tim i’m using a wave pad, once i’ve inverted the ************, how do i mix it in with the original, don’t know what i’m doing but it just seems to be pasting the ************ on the end of the track

hi!

i have a question.
why the 1st post in this thread and this post for ex. is with this stars "***" ?

is this inconvenience is refered as well to 5 days limit like for d/l ?
i didn’t saw anything that says about stars in faq

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.

it works the phase method even with mp3 outrageous thanks[/list]

thanks everyone

Will deff give it a try, seems like it will work in theroy!!

Wow, I never thought of number one but it makes SO much sense…thanks alot

[quote quote="juno":3qdevf4m]For the first method I think he only referred to flipping which is basically switching the full left and right channels so that you basically have the negative wave of the song. When you match up the original & the invert the instrumentals will cancel each other out. The vocals will remain since there is no negative vocal frequency on the instrumental to cancel them out.

Think about it like math: say the vocals are X and the instrumental surrounding them is 1

(X+1)

You need the opposite of the instrumental to cancel it out and leave the vocals. Negative one is the inverted instrumental – the opposite. Leaving you with just the vocal if done right.

(X + 1) – 1

I havent got it down yet but I know it works from some of the tries I’ve done. I would’ve never known about this stuff if it weren’t for Tim though – cheers m8 [/quote:3qdevf4m]

hmmm… how do i invert the instrumental in sony acid?
i cant find invert audio phase

seems compicating this way…

cheers Tim, will give method 1 a whirl

Thanks Thanks Thanks, you saved me hours of searching on google

i never even knew such things like this existed man, really interesting man, im looking forward to try this out man

I know this has probly been ansered before but by inverting the phaze do you mean switching the channels or inverting the waveform ?
