BigPimpin91 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Is there a way to take out the vocals on a song to make it sound instrumental? Or maybe lower them so someone could sing over them? There's a couple tutorials on how to do this, but it's kinda hard. Basically you split stereo track and invert one of the two. I believe that removes the instrumental and leaves vocals. You then invert the vocals over the original track. I tried once upon a time but was rather unsuccessful. BigPimpin91's Banging Music
Decaf Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 ^truth a few more things to improve the experience - find the speaker icon next to the green bar meter, hit the down arrow and select preferences. change to 100 for a more accurate reading (i use the when adding sine waves before mix and render to see if it will clip) - if you notice when you slow a song you lengthen the notes, this in turn can make red lines (show clipping option) show up from dc offset. Think of it like a mountain peak that has been flattened just enough to sit on. you didn't increase the amplitude of the wave... you lengthened the duration the note was held as near 0db. so if you slow a song and see it turn red from it, go to amplify and find out how much you need to quiet it to stay within the data range. now slow the song and if there are, lets say, 10 red lines or less you can go to each and lower the amplitude. try -.8db, once all red is gone, highlight the whole song and go to amplify and you should incrementally be able to raise the amplitude to get it just a little louder. - if you simply click on the gray area below the L-----R slider it will highlight the entire song - start at 30% slowed and listen, then undo the slow until it sounds the way you want, every song deserves its own slowed % because you will find you like a certain BeatsPerMinute whether you intentionally do it or not. don't think you can just go and hit 20% on every song and it will sound good. - when you are attempting to add sine waves and you cannot locate the exact position of the beginning of the wave, use beat finder and most of the time it will put a little dash exactly where the sine wave should start (doesn't work all the time, you have to mess with threshold to get it perfect with each song) -even if you finished perfecting your song with NO RED, when you export it chances are there will be some red once re uploaded. I'm not 100% positive why this happens, you can alleviate it by lowering the amplitude -.1/.2dB before exporting. sometimes that helps, sometimes it doesnt, regardless the amount of "clipping" that happens from the export is nothing worth fixing. its in the thousandths of a second of dc offset and your amp won't even know it occured because the duration is so short. more as I think of it
BigPimpin91 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 don't think you can just go and hit 20% on every song and it will sound good. I will humbly disagree to this. I do the same percentage for ALL of my songs, except the Mega-C&S tracks. BigPimpin91's Banging Music

I do the same percentage for ALL of my songs, except the Mega-C&S tracks. thats odd, why not try to find a perfect match for each song, seems like you are limiting yourself by doing that.

Call me conceited, but I use a specific percentage that I know is mine only. And I do other percentages if the bassline needs to be lower. BigPimpin91's Banging Music
Sergeant_Skyrim Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Posted February 21, 2012 So when I'm adding a bassline (Generate-Tone) to a song, it only comes as one channel instead of the two like when you import a music track. Then when I try exporting it says "Your tracks will be mixed down to two stereo channels in the exported file." Has the option of not showing this warning again, but I obviously don't have that selected. My question: Is this okay to do or is there some way to merge both the HPF version with the newly created bassline version? Build in progress
Decaf Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Sub bass is mono. Its fine like that and will mix into both channels. I do not remove basslines to place my own. I generate a tone and mix it with the non hpf'd song, like in "Ain't No Sunshine" or "Get That Dough" - Gucci

You can see it turn red on the little thing in the top middle of audacity when playing through it before exporting, even when both tracks are peaking at -3db.
