    For those people who are using newer version of audacity:- 1)Split stereo track to mono. 2)Apply "Invert" to the bottom track. 3)As your track is already in mono, you can simply go to "Tracks" menu and select "Mix and Render" that way you will get the same result.

    If you have the new Audacity just go in Effects and click Vocal Remover way at the bottom - you don't need to do the split tracks mono thing, etc. Also, I think now Audacity does the split track in one step - click Split Track to Mono - if you want to try to do it the way in the video. That's what I did and then followed the rest of his instructions and it worked.

    This all depends on how the song was mixed down, how heavily saturated with effects the vocals are. If there's a lot of reverb it will leave the tails behind. If your vocals are over compressed it won't completely remove them as it only removes the center channel along with drum kicks etc you CAN NOT completely remove vocals from every song.

    @coreysayre13765 жыл бұрын

    As others have commented the options have changed slightly in newer versions of audacity. I don't fully understand the principles behind these edits, but i believe I have duplicated the effect in this video by choosing Split stereo track to mono, in place of split stereo track. Once the tracks are split and mono, inverting the bottom track created a similar effect to the one displayed here in the video. As others have said, in different music (hip hop for example) the additional distortion was far beyond my ability to fix or compensate for.

    Thank you, Mike, for an excellent tutorial. Say I have a recording of counting from zero to hundred without breaks (or with very short breaks) between the numbers and I would like to make from it a file which would teach somebody how to count from zero to hundred. I would insert between each number a slot of silence which would be of the same length as the recording of respective number. I would do it by selecting zero, generating the silence in its duration by cmd+L, copying that slot of silence (cmd+c), undoing the zero (cmd+z), moving the cursor to the right end of the zero selection by the right arrow, pasting the silence (cmd+v) and moving the cursor to the right end of the silence by the right arrow. Then, repeat the same 100x. Is there a faster and simpler way to do such a recording?

    Tomas Corvidea make sure you don't re-stereo the tracks. Keep both mono, unless it just so happens that you happened to be working on a pseudo-stereo track, which essentially means that it's two mono tracks made into a stereo track with minor changes to one of the channels. A pseudo-stereo track will not work using this method.

    This effect works based on canceling out vocals that are in the center of the track. It splits the stereo track and inverts the phase of one side, then makes it mono to cancel out everything in the center. If the vocals has any effects on it, such as reverb, it won't be possible to remove them. Also backup vocals can't be removed since they are typically panned left or right.
