EuriMouse 0 Posted December 10, 2003 This is possible a little off the topic of this board, but I would like to know if there is any software available to convert original mp3 files (songs) into karaoke versions, where the voice of the singer is taken out and only the music remains. If there is, please let me know, and possibly a URL of where to download it...? Thanks, EuriMouse Share this post Link to post
s0l1d 0 Posted December 11, 2003 I remember I had a Winamp plugin once that can remove voice during play back. However, because with mp3s (or even the wav file created from CD), the voice is mixed with the music during the production of the audio tracks. Once it is mixed together, it is very difficult to extract just an individual piece (such as voice) out from the final track. The plugin I had only did simple calculations and removed sounds that are equal on both left & right channels. Of course, if some music are also mixed equally on both channels, they would also be removed and it would sound hollow-ish as if nothing is playing. I do not think there is an existing free (or cheap enough to buy) program that can do full voice removal. A skilled sound technician with million dollar sound equipments may be able to do manual adjustments and tweaking to get a seamingly perfect voice removed track. But for an average joe, I don't think there is anyway to truely do voice removal from a song Share this post Link to post
CyberGenX 0 Posted December 11, 2003 It is highly unlikely unless you have all the individual tracks. It's like trying to take out Darth Vader from the finished star wars films.... Share this post Link to post
EuriMouse 0 Posted December 13, 2003 I'm not really bothered if ALL the vocals are taken out, as long as they are not overpowering, so that karaoke-ing can be done over it. There must be something out there that can erase some vocals... doesn't have to be THAT professional! EuriMouse Share this post Link to post
