Isolating vocals?

[ChrisMartinFan]

Can someone help me figure out a reasonably easy and effective way to do this? I've tried using audacity but I'm pretty shit at it. I need it to be fairly free of noise because I'm using it for a university project.

The BEST way to do it is to get the instrumental version of the song and put it into a multitrack aligned with the full version of the song. Then, invert either the instrumental or full version. It wont give you a completely clear acapella, but its the best way. Sorry I cant give a more detailed description. I dont run on Audacity [emoji51]

I believe I tried this once and it didn't work too well. Someone did a rather amazing job here with "Unconditionally", although the vocal does sound degraded:

I have no idea how they did it that well though...

If you don't mind telling, which audio editing software do you use?

The instrumental needs to be an exact copy of the full version. The instrumental you got probably wasn't the same. Also, sometimes it really works out because the instrumental is an exact copy.

 

Btw, I use Adobe Audition CC 2015

Hmm I think the one I did try was Hymn For The Weekend... I can see where your coming from since I had the instrumental but still had the leaked version so maybe the quality difference really messed things up... Kinda worked... meh not really lol

 

Ok thanks

Yeah, I understand why Hymn wouldn't work out. The vocals are buried beneath the production, especially the chorus. That song definitely wouldn't work out.

Yeah, some songs are really dense like that..
