jason141Participantmaybe somebody could help me. I have the acapella for smooth criminal already. To help me explain what I need to do, here is a link to a you tube version of smooth criminal acapella.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUxhokvlG_Eskip to 3:22. now notice that during the chorus you hear michael going "I don’t know. I don’t know, yeah baby yeah something, something" and then later he screams "dagone it baby. dagone it baby"
I need to seperate those from the chorus.
can anybody tell me how to do that? I’d prefer for somebody to teach me to do it, rather than just doing it for me, because that way later on when I need something maybe I’ll know how to do it.

kingsfullParticipantyou can cut that one section of the song out and making it into a loop, you can use accoustica mixcraft for this. It will let you take just that one section and then mix it down to mp3 format, once you di this then you can continue with all vocal extcating methods to remove the beat from it and then you will have the acapella.

jason141ParticipantwellI already have in mp3 format. I just can’t figure out how to seperate the dagone it from and I don’t know from it.
I did figure out how to remove it, I just can’t figure out how extract it while removing everything else.
If it helps the background chorus plays over and over again in the acapella without the "i don’t know" and the "dagone it" which is what I want extracted by itself.

JimeoWanParticipanti don’t think you can do that, because all of the vocals quite use the same frequencies. you may try something substracting the chorus without the "i don’t know" from the other one, but if they don’t use exactly the same voice samples, it won’t work.

Synthetik FMParticipantHere’s a sure way to do it:
In Acid, import your percapella and do the beatmap, make sure it lines up perfectly.
Dupe the track. Pan track 1 hard left, track 2 hard right.
On the duped track, find a chorus section without the extra vox. Do a split at where the section begins and ends, making sure you line up with the beat. Copy that section.
Find a section of the duped track where the chorus with the extra vox bits are. Make sure you put your cursor exactly on the beat where this chorus starts.
Paste the section that you previously copied, making sure the beats and words from both tracks match up precisely. You might want to play this section to make sure they are matching exactly.
Render to a wav file.
Take the wav file and apply phase cancellation, usually by loading it into your favorite wav editor and inverting the phase of one channel. This should erase everything except for the extra vox, and maybe a few stray frequencies.
You’re done!
