    Introducing a phasing technique to remove vocals from music
    In this video I show you how to remove vocals or even drums from a music or mp3 that you have. This technique is normally used to create karaoke tracks, but with some trial and error you can get a good result on what you're after
    I must stress while phasing vocals out of music is a technique to remove vocals, it sometimes don't work out that well depending on the music. If you really need a karaoke track, buy it! It's only a dollar or so: goo.gl/1DYfA0

    Ironic that the video is about removing drum tracks, yet there is a drummer in the next studio.

    This is very trial and error(or fun homework lol), I've gotta figure out how to keep the vocals at normal volume and drums at a low volume but like I said very trial and error. Thank you for this tutorial, I've been looking for a simple yet great explanation on how to do this.

    hi, great video and I've got a MPC 500 drum machine/sampler and I'm looking to sample certain things from tracks for example just a single snare hit from a track. Is there a way I can do this by using a similar technique to extract the drums and use them? It would be similar to extracting the vocals and using them, any chance?
    Thanks

    @DavidPixleythemuzzlZ 8 років тому +1

    I wonder how you'd go about taking out mostly vocals and bringing out only the drums? I suppose the same method with different eq? I'm trying out a plugin called mashtactics and it seems to do okay on just a stereo track... haven't tried that in combination with this method.

    Hi and thanks for your video it is VERY useful. I am having a slight teething problem in that when I am recording and playing back, though the recording is crystal clear but on record and play back it is jumping in places. I have tried to set the audio buffer settings higher but still to no avail. I am sure it is something simple but wonder if you can help please? There is no distortion or over lapping of volume. I am currently using windows 7 home premium and 2 gig of ram and not running any other programs when recording. I use a roland duo capture EX audio midi interface. Thank you from Rickie.

    There are more than 200 videos of people teaching how to remove vocals from a song. They all say the same thing. They all go through the same motion. Yet, the vocals remain and the music itself is changed into something incomprehensible. This is what you'll learn after you view most of these audacity tutorials.

    • @reubenchng
      @reubenchng  5 років тому

      Because there is probably no way to remove vocals it 100%. Why, if you can, the music industry would be in jeopardy and mixing wouldn't be art anymore.
