• Removing vocals out of MP3's ?
    2 replies, posted
Does anyone know how to take all the voices out of an MP3? Aside from those that know how to and make programs that supposedly do it, and I am not talking about inverting the one side of the stereo track to reduce noise, I am talking about full vocalist removal. People have done it though, you see this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4POMbpcnt3I[/media] Look at this, notice when they uploaded, the lyrics to Here I Am are completely gone. I am convinced they did not rerecord this, considering how I never saw this on the shelves instrumental only, and since this was not used in the movie, why they would bother performing the instrumentals for a kids game? I am NOT asking for someone to give me this version of the song, but I would like to know the process, if they did not actually rerecord it without the vocals.

If so, then it's called master tracks. The game producers buy the rights to the band's master tracks from their record label, and then simply remove the vocal track. That being said, that is the [b]only[/b] surefire way to get a version of a song that normally has vocals without them: either you can find the track released as an instrument or, in some way or another, you get the master tracks to the song and mix the song without the vocals. It's rare for a band to release their master tracks, though it does happen; for example, Lamb of God's [i]Sacrament[/i] and [i]Wrath[/i] have Producer's Edition releases (I can't remember the exact name) which have all the individual master tracks for the album. Short of these two ways, you're stuck to the shitty invert method and whatever programs you can find; even the most expensive programs can only do so much, and as far as I know, no program will ever get you a clean cut. For example, here's the guitar part from Lamb of God's "Broken Hands," taken off the Producer's Edition of [i]Wrath[/i]: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjaP8wlwTSQ[/media]

I dont think there's any way to 100% remove vocals with a program, but my school has a program that [b]severely[/b] cuts down singer's voice. but it's still there. I dont know the name of the program.
