FOT Labs: Musicians, Audio Folks, Spoken Word Types...Telephone Game?

I'm not good at this stuff at all, but I've always wondered, what tool is used to take vocals out of tracks for mashups and stuff like that? I don't get how that works with out the master recording.

It doesn't always work, but usually you can take the one side of a stereo mix, invert its waveform, and then mix it with the other side. Any sound that was on both sides will get cancelled out. It's like how noise canceling headphones work. It also removes anything else that was on both sides (the bass part, etc).

A lot of mashups are just made from instrumental bonus tracks on CD and 12" singles though. They make those for club DJs.

After sitting with this for a bit I see that I am too unprepared for this, I don't know the tools well enough, so I've decided to pass. I will study up on this junk and come to the table better suited next time.

Sorry to let you down, Fredericks!

Scratch that, I'm gonna try anyhow.

That's the spirit!

I did it, but I did it by getting a gibbon high on weed and letting him get on my computer for an hour. I take no responsibility for what that little goofball got up to.

Trying to upload now but its being a pain, it will be there tomorrow at the latest, I hope.

Your Gibbon is cuter than my Gibbons.

Your Gibbon is cuter than my Gibbons.

That's arguable!

So its doing the same thing it was doing last night, uploading to 96% and then staying there. Anyone have any idea how I can make this work?

if you need to, try uploading as mp3. If your file size is too big, that might be the problem. It seemed to work fine for me uploading a 60mb WAV.

this is a decent program to convert between formats: http://www.4musics.com/wav-mp3-wma-ogg-converter.htm

The format I have it in is a 57 mb wav, so I will try another way and see if that works. May have to sendspace this!

Edit: Its now uploaded. I hate to say it, but my solution was to use internet explorer. I knew I didn't delete that for some reason. Now, GO ON GIT TO IT next person, and bonne chance.

Edit 2: If you need any of the individual sound files I used, I have them.

Huh.  What you say?

[sonicdork]

So am I up? Or does it go back to someone that passed?

Not to me. 


But don't worry it's not my turn.

Yes, Sonicdork you are up. A person who passes needs to wait until the next cycle for their turn again.
