Isolating Vox (acapellas) Help, How do you isolate the vocals from CDs Options

[Lycius_Down]

Does any one know of a way to isolate vocals from a CD or vinyl source? For example, I want to hear only the rapper in the hip-hop song, and not the beats.

The following link explains how to do it with Cool Edit and Soundforge (PC software), but I haven't found a complement on the Mac side.

How to make A capellas

I'm assuming you could do it be a difference of the soundwaves. A soundwave anaylsis with just the beats, and then measure the difference with the vox and beats fromt he source. Or perhaps, messing with compression and a vocoder. But I don't see any software that does this on demand. Perhaps Csound ?

How do DJ's do it in the clubs? I know they use instrumental versions of songs, but how do tehy merge the vox so seemlessesly?


I'm using Cubase 1.06. on iBook G3 500, 576mb ram.

Any tips?

DJs use tracks on records with only the a capella, on some records, the voice is on a range of frequencies where there is nothing else, with a bit of EQing you can remove the non vocal element, but if it's a technique ok in a club, in the studio you ear the nasty things you are doing…

As i should be to bed, I won't go onto something I'm thinking about, I don't have ideas clear enough (sleeeeep nowww)
