Does anyone have that software that removes vocals from songs?

Uh, actually not at all ;) (it's not perfect, but I've definitely heard it done very convincingly - the simplest way is to invert one of the stereo channels and play it back in mono, but maybe there's software that does it in a more advanced way...)

Ohhhhkay will that work to make my own Karaoke version of some songs for a friend of mine????
 
i remember finding a tutorial on how to do this, but it would remove the kick drum aswell.. but this was afew years back.. like 2 years ago. i'll have a search around on google and see if i can find it for you!
 
theres afew things on youtube.. but the quality of it is abit crap. but i think its what Metaltastic said to do..

When you do what was suggested you're just making the center disappear - which means that you'll also likely lose the bass, kick, and snare, some volume on things closer to the center, and so on.

Not pefect- I dont want any part of it ;)
 
There's also a couple of units Alesis makes. The Vocal Zapper and the Vocalist Playmate. I've used the Playmate to remove vocals from three tracks, all on separate occasions and it worked fine each time. That's hardware though...Zapper $100 street, Playmate $250 street.
 
Ok everyone is getting things twisted here. I'm not into karaoke, and I don't want perfection. I'm trying to help a friend out that's all and I need some VOKILLZ to disappear like Kirk needs his Crybaby.

Thanks for all the info so far though.
 
That's the idea Jeff, it ain't perfect, but do you have any other suggestions? ;)

I have!
Use that "centerless"-track as a noise-profile in the noiseremoval-muckapatchoo that Audacity has on the original track, normalize the track, and use the original song to adjust how much of the stereo channels that should be heard.
 
prob would sound better just to find a midi file of the song and re-record guitars and bass, send drum midi to AD, BFD2, Superior2.0, etc. .. a lot more work, but... no phase nonsense.
 
Im not sure if this is what you were looking for, but if you're trying to remove/edit vocals from a mixed down song, this software might work.


(skip to 5:30)


more info about the program


The only problem is that it's not out yet=/
pretty interesting though

That's pretty much what I ended up doing...

Just made really bootleg cover versions; one involving dkfh and another just acoustic.

Al that trying to fuck around with in Cubase was becoming retarded.
