Question

[MuzikProd]

Hey again,

I know I've been posting alot but I have so many questions.

This time I would like to know how to take an acapella from an average MP3 file.
AKA: How do I remove just the words of a song?

thanks,
-MP

Look around a bit. It's a challenging feat, lad.

Damn near impossible.

Also questionably legal - don't do this for any song you submit to NG!

As said, near impossible.
There's only one way it's possible as far as I know, but that requires that you also have a version of the song without the vocals. But the 2 files should be exactly the same for the rest, so exported at the same quality and bitrate, otherwise it'll never work completely right.

But for extracting them when you only have the mp3 with the arrangement and the vocals... give up.
you need to filter out everything that's not vocals, and as the vocals themself have quite a frequency range, you probably won't be able to cancel out everything but them, without the vocals sounding terrible.

So there are 2 options left for you:
- give up
- try and find a karaoke version of the song.

Sorry guys, I asked the wrong thing.
I want to take the vocals from a song to USE them, and remove the music.
I said it the other way around
