Hello! I want to find the instrumental version (no vocals, only instruments) of a song (devils in the mist by overkill) but can't find it anywhere, not on spotify nor YouTube nor Googling it... Any tips?

Its not my cleanest attempt at removing vocals; but it may be good enough for you?

Audacity and voice removal tutorials on YouTube are a good place to start.

no worries! like @NegativeInf said, Audacity is a great place to start. Its open source, and there's lots of step by step help online about how to use it and do the things

I tried using vocalremover.org, but this also seems very powerful, thanks for the tip!

Koala Sampler can also do this locally on your phone with the upgrade that's <$10

Did you use google-fu?

Aka... the different options you can add to your search text to refine results?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

How can I use it in this case?

AI can split stems pretty well now. You could even do it on your phone

We've come a long way in the past couple years. This tech is how we got a new Beatles song too.

Overkill is a bit of a niche band, it's likely no one has done it, and I don't believe they officially release their own instrumentals.

You'd have to probably do it yourself by removing the center channel of the audio, like the other commenter said. It's ghetto, but its probably the closest you'd get short of arranging and making an instrumental cover yourself, or somehow contacting the band and getting them to release it themselves.

I'm literally not able to play a single instrument so I can try to contact the band, probably without answer but never say never, thanks!
