Melody Eraser
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn your favorite songs into your own practice backing tracks (minus one). Works on vocals - and on lead instruments like violin or saxophone. The stereo image stays intact. Your music never turns mono. # WHO IT'S FOR - Instrument players who want play-along backing tracks without the lead melody - Anyone transcribing music who wants to isolate the melody and learn it by ear - Singers who want vocal-free tracks for karaoke practice # FEATURES - Just move the slider while the song plays: fade the melody anywhere from 0 to 100% - Keeps the stereo field of the original. Unlike classic "left minus right" cancellers, the result never collapses to mono - Melody Solo mode: listen to just the removed melody - a big help for transcription - New TYPE-I+PF engine: removes the melody while protecting the drums, so snare and hi-hat stay in the mix for a more natural backing track (devices with 6 GB of memory or more) - Seek bar, plus adjustable bass protection that keeps the kick and bass line safe - Everything runs on your device. Your music never leaves your phone # EXPORT Save the result as m4a / ALAC / wav, exactly as you hear it. Title and other track info are carried over from the original file. # MELODY ERASER PRO (one-time in-app purchase) - No ads - Unlimited exports - Background playback (keeps playing with the screen off, with lock screen controls) - TYPE-I+PF without ads # SUPPORTED AUDIO - Your own music files (m4a / mp3 / wav / ALAC / AIFF / FLAC) - Stereo (2-channel) files only - DRM-free files only - Songs purchased from the iTunes Store work as-is (they are DRM-free) - Songs downloaded from music subscription services will not work (DRM-protected) # PLEASE NOTE Results vary by song and mix. If the melody sits off to one side of the stereo field, the effect may be limited. Try the free demo track first. TYPE-I+PF converts each song once (this takes from tens of seconds to a few minutes). In the free version, the conversion runs in the background while one ad plays. With Pro there are no ads, and the conversion runs in the background while you listen.

Sing better, every day. Homeoke is a singing practice app built around the songs you love. Warm up with a guided routine, sing any song you own with the vocals taken out, and see how close you got after every take. It all happens on your phone. WARM UP • Guided warm-ups. Pick Quick, Standard or Full, and Homeoke takes you through breathing, lip trills, humming and more, one key at a time across your range. • Hear each sound first. Tap an exercise to hear how it should sound. • Your history. Every warm-up is kept, so you can watch your range and your progress over time. SING AND GET A SCORE • See your pitch as you sing. The pitch lane shows the song's notes and yours, live. • A grade for every take, with the phrases you hit and the ones you missed. • Compare any phrase. Play your line, then the original singer's, back to back. PRACTISE EVERY DAY • Two things to do each day: a warm-up and a song. • Set a weekly goal and see the days you practised. Turn on reminders if you want them. ANY SONG YOU OWN • Removes the vocals on your phone, in a few seconds. Your music is never uploaded. • Changes the key to suit your voice, without changing the speed. • Synced lyrics, found for you, or paste your own. • Mark up the lyrics: breath here, head voice, don't rush. The mark shows every time you sing that line. KEEP AND SHARE YOUR TAKES Record with or without the camera, play it back with your own pitch beside the lyrics, and share it as a lyric video. WHERE THE SONGS COME FROM Your own files. Add a track from your phone, from Files, or from any app that can share audio. Homeoke has no catalogue and streams nothing, so what you can sing is what you already own. Demo songs come with the app, so you can try everything before adding your own music. FREE FOR THE FIRST WEEK The monthly plan starts with 7 days free, and there is a one-off payment if you would rather not subscribe at all. A subscription renews itself unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can cancel at any time in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Homeoke at none against Melody Eraser's shown. Melody Eraser's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
