Isolating vocals/instruments on some old songs (panning)

[venu355]

[alexriesenbeck]

@venu355 some people just say stuff its fun right?

[TopJimmyWinn]

Is there any cdc-rom software out there that almost totally removes the vocal and not just a little?

[alexriesenbeck]

@TopJimmyWinn Not that I know of.. There are some free software titles that do a good job

[warlae]

@TopJimmyWinn PRO TOOLS

@warlae Include a reference to the plug-in, add-on, or technique.

[nerine92]

HOW DO YOU CUT down liek wat u did?

[alexriesenbeck]

@nerine92 its all in the video..

[nerine92]

@alexriesenbeck i still dun get it cuz i can't cut the bottom part n leave the 1st part.

[alexriesenbeck]

@nerine92 most of the vocals were on one channel, instruments on the other

[nerine92]

@nerine92 I know so how do you cut the vocal channel?

[alexriesenbeck]

@nerine92 exactily how I just explained it to you. The vocals were on one side (left channel) and the instruments are on the other side (right channel). I selected the left channel, because the vocals are on the left channel.......

[MrMusicCreation]

[alexriesenbeck]

@MrMusicCreation Buzz. Yeah? Do this!

@sosexysocoolsobeast sowrongsofoolsofuckoff

[pontikas]

stop cheating us

[alexriesenbeck]

@pontikas stop cheating yourself, you can't do it.

[pontikas]

@alexriesenbeck you do not accomplish anything with this. You should have called the video "how to remove the right channel in a stereo recording and subsequently any instrument only present in that channel".

[alexriesenbeck]

@pontikas thats okay, but you can call it that

[pontikas]

Another great way to remove vocals is to turn off your speakers. I'm sure alexriesenbeck would agree.

[candygirl527]

finally . thank u im doing karaoke with my friends next weekso i was trying to figure out how im supposed to removed the lyrics so me and my friends can sing this ourselfs. thanks for the much apreciated help!!

[alexriesenbeck]

@Hyperwrx that laptop is gone, keys were busted. chill out

[souglyworm]

can you help me to remove also the vocals of the mp3 that I have here? I dont have any software to remove it and I dont know how the other way. thanks

[31Orcas]

As of this comment, 150 and 150, exact tie 8D!

[nightjosh]

That works in some songs,but not for all ..

[proplayer350]

I recommend you to use "snagit" The program record your screen when you active it and you dont have to use camera to make a video.

[djxxlaker]

PLEASE HELP .. I WANT JUST VOCALS NO DAM SONGS....PLEASE HELP

[astrophonix]

@djxxlaker I found a program called 'Virtual DJ' that can do centre phase cancelling to remove vocals panned to the centre, but it also has another switch beside that which cancels the sides and isolates the centre, thus removing the backing music and leaving just vocals. If drums or bass are panned to the centre as well as vocals it will cancel or isolate those as well, though. Just google virtual dj and it's the first link, free download.

[MiniDeanzyFire]

i removed the vcals in a track i like, but because of how it is mixed when there was vocals the instruments are muffled, how do i solve this?

[mohamedhazemohamed]

@MiniDeanzyFire can u undo it 

[mohamedhazemohamed]

@MiniDeanzyFire can u undo it

[woowoolip]

can u provide the download link

[iceduptroopa1]

on each corner of the box are little tiney squares. click and drag down on each side.thats how take off one side. little tiny squares on upper left and right corner of box.

[Goober2Tuber]

Perfect example of a video that says nothing. "I just cut down the right channel." Meaning what? How do you do that? Is this an instructional video or a promotional video? (sigh!)

[alexriesenbeck]

@Goober2Tuber I figured if you were watching and listening, you could figure it out. I simply "cut down" or "cut" out the right channel, leaving the left channel.

[juliet1416]

hello! what did u click?

i didn't get it

please....

[tokakaka1]

what's the program mannnnnnnnnn

[Falconnyte]

@tokakaka1 Cool edit pro 2.0

[alexriesenbeck]

@irepbmore Yes, and it works some of the time. Thanks!

[alexriesenbeck]

@MrHamid120 Upload

[DannyV1991]

nice

[TheTrakkOursoniss]

this may come in handy... and the "vintage recording" would explain why some of ray charles's songs sound funky on my ipod. vocals on only one side hurts your ears when your using those little ear buds.

[alexriesenbeck]

@TheTrakkOursoniss I like how 'funky' and 'ray charles' in the same sentence aren't supposed to go together. Thanks for watching!

