Thanks You may have to wait a few years for some genius to work out a way of doing this. At the moment there is no way of stripping everything else away and just leaving the vocals.

Sean Nash Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 just hunt on accapella sites.if its a popular song youll more than likely find it there. there is a way to get a vocal from a track if youve got the instrumental. its got something to do with flipping the two copies out of phase so they cancel each other out and your left with the vocal. this is extremely hard to do im informed so id stick to the accapella sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pauper1 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 actually melodyne sent out a newsletter about their new product called DNA which can isolate every note of a mix. supposed to come out im q3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only works on individual instruments - eg. separating the notes of a piano recording. It won't work on a full mix.... yet........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does work on a full mix, just not the way this guy wants it. full mix when everything is playing at once,sometimes on the same frequencies.i dont think it does that,its more for clean samples of instruments.dont think it can cut out and isolate and instrument in a full song,although id like to see this.could you point us to a video clip.maybe i missed something. it would be pretty dope if it does that but i dont think it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinxjinx Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 ok thanks for all the help. but what about the inverse? lets say i want everything BUT the vocals. that should be easier right? someone recommended a program called bias peak. can anyone tell me how i would do this using that program? or any tutorial? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkX01 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 No, it's not easier. Finding an instrumental version to begin with nowadays is less likely to be the case than finding an acappella to the track in question. Unless it's a House track, you could maybe find a mix which is instrumental-only, as that genre has some DJ's who prefer to spin non-vocal mixes of that style. There are vocal removal programs and such like. They also invert the signal phase, but you end up with the extreme panned left/right sounds from the original track, collapsed into mono. No drums or bass, very little vocal unless they had stereo reverb and delays or panned L/R backing vocals used on the original. So if you happen to be very lucky, it's like having a 40% pseudo-instrumental. In most cases it won't sound anything like the same as a true instrumental mix, i.e. everything minus the vocals. What does Bias Peak have? Sounds like what I've just mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! PEAK itself doesn't do it, but the makers of peak BIAS make soundsoap pro which is a restoration software for taking out unwanted frequencies and background noise. i tried demixing one of my old songs from a fostex 4-track, i wanted to redo the vocals without having to redo all the instruments. it actually worked to some extent.the problem is its like peeling a potato with an axe--by the time you peel off all the " music/skin " there isn't very much "vocals/pulp " left over. same results the other way round - remove the vocals and you have also removed 70% of the music.
