My current hard and soft:
Mac G5 dual M-Audio FireWire Solo GarageBand Audacity I'm not a professional musician and don't intend to be. I just want to start singing and playing guitar Blues on my own as a retirement hobby. Instead of using loops for the drums and bass backing I would like to use actual recordings of my favorite musicians as karaokes. Is it possible to remove both voice and guitar from a recording? If so how? Secondary question, a little off topic: I need to buy an electric guitar, not too expensive, possiblly second hand. As a matter of fact I'll stick to a slow tempo, like Blues does, so I don't need a "fast" guitar. I don't care about the look or the shape since I find them all ugly whether Strato or LesPaul or whatever. I don't care about accessing the highest treble notes. I care only usability and sound. What are the specs I should put on my list? Any brand you would recommend? TIA Nick |

Hi Nick,
I just thought I'd add my 2¢ to all the excellent suggestions you've gotten. First of all, Amazing Slow Downer does indeed have a karaoke funtion. Download the free demo. Also, you might consider a MIDI player. MIDI files are readily available for just about any song out there and allow you to remove any unwanted tracks. Any given MIDI file is only as good as the musician who created it, however, and you may not care for the quality of the built-in QT sounds. If you were interested in a back-up band application, as opposed to favorite artist recordings, I would strongly recommend checking out Band-In-A-Box: http://www.pgmusic.com/band.htm. Again, download the free demo. It's very versatile, fun, and affordable. Concerning the guitar, there are many options, but you just can't go wrong with a Strat. They sound great, they're rugged, and they're comfortable to play. You can get started in the $200-$400 range: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guit...ase_pid/511681/ http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guit...ase_pid/510000/ Good luck in your search. It sounds like you're going to enjoy your retirement. Ron |
