5 Best Ways to Remove Music from Video [With/Without voice]

How to Remove Music/Voice from Video

By Kendra D. Mitchell |

Question: "How do I remove music from a video soundtrack without removing the other sounds?"

The response to this question is not as direct as you would think. If you have a stereo video with just two split tracks, it will be easy to remove the music from the video. However, if the video is mixed with two stereo tracks and dialog, it will be more complicated to remove music from the video and leave other sounds.

Again, sounds that are easy to remove can be taken out with free noise removal tools. In addition, you can easily remove background music from a video if the volume is low, simple, or low. On the contrary, high tempo, busy, and noisy background music will be harder to eliminate without removing other sounds. Therefore, for such hard-to-remove sounds, you should consider the sound clarity, nature of the music, bit rate and quality, phase cancellation, and pitch.

This article will cover 2 situations: how to remove music from a video without removing other sounds and how to take music out of a video, including other sounds. You will be able to do these with the tools we shall review in the following sections.
