if the music is loopbased like many hip hop songs, you can take a loop from the begining or the end of the song, duplicate it and you got something near a instrumental version, but if the loop have breaks it doesn't work

okay, so if i'm using cubase and want to invert the phase to make my d.i.y pella, i go to process....then do i select merge, subtract, flip left-right, left to stereo OR right to stereo...

or is this not the right function?

I've just found the mother of mothers on info on making your own pellas. I really hope that this will help us all understand the technical side of this pella making. Enjoy

I guess I'll have to give this a try. I can't really seem to find all I'm looking for on the net. Hope I can find some rock instrumentals, though...

Just downloaded knockout, im rather keen to try the flip/phase method, i need to find a track and an instrumental track to try with
I don’t know what the next few years will bring. Maybe fame and fortune, nice cars and even nicer women, or maybe a Special Brew ridden existence in some nasty London council estate. We’ll see.....

Hey guys,

we have tried to get this phase cancellation. I have extracted an instrumental for a mashonda single and the clean edit. They say that they are the same on the cd single, but there are differences. I made waves using cool edit and inverted the instrumental. Saved it. Went to the original and mix pasted it with the instrumental. Nothing but loud song. What the hell am I doing. Does this really work?

thats more of a general audio/software query.. try asking in the forum


Go to the preferences tab in Sound Forge. In there, you will see a tab for VST effects. Just check the ones you want sound forge to see. Once you close that, go into FX favorites and run the recreate by plugin name.

That should work.

Ive been trying to make me own pellas in Wavelab using both Phase Inverter process and ToolsOne Phase Plug with mixed results.
Anyone know why Phase inverting only worx in certain circumstances?Surely its nowt to do with the mics or method of recording the tracks?

yes but you don't have the advantage of erxtracting centre mono which may have more vocal

i've found that before using kn0ckout the alignment of the instru-mental with the normal song can be quite a pain using sound forge or wavelab, so devised a little trick, by loading both tracks into Acid as one shots and panning the one left and the other right alignment is quite easy, just render as wave and start kn0cking out ;) not sure if anyone else also thought of this...
