[quote quote="eroticamix":fnz3s691]This works for me:
1. First of all GET THE CD PROMO with the exact album version and instrumental version or club mix/club mix instrumental
2. A wav editor like SOUND FORGE or any other with a FLIP/INVERT function
3. An audio software like ACID, CUBASE, LOGIC AUDIO,ETC.
Now, in my case, I have the cd promo of donna summer – i got your love EDDIE BAEZ EXTENDED MIX, EXTENDED INSTR., I have sound forge and acid.
STEP 1:
Open sound forge 8, extract the EXTENDED INSTR, the I hightlight the whole song and I use the FLIP/INVERT preset on sound forge and SAVE IT.
Then I open ACID PRO 5,
I extract the EXTENDED MIX from the cd and I open the EXTENDED INSTR INVERTED (the one I just did ON SOUND FORGE), so I have 2 tracks and I put them together, I line-up both tracks from beginning to end, now here’s the trick:
make both waveforms bigger, the biggest u can get, then line them up and play them both, If not right, keep moving those waveforms until u get them right, start from the middle, beginning or end or whatever it’s easy for you, practice and pratice until u hear only the vocals and save that sucker.
In this case, I got a perfect acapella of donna summer i got your love.
I have success with:
nelly furtado – promisocus, no hay igual
sean paul – temprature
discofent ft. andrea martin, ll cool j – freeze
rihanna – unfaithfull, mariah carey – say somthing, rod steward – do you think i’m sexy, etta james – strung out.
The ones that didn’t work well was rihanna – sos.
I hope you guys uunderstood it.
p.s. I just started doing these DYI ACAPELLAS, I will probably start checking my dj music collection to find me some cd promos with the album/instr and see If I can get some nice pellas for spins/remix.[/quote:fnz3s691]
Excellent advise!
I was trying the flip this morning, the invert options in cubase sx3 arent too hot, I managed to loose the vocal and keep the audio 
I’ll flip my track in soundforge first tonight!
Cheers
