Hello, I am very new to using Audacity and need a bit of help!
I recorded some videos at a gig that I recently went to but when I played them back I can hear me or someone else singing over the top of them
I was wondering if there was a way to remove the singing and keep all other sounds in the video?
I have tried to search for a number of tutorials but I cannot seem to find the correct one.
Any advice?
Thanks
Jo

We can't take apart a mixed track into individual instruments, sounds...or voices. That's why there's no tutorial.
You violated number 4.
The Four Horsemen of Audio Recording (reliable, time-tested ways to kill your show)
-- 1. Echoes and room reverberation (Don't record the show in your mum's kitchen.)
-- 2. Overload and Clipping (Sound that's recorded too loud is permanently trashed.)
-- 3. Compression Damage (Never do production in MP3.)
-- 4. Background Sound (Don't leave the TV on in the next room.)
