Step-by-step guide
Turn any song you own into a karaoke track at home — on-device AI removes the vocals in about 30 seconds and the lyrics sync themselves. Here's exactly how, start to finish.
To make your own karaoke track, use AI vocal removal software. Install Beltr, add a song you own, and its on-device AI removes the lead vocal in about 30 seconds — nothing is uploaded. The lyrics sync to the music automatically, so you can put it on your TV and sing, or export the karaoke track (including MP3+G). How clean it sounds depends on the song's mix.
Step by step
Download Beltr for Mac, Windows, or Linux. It runs the AI locally on your machine, so your song is never uploaded to a server — and it's a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Drop in a music file you already have — MP3, FLAC, or WAV from your own library. Beltr works on your music, so you're not limited to a fixed catalog.
Beltr's on-device AI (Demucs) removes the lead vocal in about 30 seconds, right on your computer, leaving a clean instrumental to sing over.
The lyrics line up with the music on their own, scrolling in time as the song plays. You can also fetch different lyrics or fine-tune the timing if you want.
Put it on your TV and sing while guests join from their phones as remotes — or export the finished karaoke track, including MP3+G for karaoke machines.
The honest part
AI vocal removal is dramatically better than the old "cancel the center channel" tricks, and on well-recorded songs the karaoke instrumental can sound remarkably clean. But it isn't magic: separation quality varies by song. Densely layered, heavily processed, or lo-fi tracks are harder to separate cleanly than a clear studio recording, and you may hear faint traces of the vocal. That's exactly why the 5-song free trial exists: make karaoke from your actual songs before you buy, on your own machine, with nothing uploaded.
Why on your own computer
Most online karaoke makers make you upload your file and pay every month. Beltr does it locally, once.
Because Beltr runs the AI on your device, your music never leaves your computer, there's no per-song limit, and it keeps working offline. And instead of just spitting out an instrumental, Beltr turns it into a whole karaoke setup — synced lyrics on the TV, phones as remotes, live scoring. One payment of $19.99, yours forever.
