Jaz Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 yo, i need the vocals from this song, its only new so there is no Acapella's, but thankfully there isnt to much going on in the background of the song so i think the vocals should be semi-easy to single outhow do i go about doing this without killing the effect the vocals have?cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyB Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 by smart EQing, alot harder then you think man.alternativly if you can get the instrumental, invert the instrumental audio over the originals audio and technically it should cancell out all the instrumental sounds, think you can do it in soundforge.getting rid of any sound is reletivily hard with out altering other sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 dam, yeh i thought about doing that via audacity to make a DIY acapella but nah cant find an instrumental, there is shit all out there about this song at the moment...can barely find it on google half the time hahathe only thing i can think of is dropping the lows as they should really do much to the vocals i dont think...i found him on soundcloud and asked for a acapella file but its a slim shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 ive tried to isolate vocals for a remix im working on and ive kinda got them to shine a bit more but your best option is to just try and chop up sections with just vocals if there are any and make your own glitchy vocal patterns with them.this is a tutorial for logic but you may find it useful as well. check it out.http://audio.tutsplus.com/tutorials/mix ... nal-sound/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 thanks streets, yeh ill try something similar, will chop out all the parts without vocals and try EQ the section with vocals downhopefully will turn out ok, i meen there is no massive kick or drums or synths behind it really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 yeah, the track im using is pretty much vocals and ukulele for the intro which is all I need to make the remix so it wasnt too difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapFive Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 rule of thumb, if it isnt on acapellas4u.co.uk its probably not possible to be done, try what street said, look for parts where there is none or next to none instrumentals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellissentials Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Nice, yes these vocals are awesome... I'm sorry that's all I can contribute! lol So good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 wicked track ay i fucked with it a bit today, used the EQ 8 utility, god nearly all the lows out, enough that you shouldnt hear them over my drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 WOOOOOO! problem solved, Gotye (The artist) replied to me after asking him for the acapella..."Sure man. Email me and I'll hit you back with the vox stemsCheers"question though, what the fuck is a vox stem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 probably talking about vocal stems, like:- male vocal stem- female vocal- vocal effect stem (if there is one, wasn't really paying that much attention when listening to the track but there usually would be.)
