Re: HOOVERS!! quality hard house type sound required

Reason does some great hoovers too...it's all in the detune of the oscillators that you use...from there tweak away until you get the bass or stab that you are looking for!
The site I've listed below has some good stuff to reference, but the person that runs it seems a bit tight-handed on the info and resources...no cut n' paste on the info contained within!! :P
None the less, it's a good place to start your search for the ultimate hoover

How to remove vocals from an MP3

Yes, I would like to take the song "Lion SLeeps Tonight" by the Tokens and remove the main lead voice and still retain the background singers, if possible. What kind of software would be able to do this, and where can I possibly get a demo of it? Or if anyone knows how to do it with Goldwave or Sound Forge, if you could please point me to a FAQ or tell me how, I would greatly appreciate it!

-Thanks!

Re: How to remove vocals from an MP3

Try this site for a brief tutorial. Also try Yogen's Vocal remover v1.07. That I know takes out most of the vocals, but as far as keeping the backup singers, my advice would be to select the backup singers parts in forge, copy them to a new page, save it, then possibly enhance/increase the volume of that sample, then use a parametric or paragraphic eq to tone down the music part. Afterword, splice that sample back into the original sampled spot and go from there. The only main problem I see is keeping your output levels correct. Good Luck

Re: How to remove vocals from an MP3

Use the channel mixer function... inverting one channel and summing the two together should usually work well to remove vocals, but you might lose the backup too... If that doesn't work, using the dynamics function, you might be able to cut out the vocals if you can isolate the lead vocals volume level, and cut that part out..

I think Winamp has that capability built in, or else you can download a plugin for it from winamp,
try the input plugins section.

The Napster Controversy

Performing artists/musicians have raged against every technological advancement since before there was recorded sound. I have been in the music business for 25 years plus. I have worked with a lot of people and, in many cases, artists that seem to be free thinkers are stodgy conservatives who resist change.
The other topic involved here is the horrendous price gouging that is going on on the music/entertainment business.
From my position I must conclude...
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha (sung)
Peace!

Perhaps the best way of looking at it would be for the person who wants to download a copy of any recording for
someone who wants to download a recording for
free, is to put
him/herself in the place of the recording artist
and ask if he would like someone to do that to his
recording. Any other issue, e.g. price-gouging,
etc. is separate from this issue. But then, so
many people are only concerned with
self-indulgence that they can't see beyond their
own nursing bottles. Waaahh! Physically mature!
Mentally immature! Gimme a break!

Re: The Napster Controversy

Napster is not bad!! Quit everyones bitchin' and just think about it. Napster allows people to share files with eachother, where is the crime in that? The same thing can happen without napster. And what is the record companys consern? There the ones with the silver spoons and golden cups. There the ones with the billions already. With the amound of people that download music off napster is nothing. There are so meny people out there still buying regular albums and they companys and musicians are still makeing there money. So like i said before quit all the bitchin' and just leave napster where it is. Napster gives people the chance to let there music out to the world in hopes to be recognized. I have met meny people out there with skills and only mp3's. If i had a record company to give them to i would. inchance that this cat might make something. There are enough peopel out there buying albums that the music cumpony shouldn't worry about it. They will make there loot. So leave napster where it is because alot of good could come from it.
Peace out
ONE!

Re: The Napster Controversy

: napster is good! amen to "ONE!!" :o)

Re: The Napster Controversy

Just because Napster allows mp3's to be transferred, doesn't mean that it is advocating music piracy. It is the responsibility of the users, not the company which created the software, to respect the copyright of the artists.
Also, Napster allows those artists without recording deals to promote and distribute their work to a large audience.

Re: The Napster Controversy

Why is it that only some musicians have came out against Napster? Hell I hear that people are finding a lot of other stuff with napster- like stand up comedian mp3s-- crank phone calls, political spoofs, dialog from movies, even music from video games. Yet I havent heard any of these effected copyright owners complain about it.

Also why is it that Limp Biscut (sp!) has signed a deal with Napster to sponcer them? It looks like these guys think that Napster can help them more than they hurt them. (I'm not sure that I fully understand the logic though)

I second that!! Comon' Bill Gates, where's the high school drop out when you need him??!

Internet Radio

I have just registered a Macintosh program called "Amp Radio" it cost me $10 which I think is a bargain. One of the better features of the program is that it has a record feature, when selected, starts writing the stream to an MP3 file, excellent idea!!

DBX

I got a DBX (noise reduction) and don't know how to set it up (e.g., no manual or instructions). Can anyone explain how to set it? It has several buttons: for noise frequency, one for defeat, one for noise level, one for adjust level, and buttons for recording. Thanks for your help.

DBX rack mount.

It sounds like you have a 19 rack mount stereo DBX device. I haven't used one of those for some time. I remember having the facility on my old Tascam Porta1 4 track. DBX was an alternative to Dolby a/b/c and s systems and was never as successful. One my old 4 track you had to use it whilst recording and playing back. It would reduce a selected (fixed on my 4 track) bandwidth and boost it again during playback, cruder than Dolby. The process was supposed to lose the noise (tape noise generally) and it worked quite well although the level of the recording was crucial, too higher level and the playback dynamics were affected.

It's the kind of device that these days would be handy if you had an old reel to reel for mastering. You could insert it inline with the output of your desk and playback through it when running of copies of the result. DBX also made (and maybe still do) standard compressors which are much more usable these days for general recording and mastering, Give me the name of the unit and i'll try and give you a better description of what use it may be to you. It may be a standard compressor if your lucky...

Re: DBX rack mount.

Thanks for your reply. The unit is a Kenwood Audio De-Noiser Model KF-8011. I would really like to know how to use it correctly.

How to record wav??

Which program can i use to record songs from the tv or any other source?

Platform

Try to tell people what platform your using. Recommending software when people don't know what machine your using can be tricky. Whatever machine it is, there are many many different solutions that can be recommended.
