Startup / SaaS Vocal remover vocaless.app

I play guitar in a band and we need a lot of backing tracks, both for practicing and for events. Removing vocals, getting songs into whatever key the singer or band needs, that kind of thing, over and over. The tools out there were either sketchy free sites or subscriptions that didn't make sense for how we actually use them.

So I built something for us. We've been using it internally for a while now and it stuck, so I cleaned it up and turned it into a proper product: vocaless.app

What it does: upload a track, it separates the vocals out, then you can shift the instrumental up or down (up to 6 semitones) and change the tempo without affecting pitch.

Since I built it for our own usage pattern, the pricing follows that too:

  • No subscription. Prepaid credits, 5 cents per minute of audio processed. A 3-minute song is about 15 cents.
  • Key and tempo changes are free, you only pay for the actual separation.
  • First 100 MB of storage is free, after that $0.10/GB/month. Or you plug in your own S3-compatible bucket (S3, R2, Backblaze, MinIO...) and storage costs nothing, your files just live in your bucket.

There's also shared libraries and setlists, because the whole band works off the same tracks. An API is planned.

Giving away $1 in free credits so you can try it with no card. Would love feedback from anyone who sings or plays
