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?

Did the artist officially release an instrumental version? If not, you’ll have to find someone who manually tried doing it by removing the center channel or lowering the mid frequencies, or do those things yourself. It affects the overall sound of the song though.
Probably not or it would be on yt I guess… If I can’t find anything I’ll try to do as you suggest, thanks!
Its not my cleanest attempt at removing vocals; but it may be good enough for you?
wow thanks for doing it for me! the result is actually pretty good, I’d like to learn how to do this
thank you very much!!!
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 appreciate the effort that goes into this.
AI can split stems pretty well now. You could even do it on your phone
I tried using vocalremover.org and the result is… perfect. I’m astonished. thank you very much!
We’ve come a long way in the past couple years. This tech is how we got a new Beatles song too.
Did you use google-fu?
Aka… the different options you can add to your search text to refine results?
How can I use it in this case?
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!
You could try https://www.lalal.ai/
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
