Does anybody know of a software package that will allow you to separate the vocal or an instrument from a recording? The Thomson Vocal Eliminatoris a hardware unit but it will only remove about 50% of any recorded work. It woul be a usefull tool in learning a new song or lick.
thanks, |

This is a pretty tough trick no matter what tool you use. Because of the stereo effects that are being used these days. You can take anything panned hard to the middle out, but the effects remain because they are panned left and right. So if you remove a vocal you will still hear it from the effects used. The Digitech Vocalist do this too.

Since we now have a computer section, I'm moving this over there. You may stand a better chance of getting an answer there.

It all depends on separation.
If the vocals are separate on the stereo image, it can be done reasonably well, but quite easily.
If the vocals are in a different part of the frequency range from the backing, you can do a reasonable job.
If the vocals happen at a different time from the key parts of the backing, a good editor can lose them completely, but it will take ages.
If you want to take the lead line off a track with choir and orchestra playing continuously behind it, forget it!
Perhaps with something like Soundforge and an infinite amount of time you could do it, but it might be cheaper to look for a Karaoke version of the track, or record one yourself. Or you could look on the Net for a MIDI file of the song...

| I use a VE3+ that does a great job on stuff that is really stereo. You will find though that 99% of all cds and tapes today are not stereo and most of the time it is impossible to get any separation. |
