extracting vocal from CD
I'd like to be able to take just the vocal from a short section ( 2
words ) of a song I have on an obscure record (CD) I can convert it to .WAV but how do I clean up some of the background sounds like the drums or bass? Thanks in advance for the help |

You can't. The vocal eliminator trick (difference of two channels) does not work in reverse. A couple times a year people ask to be able to do something like this, and the answer is always the same. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Thanks in advance for the help To some extent, you can emphasize the vocals by using an equalizer filter on a wave editing program. Check out the free Audacity wave editor. Bass is usually a low frequency and cymbals are high. By cutting out the very low and very high, you'll be left with the mid-range frequency - this is usually where vocals are. This isn't a perfect solution. And you'll have to experiment quite a bit to obtain reasonable results. Ric |

You can also try Center Channel Extractor for Adobe Audition (1.5 or
later) which can be used to reduce or emphasize any chosen part of the stereo field. Don't expect miracles, however. |

I get asked to do this all the time, there is no way to extract one element
of a full mix of instrumnets with making it sound like total ass, your useage will dertermine weather this is ok or not. Its a bit like baking a cake, then after its all finished asking to take the eggs out. Adam Calaitzis Toyland Recording Studio www.toyland.com.au |

Assuming you have the program and have used the tool, why not offer to process a song for they guy rather than telling him to buy the program himself and find out if it works for him (or not)? Don't we have the technology YET? g |

The Center Channel Extractor is much more advanced than the AnalogX's Vocal remover. |
