Remove human speech from audio track

Post by shevvi » Mon Nov 02, 2020 2:54 am

Hi,

I tried "remove vocals" and all the options inside it including remove center etc but I ended up with a whisper. The track has very ethereal audio and the vocals are of a man's medium pitch voice. I don't mind if some of the instrumentals is also removed.

Is there any way I can remove all speech?

The effectiveness of reducing vocals varies depending on the audio. Sometimes it is not possible at all.
With that audio, the best result I got was with the "Remove Center" option with the "Vocal Removal and Isolation" effect: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tut ... ation.html
