Audacity 2.1.2 has two effects for removing / reducing vocals from a song. There is no guarantee that either will work. The effectiveness of these effects depend on the amount of stereo separation. Both effects are fully documented in the manual: The old effect: Vocal Remover http://manual.audacityt...

Using the "Analyze" option in the "Vocal Reduction and Isolation" effect (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/vocal_reduction_and_isolation.html): Pan position: -8.75504e-05 The left and right channels are correlated by about 100 %. This means: - The two channels are identical, i....

The user said that the Nyquist prompt wasn't in his effect list Yes, that's a bit worrying. The Nyquist Prompt is enabled by default, so should automatically be present in the Effect menu. As they are on OS X, an explanation could be that they have not installed Audacity correctly. That's why I was...

This time for the Nyquist prompt (which should really be re-enabled imo) and with the legacy check box disabled: I'm not sure what you mean Robert. By default the Nyquist Prompt is enabled and the legacy checkbox is not selected. Being a bit pedantic, yes this works: ()*track* but it is perhaps a b...

The error is "no return statement". It does work in current Audacity if you replace "s" with [return s] OK I see that. The problem is that Audacity is incorrectly guessing that the code is using SAL syntax rather than LISP syntax because there are no parentheses in the code. The...

That's very surprising. Your voice has come out much better than I would expect from a laptop mic (certainly very much better than the mic on my budget Acer laptop).

I like the answers you two gave me. I have one more question: Can you tell by looking which wave is right side up? There isn't really a "right side up". Sound as we hear it is "air vibrations". The waveform in Audacity represents those vibrations as a wiggly line. Depending on w...

You need to split the recording into separate files. You can do this by placing labels at the start of each 'song' and then using "Export Multiple". More details here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/splitting_a_recording_into_separate_tracks.html If you intend to make an audio CD, the ...

Congratulations, that came out pretty well didn't it. Which parts did you use Audacity for? What else did you use? Did you create the backing track yourself? A bit of critical feedback that I hope will be helpful: You've got a bit of clipping in a few places, for example at 1:52.5, so you need to be...
