Recently I discovered a great program for Mac only called ADX Trax Pro.
[Link removed by moderator]
It claims it can isolate and/or remove* vocals from songs, even songs where effects like reverb have been added to the lead vocal.
This lead me to wondering if there is a plug-in for Audacity that works similar to this.
I enjoy creating ākaraokeā versions of songs using vocal reduction software, and if thereās something that can actually remove the reverb as well as the lead vocal from a song, especially one that works in Audacity, I definitely want to try it! There are so many songs Iād love to turn into karaoke tracks but end up being unable to due to the effects added to the lead vocal. There arenāt that many companies producing tracks to current Christian hits.
Thanx for any help you can provide.
*(PS - I already know there is nothing that can actually remove lead vocals from a song, aside from being in the studio when the song is being mixed.)
Well I would like to see if there is anything out there for Audacity that might work similar to ADX Trax Pro. From the results Iāve heard online it does seem like it can remove reverb. I was wondering if there were any plug-ins that worked similarly to it, using algorithims.
Removing vocals and reverb are the two constantly requested features, mostly because those two problems stand in the way of a lot of people producing good-sounding shows, podcasts, gamecap and audiobooks.
This clip will always sound like she was recording in the kitchen.
I donāt know steve. They were at Musikmesse 2016 and had a pretty convincing demo on a song with a lot of reverb. The software isnāt exactly cheap. Itās either 499$ for the Pro version or 33$ monthly for the ālightā version. There is a youtube video of it, made by Sound On Sound:
Their only complaints are that it is slow, not always intuitive and there isnāt always a āpreviewā function. But itās better than Melodyneās vocal isolation. And, of course, it still doesnāt work for all songs.
One thing Iām noticing is that their samples are older songs. I would love to hear a sample of any reverb removed from a NEWER song. I have songs that have so much reverb and/or other effects added, any vocal that is supposedly āremovedā will sound as if itās still there.
ADX Trax Pro claims to have algorithms to remove reverb from songs. I would love to see a feature like this as a plug-in, in Audacity. After all, my experience has been that often for every $$$ program out there, thereās usually a freeware or donationware equivalent that can do the job just as well.
Good point cyrano, I didnāt realise that when Lvanett2 was asking if there was a plug-in for Audacity, he was referring to a highly complex $500āish integrated vocal processing suite. Iāll refine my answer:
No there is no plug-in for Audacity that Iām aware of that can do what ADX Trax Pro can do, (and there is no plug-in for Audacity that can do what āMelodyne 4 studioā can do either).
My point was that ADX Trax Pro isnāt a āplug-inā, itās a full blown production studio for vocal extraction. The idea is that you but ADX Trax Pro when you need more than vocal extraction plug-ins can do. Note that ADX Trax Pro is not a āclick the OK button and it magically extracts the vocalsā type program (watch all ten of the tutorials to get an idea of how much work is involved)
Iām actually a she. As in a not-so-dumb blonde who just happens to like fiddling around with Audacity.
Just to clarify, Iām not looking for a plug-in that can do exactly what ADX Trax Pro can, only a plug-in that can remove (or reduce?) reverb from music with a lead vocalist. Free, pay, $$$. Hope I donāt sound like a moron for asking that.
You usually have to pay money for deverb plugins. Deverb is not easy to do.
Sometimes you can select a little bit of the reverb, open Noise Reduction, Get Noise Profile, select all the track, reopen Noise Reduction and experiment with very modest noise reduction. Do not expect miracles.
Iāve never tried any of these and I donāt know if they work with Audacity. Pro solutions that donāt do deverb, but could help ando lots of other stuff:
I donāt know. Never felt the need to deverberate
I have seen professionals use some of these to lessen the pain. You canāt turn a cave recording into a studio recording, but you can at least mask the reverb enough to make a bad recording into a usable recording.
I usually have no problems with reverb or echo, since I mostly record outdoors and if an echo is present, it is part of the soundstage. Itās wind, car and plane noises I need to deal with mostly.
So it depends on what the problem is and what your goal is.
When treating already mixed and mastered music, YMMV wildly, of course, especially with recent music.
called ADX Trax Pro.
In that case I assume that you donāt believe the advert either, which makes me wonder what your question is about
