Re: Amplifying Vocal Track

Recently, I found that a little compression, either on a selection or the whole track - depending on what the rest of the balance is like - can be pretty useful for bringing the vocals forward slightly in either old mixed demos or live recordings. It was usually the bass that I needed to bring down ...

Re: how to remove music and keep vocals?

I'm going through old demos that have been transferred from cassette and have a similar problem. What I want to do is lift a female backing vocal from an early version of a song and place it on a later version. There's not a lot of instrumentation going on at the same time, but there is a lower male...
