Good vocal remover?
Hey folks, I was wondering if someone could recommend an
application or process that does a good job of removing vocals
from audio tracks. It would be even better to find something that could
save them (vocals and instrumental) as sperate audio files.
Thanks,
Anthony

Funny, I grew up with a guy with the same name.
How did you change your profile name? I've been trying to figure that out and it never works...

Hi Anthony,
AFAIK it is pretty tricky to seperate out individual sounds, whether it be vocals or instrumentals. Using eqing on the average wont give acurate results. Its much better to use phase cancellation. Here is a brief overview of the technique...
Think what happens when you do this...Take a copy of any track. Invert the copy....if you then add this inverted copy to the original track then you would get nothing....i.e. they cancel each other out completely.
Now, if you just want to remove the instruments and keep the vocal your going to have to (preferably) have an instrumental of the track. In the ideal scenario the instrumental will be the 'exact' same as the vocal version, only of course it wont have the vocal in it. If you then invert the instrumental and add it to the vocal version all the instruments are cancelled out leaving just the vocal.
You can invert audio in some sound editing apps. Adding audio together may be trickier to do if your app cant do this. In this case you would have to play the tracks together at the same time and record the resulting output. The closer your two tracks are alike and the closer they align will determine the quality of the cancellation. A pure cancellation would occur if the tracks were aligned perfectly i.e. sample accurate alignment.
To be honest, I tried this myself with some tracks recently and couldnt get it to work! For one its tricky if you dont have an instrumental.
The accapela4u site has amzing accapelas and I'd love to know how they do it, what technique their using.
HTH
