crowd noise. The free version limits the finished track to one minute and lets you process up to 15 minutes of audio a day. A Premium version removes the limit.
