Quick trick of how I removed vocals from a song for a wedding so that a live singer could sing. The tuorial shows how to do this with Audacity which is a free tool, and how to do it such as to not lose the bass when removing the vocals

  • Hey dude, I went to a Skrillex Concert and recorded it with my phone, when i played it, there was ALOT of bass (go to my channel and see video) is there a way to lower the bass or something to make it sound better in this program or any other ones ? PLZ ANSWERRR

  • @SuperVZ123 Should be easy, you would use a high pass filter with a really low cutoff, I cant test this right now. Other option is to run it though an EQ filter and save the results.

  • @palen12 One more thing, can vocals be extracted ? Like remove the song but keep vocals ?

  • @SuperVZ123 Many people have asked this, I have never had the need and never looked into it. Sorry

  • Ooooh cool. Explain to me about the hertz thing though, because I have audacity for Windows and the box it bring up when I do a high pass filter looks different than yours, I don't know which one it's giving me the option to do.

  • @MataAshita13 hertz are 'cycles per second' or a measure of the frequency. A higher frequency are the high tones, low ones are bass. Human hearing is between 20-20,000 Hz, You should set the cross over at the point to allow the sounds you want through.

  • @palen12 TNX :D

  • @earthplanet thats wat she said

  • Using a low pass filter on the song does the exact same thing as splitting the stereo into two tracks, inverting one, and using a high pass filter on it. And besides all that does is just give you all the lower frequencies of the song including an echo of the singer's voice. This video did nothing for me.

  • This is to fast!

  • Is there any affordable cd rom software out there that almost totally removes the vocals and not just a little?

  • What if you want to delete the commentators from sports?
