----------------------------------- Andy Mon Feb 21, 2005 4:10 pm removing vocal ----------------------------------- hey, does any of you guys know how to remove the vocal from a song? i mean, its layered right? so we should be able to simply remove the vocal layer.. any ideas? ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Feb 21, 2005 4:18 pm ----------------------------------- Have you tried [url=http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/Products/ShowProduct.asp?PID=668]Sound Forge - the photoshop of sound? :lol: If there's a program to strip layers out of sound files, it would be that one. ----------------------------------- greenapplesodaex Mon Feb 21, 2005 4:45 pm ----------------------------------- omg!!! i was just gonna ask that!!! thanx o, yeah, what program allow me to edit mp3 files? like just chunk or add something in the file is all i need. ----------------------------------- Amailer Mon Feb 21, 2005 5:41 pm ----------------------------------- wow hey i wanted to do that also XD but i didn't know it was possiable :D ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Feb 21, 2005 6:16 pm ----------------------------------- Depending on how the audio track is done. With an mp3 it won't be possible. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Mon Feb 21, 2005 7:20 pm ----------------------------------- http://audacity.sourceforge.net/. It's rather good, (though I've little to compare it to). Right now I'm using it for digitizing records. ----------------------------------- GlobeTrotter Wed Mar 23, 2005 4:57 pm ----------------------------------- It has nothing to do with layers. Vocals are not saved on a seperate track than the instruments. The audio editing programs are able to filter out the vocals by cropping out certain frequencies common to the human voice. ----------------------------------- Andy Wed Mar 23, 2005 6:22 pm ----------------------------------- cuz obviously an instrument cant play the same frequency as the human voice ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Mar 23, 2005 7:37 pm ----------------------------------- Hm well even so- I can't find the option to do that .. anyone know where it is? ----------------------------------- rizzix Wed Mar 23, 2005 8:42 pm ----------------------------------- cuz obviously an instrument cant play the same frequency as the human voicewell depending on the type of music ur listening to. Violins actually come close to the human voice. (operas) ----------------------------------- the_binary_soul Thu Mar 24, 2005 10:27 am ----------------------------------- it is almost impossible. There is a chance that you could filter out certain frequencies, but that method would be shakey at best and I do not know of any programs in which you can do that. I'm pretty sure Audacity or Soundforge will not work for this.. ----------------------------------- rizzix Thu Mar 24, 2005 3:33 pm ----------------------------------- agree. quit impossible. frequencies vary hence the pitch. but pfft if it were possible. we'd have some pretty niffty gadgets in the market right now.
