## Overview

Creates a karaoke-style mix by phase-canceling the center channel (vocals) and cleaning the result with gentle filtering. Strength and band limits are adjustable to balance vocal reduction and music fidelity.

## Inputs

- **Audio File** (file): Select a stereo audio file
- **Vocal Removal Strength (0-1.5)** (range): How aggressively to cancel centered vocals (1 = full phase cancel).
- **High-Pass Cutoff (Hz)** (range): Remove muddy lows after vocal cancellation.
- **Low-Pass Cutoff (Hz)** (range): Limit harsh highs and artifacts.
- **Output Format** (select)

## When to use

- When you want to create a karaoke version of a song for singing along at home or events.
- When you need an instrumental track for background music, remixing, or audio projects.
- When practicing vocals or instruments without the original vocal interference in a stereo recording.

## How it works

- Upload a stereo audio file in a supported format like MP3 or WAV.
- Adjust the vocal removal strength from 0 to 1.5 to control how aggressively centered vocals are canceled.
- Set high-pass and low-pass cutoff frequencies to filter out unwanted audio artifacts after cancellation.
- Select an output format such as MP3, AAC, or WAV and download the processed file.

## Use cases

- Creating karaoke tracks for home parties or social gatherings.
- Generating instrumental versions for music practice or production workflows.
- Removing vocals from songs for cover recordings or audio editing projects.
