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.

        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

        Audacity

    Did you use google-fu?

    Aka… the different options you can add to your search text to refine results?

    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!