[elwoodetubes]

Fat lot of good this tutorial is when your surrounded by aliens and they are going to eat your guts.

[alexriesenbeck]

@elwoodetubes I agree completely. Unless you can lull them into a trance with a smooth instrumental... good luck.

[elwoodetubes]

@alexriesenbeck Strange thing is they lost all interest in me and started to watch your tutorials so, you've got scary company. good luck

[mista1kaos]

see on this video theres 2 sets of the same vocal one under the other, any ideas why mine only the top one records on mine?

[alexriesenbeck]

@mista1kaos your sound card might only record in mono, so you would only see one channel

[mrtaz1990]

you the best way to do is just go to lime wire and download instrumentals!!!..lol

[alexriesenbeck]

@mrtaz1990 this is some of the best advice in any of these comments

[ericericfok]

How do you cut down the right channel?

[alexriesenbeck]

click on the right channel

[richyrich356]

is it possible to only keep the vocals

?

[alexriesenbeck]

experiment with removing the center channel, then invert - pasting it on top of the original wave...? try it

[MrMakaveliTheDon96]

this is good man still mixable :) you can kinda tell when u used the instrumental :L keep up the good work ma man

[alexriesenbeck]

thanks, and yeah its mostly instrumental on the one channel.

[MrHialeah305]

do you kno or can you teach how to take out instrumentals cause i hust want vocals for like hip hop type sampling

[alexriesenbeck]

sorry I can't help you there. play around with an EQ and see what you can come up with.

maybe remove the center channel, open the file again, and invert-paste the first file over the second file? might just cancel everything but its worth a try

[mczr00]

that only works for songs have the vocals in one channel

[auhstar]

do i need to get the instrumental version of song ?

[alexriesenbeck]

that's the easiest way to do it.

[tony4081]

what the fuck if i had the instrumental already i wouldnt have to convert it again dumb ass

[alexriesenbeck]

you're the smart guy who asked, I was just doing my best to answer.

[TubeEuphoric]

if biggie wanted you to use his beat, you guys would be holding eachother.

steal someone else' music ya lil bitch

[JamArchive]

@tony4081 Learn how to play an instrument and get a life

[KumiNekoX3]

what the heck did you press to get rid of the vocals? lolz confused

[alexriesenbeck]

haha

[varsitydancenc]

what the heck did he click? hahhaha didn't even answer the question lol

[alexriesenbeck]

just used the proper channel, which had little to no voice.

[varsitydancenc]

i think he held the "Ctrl" button then right clicked it... it worked for me :D and then he pressed the space bar

[kezzkezzkezz3]

im a noob whats hard panning

[PEANUTxBUTTER1]

say the vocals are on the left side of the track at first then they move to the right

[alexriesenbeck]

you might find some of my other videos interesting...

[EyFoYouBang]

@alexriesenbeck connect 174.34.173.18:27015;password eclipsed

[alexriesenbeck]

thanks for the invite - but i dont have counter strike. game on!

[EyFoYouBang]

@alexriesenbeck you should have counter strike lets play ill own u ... what year was your steam made

[taykim256]

This may work with 1% of recordings, but the vast majority have the vocals panned in the center. Plus, cutting out the entire right channel causes you to lose any audio other than the vocals that is panned to the right. You would end up with a mono recording with only left channel audio on it.

[alexriesenbeck]

Thanks for your input

[jacobkelamela]

i don't understand with the vid, what are you doing with that.

can you send me a message to explain it?

[zhour1014]

Did you know Chevy Chase played drums for Steely Dan before they got famous, and before Chevy got famous too.

[alexriesenbeck]

i've read that before. very cool information! huge Dan fan

[MRWHITE3535]

[alexriesenbeck]

[elmo50588]

[alexriesenbeck]

[BurnRose]

[alexriesenbeck]

thanks!

[ludalgato]

no it doesn't ive tried that to.

[alexriesenbeck]

Sometimes it requires a Journey to Red Robin. Or possibly your own Journey Towards Freedom? (feat DJ Doggz)

[ludalgato]

I did ten times talk about your attitude

[alexriesenbeck]

I'm here to help you bring back Catalina Isle. Whenever you're ready, call Grizzler Findustries.

[ludalgato]

this software does not work it doesent remove vocals from pm3 or wave. its lame

[alexriesenbeck]

pay attention next time

[kriegundfrieden]

[alexriesenbeck]

[tonziii23]

[MayarO1313]

Thanks for uploading this one!

[alexriesenbeck]

Glad it could help, but it sounds like you already know what you're talking about :)  thanks for watching!

[MayarO1313]
