Low pass/High pass filters=bandpass filter
I have purchased soundforge 6.0,i was working on an audio project and
i got some instructions to do something.Here are the instructions,can someone tell me how i do this in soundforge,or if theres a plugin to use to do this,or if there is another program to purchase.Also in instruction number 4, "splice the audio so that you cut out all the non-vocal parts", whats that supposed to mean(splice). Anyways i would appreciate it.Thanks Mack 1. Use a low pass filter and tune the filter so that the cutoff frequency is as high as possible without hearing the vocals. This is your low frequency cutoff. All you will hear is bass. 2. Use a highpass filter and tune the cutoff so that all you hear is the highhat and cymabls and no vocals. This is your high frequency cutoff. 3. Put the first cutoff frequency you found (low frequency cutoff) into the highpass filter. Put the second cutoff you found into the lowpass filter. You have now made a bandpass filter that is cutting out the bass and the high treble. Shrink it down to taste (ie so that you hear less of the instruments at the same frequency as the vocals). 4. Splice the audio so that you cut out all the non-vocal parts. Don't worry about the vocal tails (ie don't worry if the vocals just cut out at the end of vocal phrases), as you will reconstitute them later. 5. reconsitute the tails: slap some reverb on the vocal track, and some bpm-synced stereo delay (left side at three quarter notes and right side at 6 quarter notes) |

Low pass/High pass filters=bandpass filter
Mack,
can someone tell me how i do this in soundforge SoundForge has high-pass and low-pass filters built in, so you don't need to buy anything further. in instruction number 4, "splice the audio so that you cut out all the non-vocal parts" What exactly is the goal of this exercise? Maybe there's an easier way to do it. I agree those instructions are less than eloquent. But you seem to not have quite enough experience either. Splicing is an ancient term, from back when audio was edited by cutting physical pieces of tape. You can do exactly the same thing by cutting and pasting in SoundForge. And if you screw up, instead of losing your only good take as pieces of tape collect on the dusty floor, you can simply click Undo. --Ethan |

it. The goal of this exercise is to remove as much instruments as possible. Sort of making an acapella.Can you suggest any other methods? I heard you can do this also using an equalizer,do u know of any good equalizer? The ones in soundforge are not that advanced i dont think. Many people have removed the instruments from songs,and the vocals dont sound quite good,but still,its better than nothing,so I'm trying to find out how to do this.Thanks |

Mack,
The goal of this exercise is to remove as much instruments as possible. Sort of making an acapella. I got your email with the MP3 attachments. If you don't mind I'll move the discussion back here. Can you suggest any other methods? I don't know of any reasonable way to do this. You can often remove vocals, but removing everything BUT vocals is a different matter. As evidence, the MP3 you sent sounded terrible to me. I don't consider that useable even for fooling around. If you want to experiment with remixes - and you don't care if it's a famous tune - you'd do better to buy some Acid type Wave file loops of vocal snippets. Then you can add new stuff to that. I heard you can do this also using an equalizer, do u know of any good equalizer? No, you can't remove or keep instruments with EQ. Too many of the sounds overlap and have content in a range of bands. For example, if you cut out all the treble to get rid of a vocal, you also cut out the cymbals. And you can still hear the vocals, if a little muffled. --Ethan |
