Can anyone tell me if it is possible to remove or simply reduce some backing vocals from an audio track but leave the backing music. For example, could I remove or hide the “Hare Krishna - Hallelujah” parts of George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord but keep the backing music track. I know there are demos of My Sweet Lord around that don’t have the “Hare Krishna - Hallelujah” bits but those versions aren’t as good as the released vesion.
If it is possible, can you tell me how to achieve it.
I would guess that for that example the answer would be no. If memory serves me correctly, the “Hare Krishna - Hallelujah” parts are sung by a chorus, with a wide stereo spread, behind the main vocal, which for a computer is indistinguishable from the rest of the backing.
