Vocals Stems

Vocal stems are isolated vocal tracks from a song, typically used in music production, mixing, and remixing. They include separate recordings of lead vocals, backing vocals, harmonies, ad-libs, and sometimes processed effects like reverb and delay. Stems allow producers and engineers to have greater control over the vocal elements, enabling them to adjust levels, apply effects, or manipulate specific vocal parts without affecting the rest of the mix. DJs and remix artists also use vocal stems to create mashups, remixes, or acapella versions of songs.

Using LALAL.AI

LALAL.AI is an AI-powered audio separation tool that allows users to extract vocals, instruments, and other elements from a song. It uses deep learning technology to process audio files and isolate specific tracks, such as vocals, drums, bass, and more, while maintaining high sound quality. LALAL.AI is popular among musicians, producers, DJs, and content creators who need to create acapellas, instrumentals, or remix tracks without access to the original multitrack recordings. It works online, allowing users to upload a file and receive processed stems without needing advanced audio editing skills.

Summary

After testing a few tools for extracting vocals from my favorite songs, I found that LALAL.AI did a great job. I started using it to extract vocal stems from songs I like as I build my collection. Here are a few examples of the vocal stems I was able to get using this tool. I also did some post-processing in my DAW to refine the vocals and isolate the parts I wanted. Overall, I recommend this tool to anyone who is looking to get the vocals of their favorite songs.

The female vocals in this song are so good that I wanted to extract them, especially since its really catchy. It's memorable and stayed in my mind for days.

The male vocals in this song are amazing and wanted to add it to my collection as I like the lyrics.

[Verse 1]
Show me how to heal
Teach me how to hurt
See me at my best
Hold me at my worst
When it comes to patience
Imma never learn
But when it comes to you
I have you comin' first

[Verse 2]
Tell me what's the price of love
I'm tryna work (I'll make it work)
Buy you any bag, any purse
What's the worth?
I can't buy you confidence if you're insecure
You gotta love yourself but I'll say it first

[Chorus]
Til my heart stops, I got love for you
The kind that never stops even when we're gone, yeah
No matter where you go, I'll be here for you
Ain't something you say, it's something you prove

[Verse 3]
Freedom or connection
Don't you make me choose
Trust without possession
Is that breaking through?
Try to label love and tell it how to move
But you can't bottle lightning
You can't give it rules

[Verse 4]
You seeing eye to eye
We got different views
If we go eye for eye
Everybody lose
Blinded by your love
Blinded by your affection
The same wall got us trapped
We caught in protection

Now for a few hype anthems vocals to add to my collection.

I like this Kanye West song. The lyrics "want you to see everything" creates such a powerful emotion that goes with "want you to see all of the lights".

[Intro: Choir]
All of the lights
Lights, lights
All of the lights

[Chorus: Rihanna]
Turn up the lights in here, baby
Extra bright, I want y'all to see this
Turn up the lights in here, baby
You know what I need, want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights

[Post-Chorus: Elly Jackson & Rihanna]
Fast cars, shooting stars
All of the lights, all of the lights
Until it's Vegas everywhere we are (All of the lights)
If you want it, you can get it for the rest of your life
If you want it, you can get it for the rest of your life

[Chorus: Choir]
Turn up the lights in here, baby
Extra bright, I want y'all to see this
Turn up the lights in here, baby
You know what I need, want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights

[Outro: Alicia Keys & Elton John]
Woah, woah
(I tried to tell you, but all I could say was oh)
Woah, woah
(I tried to tell you, but all I could say was oh)
Woah, woah
(I tried to tell you, but all I could say was oh)
Woah, woah
(I tried to tell you, but all I could say)
