What is Karaoke?
Also called: karaoke track
Karaoke is singing along to a song's instrumental, usually with the lyrics shown on screen. A karaoke track is a version of a song with the lead vocal removed or turned way down.
Karaoke tracks used to be specially recorded copies of songs. Today, AI vocal removal can make a karaoke version of almost any recording, and lyric transcription can give you the words to read along.
Some singers keep a quiet guide vocal in the track to stay on the melody, and many change the key with pitch shifting so the song sits comfortably in their range.
Private use for practice and fun is common; public performances and sharing online are subject to the song's copyright and the venue's or platform's licenses.
