Hi Guys or as Jimmy Saville would have said – Guys An Gals. I’ve been reading posts about creating acapellas. And I have to admit it seems quite straight forward and that to extract the backing track leaving the vocal. Is there some way of doing the opposite and just having the backing track or am I just being a bit thick.
Love the website and all the help and advice.
Keep ’em spinning

Hi and welcome 
If you have the original track and the acapella, in theory you could make an instrumental using phase inversion;
Invert the phase of the pella to cancel the vocal from the original.
Phase inversion is like throwing 2 equal stones at each other, if both are the same and are thrown at each other
at the same speed they will cancel each others momentum.
Unfortunately.. mainly due to mastering, this theory doesnt always work out as mastering will change 1 of the ‘stones’
(I should teach this stuff hehe
)
Every method that I’ve seen to create an instrumental from a mixed down track leaves not only a bit of vocals in the "instrumental," but also usually cancels out/fades some of the instruments/subtleties in the backing track.
