prophetik music Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 so, i know that there's some sort of plugin or vst or program or SOMETHING that will take a song and extract the vocals from it, and save the vocals only. i'd love to know more about it, but i can't seem to find much of anything on it. i don't even know what to call it. so yeah, more info would be nice.

Splunkle Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Many things try this. But its tricky. There are a few tricks you can try out to try to get vocals and vocals alone out of a track, but don't expect quality results. 1) EQ. try to isolate the vocals. Works best with tracks where there isn't much going on. 2) Stereo stuff. Vocals are usually centered, whereas most other instruments are panned to either side.... so THEORECTICALLY, you can take the left channel, invert it, add the inversion to the right channel... and end up with music. wait wait... you wnat the vocals, not the music... uhhhh... I got nothing. My college had a bunch of mixers, one of which had a "kareoke mode" whereby it attempted to eliminate vocals... which is the opposite of what you want, but the process is similar. On some tracks, it worked wonderfully... on others... like train wreck. Just a warning, 'sal. Quote
Yoozer Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 so, i know that there's some sort of plugin or vst or program or SOMETHING that will take a song and extract the vocals from it Hi. I have a bridge for sale. i'd love to know more about it, but i can't seem to find much of anything on it. i don't even know what to call it. It's called "acapella" and you'll find it on the better P2P applications and dedicated acapella sharing sites. Here's where the rainbow ends, however; you'll have to do the grunt work of searching yourself, because it is a gray area. Quote

avaris Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Thanks Yoozer for the info, and Prophet for posting this. There are a couple of vocals I'd love to sample from songs. One in particular i kinda need. Quote
The Vagrance Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Techincally, its impossible, but you can get really close through EQ. It'll take a long time and a really powerful EQ but thats the best you're gonna get without an acapella. Quote

It'll take a long time and a really powerful EQ but thats the best you're gonna get without an acapella. Its not impossible.. You can do it if you have a sample accurate instrumental version of the song. Otherwise, its just not gonna happen. Quote
Malcos Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Well there is a little program you can experiment with, I've had some limited success with it. In the past I've used the results to take out most of the instrumental elements of the song, and then combime it with a version that I'd manually eq'ed. Just mess around with it, see what you come up with: http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/audio/vremover.htm Quote
prophetik music Posted October 1, 2006 Author Posted October 1, 2006 i've used this in the past, and mostly just gotten muffled instrumentals. how do artists get vocal lines for professional remixes if they've gotta do all this crap? i thought there was a way to just rip it out. Quote
BlackOp Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 They ask for the clean vocal track from the original producer.. Quote
prophetik music Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 They ask for the clean vocal track from the original producer.. oh. i guess i didn't realize it was that simple/complicated. Quote
tgfoo Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 They ask for the clean vocal track from the original producer.. oh. i guess i didn't realize it was that simple/complicated. Depending on what it is, I wouldn't necessarily expect to get it, or for it to be free... Quote
LooPKiD Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 If ya wanna know more about vocal ripping techniques, there's no better place than HERE to ask about it.. Those guys do it all the time.. Hope that helps.. Quote
