How to extract the vocals? (RESOLVED)

Post by dyld921 » Sun Aug 15, 2010 3:28 am

So I have 2 music tracks from the same song. One with vocals, one without (either karaoke or instrumental, does the backup vocals make a difference?). Is it possible to take out the lead vocals and make an acapella? It's like the exact opposite of making a karaoke.

EDIT: Nevermind, all all had to do was to invert the instrumental track. The hard part is that they have to be completely in sync with each other. off-sync by more than 10 nanoseconds and you'll mess up.

And it also has to be the axact same music used in the original recording. Anything else won't work.
