Question

ok, so i am at a music school and i have to sing 2 songs, but i have to get the negatives for the songs, just the negatives so that i can provide the voice. and what i need is a program that anulates the voice from the song and saves it. i just know programs that cancel the voice but doesn't save it in a separate mp3 folder. or if you don't know , you can tell me a site were i can find negatives altho i thought i will find them. but please send whatever you know. all help is apreciated

Answer 1

Yes, there's software available that can do that. It cancels out anything that's dead center in the mix, which usually means the lead vocal, but according to the article below it doesn't work well if your source is an MP3. The second link offers a program called Vogone Lite for only $9.99.

Answer 2

The theory i have about karaoke is that the person who's brave enough to get up on stage and sing into a microphone to a song they barely remember in the first place is WAY too drunk to either care how they sound, or, much less, know all the lyrics. I would be willing to bet that the people who put the karaoke music together tweak something about the song. These songs aren't recorded by the original artists. They are "covered" by a studio band of the karaoke company's design. Thus, the said bands are capable of altering the tempo, vocal range, and the key in which the song is written. For Example: A song that's originally written in 120 bpm tempo with a Ab - mid C range written in the key of A7 could have been altered to a 98 bpm tempo with a range of G - B re-written in A. Any of those variables can be changed during the studio arrangements. But i digress. My statistics are more theory-based than a proven fact.

Answer 3

I've used a plug-in in a program called Magix 6, that basically extracts everything that's not in the surround speakers. The PI was simply called Karaoke. Most any music editting program, like anything by Magix, Cubase, Protools (maybe Cool Edit or Adobe but I'm not sure about those) will have that feature.

Once you edit the track to do so, simply export it as a .WAV or .MP3. This removes most the vocals, except like adlibs or choruses depending on how they were recorded, but also removes most the low end like the bassline and kick.

FYI, if you try to convert an MP3 that's not at a high compression, usually atleast 256\kbs or better, it will come out with obvious flaws. If you have the .WAV (or ripped straight from the CD), it will come out clean.

Answer 4

Try Adobe Audition. That's an excellent program and it even shows you how to specifically get the results you want. You can also try downloading the "instrumentals" of the songs. These can be found in peer sharing programs such as Limewire.

Answer 5

With the right program yes. Look into a program called SAW. I don't remember what it stands for but it will do the trick if you learn to run the program well.
