Re: how do u make an acapella?????? Posted by Tate Bergeron (from: 209.150.34.46) on January 16, 2001 at 20:23:12: In Reply to: how do u make an acapella?????? posted by kerry on October 31, 2000 at 14:48:52: Here's how to _REMOVE_ vocals (i am trying to figure out how to do the opposite; leaving only vocals): It's called phase cancellation. You record the source track into Cool Edit, Sound Forge, whatever. Invert one of the channels(L or R) (put it out of phase). Mix down the two to a mono file, and voila! no vocals. The reason this works is vocal tracks are most often recorded in mono, whereas the other tracks are usually stereo. By inverting, and then re-combining the two sides, you're analog-ly eliminating any perfectly identical frequencies (which a mono track is an example of) by "phasing them out". don't listen to people who tell you things are impossible. nothing is impossible. except figuring out how to subtract the resultant, no-vocal file's frequencies dynamically along time to LEAVE only vocals. I'll post that if i figure it out. +a+e Follow Ups: Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Comments: : Here's how to _REMOVE_ vocals (i am trying to figure out how to do the opposite; leaving only vocals): : It's called phase cancellation. : You record the source track into Cool Edit, Sound Forge, whatever. : Invert one of the channels(L or R) (put it out of phase). : Mix down the two to a mono file, and voila! no vocals. : The reason this works is vocal tracks are most often recorded in mono, whereas the other tracks are usually stereo.
