Split Track, but nothing different?

Post by bedunton » Wed Oct 13, 2010 11:00 pm

Hello!

I have an MP3 of a youtube video. I am trying to take away the score (music in the background) and leave the spoken dialogue. I've tried what seems like everything, from using the vocal remover, the split stereo to mono, etc. Actually, this track doesn't even give me the option to split from stereo to mono so I converted it to a WAV file, but it just gave me two of the same tracks once I split it. What can I do to get my desired results? Thanks!

Brittany

Nothing. Your track is mono. Vocal removal requires a stereo track to start with.

does the youtube video have hq? I think that starting from 460 quality they come in stereo, so you may want to make sure you downloaded the best quality available. That's of course, assuming the upload was stereo to begin with.
