WHAT IT IS

Why get an instrumental

An instrumental is your song with the vocals removed, keeping the full mixed and mastered music. It is one of the most useful versions to have on hand.

Use it to perform live over the track, to license your beat, for video and content, for karaoke-style versions, or to give a feature artist a clean canvas to record on.

Because we export it from the same session that we mixed and mastered, the instrumental sounds every bit as polished as the main version. Order it with your mix and master, or add it later. Need a clean vocal version too? Add a Radio Edit.

The instrumental is delivered as a mastered WAV at the same level as your release, so it drops into a set or a video without needing any extra sweetening. It is the version most sync libraries and content platforms ask for, and having it ready means you never miss a placement because the music only version was not on hand.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

The music, without the vocals

A finished instrumental

Mixed and mastered to match your vocal version, so the two sound like the same record. Delivered in WAV and MP3.

Level matched to the original

The instrumental is not a quieter afterthought. It sits at the same loudness so you can cut between versions without touching a fader.

Yours to license

Use it for shows, video, sync pitches, content and anything else where the vocal needs to come out.

WHO IT IS FOR

Where an instrumental earns its money

Sync is the big one. Film, TV, adverts and games license instrumentals constantly, because a music supervisor needs the emotion of your record underneath dialogue that is already carrying the words.

Then there is everything you do yourself: performing over your own track, cutting content and video without the vocal fighting a voiceover, running a karaoke or crowd moment in the set, and giving a feature artist something clean to write to.

It is also simply good housekeeping. Most catalogues expect an instrumental to exist, and the time to make one is while the session is still open, not two years later when the stems are on a dead drive.

WHAT TO SEND

Why stems matter for this one

If we mixed the song, nothing. We print the instrumental from the same session, which is why it matches so exactly.

If the song was mixed elsewhere, we need the stems, not the finished stereo file. Pulling a vocal out of a two track is guesswork and it leaves artefacts on exactly the frequencies your lead was sitting in. With stems it is not a removal at all, it is simply a bounce without those channels.

Send 24-bit WAV or AIFF, all stems starting at the same timestamp, named for what they are. Tell us whether backing vocals should stay or go, because that single decision is the difference between an instrumental and a performance track.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you remove vocals from a finished song?

If all that exists is a stereo file, the honest answer is that it is extraction rather than a clean instrumental, and it leaves artefacts. With stems there is nothing to remove, we simply do not print those channels.

Does it include backing vocals?

No. An instrumental is music only. If you want the backing vocals and ad libs left in so you can sing lead over the top, that is a performance track export.

Is the instrumental mastered?

Yes, and level matched to your vocal version so both sit at the same loudness.

What format do I get?

WAV and MP3. Tell us if a licensing brief needs a specific sample rate and we will provide it.

Can I use it for sync?

That is one of the main reasons to have one. You own your record, and the instrumental is delivered to you to license as you like.

Do I need one for every song?

It is priced per song. Most artists do the singles first and fill in the rest of the project when a supervisor or a show actually asks.

Can you make one from a song you did not mix?

Yes, with stems. Send them over and we will tell you what is workable before you pay.

Will it sound the same as the full version?

Identical, minus the vocals. Same mix decisions, same master, same level.
