Hello once again my fellow afterdawners im in need of your help again. Im looking for a program that I can use to take any mp3 seperate the vocals from the instrumentals so I can just and use the instrumentals or the acapella version of the song. Pease Help
You may be able to achieve the task with editors such as Audacity.. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Vocal_Removal
here's the deal. if the source file you have is just a stereo mix of all the instruments, its very difficult to isolate OR remove just one part. as the above guide shows, there are ways you can edit and manipulate the panning and equalizer in an audio program to try and reduce or isolate one certain part, but its far from decent. if your goal is to entirely remove the vocals from a song, you would have to mess with it so much, that the end result would sound like crap, and you still would have some vocals. so unless you can get a multi-track mix of the song, there's little you can do.
Just to add a bit more... For a professionaly made audio, at the master level, have many tracks several vocals tracks the same with the instruments. To cut out a track is simple then. Not so after they have been mixed. It is like trying to remove half the flower from a cake mix.
I think it was needed. It is actually much harder than that. Under a microscope you can identify the flour from the other stuff. There is no way I know of to positivly identify vocals from the rest. Vocals run 1-2 kHz but that will not be pure vocals.
yeah I constantly hear people asking how to eliminate either vocals or another instrument from a song. despite all the methods and programs out there, i've never come across one that truly works 100%. its just not possible without major quality loss.
They sell music that way for singers. They have a pairs of tunes in 2 different modes. Vocals with the music and one with music only no voice so you can be the singer but they were created with masters with multiple tracks so it can be done easily. My daughter is a singer. Those CDs cost a good deal of money. I would be tempted if I didn't know better.
