Filters

[project.one]

I need a new program that can filter beats out of a track and leaves the vocals. Or vocals out to leave the beats


Anything?

no such thing.

There's a few tricks you can use - finding an accapella of the song, reversing the phase and playing them at the same time can cancel out the vocal in some cases. There also used to be a trick in the 80's where most pop music was mixed in stereo, with only the vocals mixed completely into the center, so subtracting one stereo channel from the other left you with (mostly) only the music... they used to sell a "vocal remover" box at Radio Shack that would do this. These days most vocals are heavily processed in stereo, so this wouldn't work anymore.

Probably you're stuck with the old karaoke trick: hire a band and re-record the song without a singer.

Shitty
But thanx for the info!

yea, best bets are finding acapella, or instrumentals, for whatever you're trying to achieve.

virtual dj 3.3 has a decent vocal remover/enhancer... dunno how to tweak it to completely cut one or the other though

what file are you trying to seperate? i have access to some good resources for acapella's and instrumental's. if they exist i can get them

[tiedye]

can you find Bombs Over Bagdhad by Outkast in acapella, dabbler? I'd KILL to hear that over some drum n bass. I think I might make a project out of that.

i can get it, by the time you add me to msn i will have it for you.
