Extracting music from a song ??

[webdev]

Hi guys ,
I just wanted to know if there is any software which is capable of extracting the music alone from a song....say let it be a movie song.....there would be a male/female singing with a background music going, i want the background music alone. Is there a software which is capable of doing this

 

[theraven]

this has been discussed already
this isnt possible .. since the songs are single layered ... all this editing can be done when the song is in its early stages .. and before everything is merged ...

With Goldwave, u can remove th vocals in a song, but it does n't work for all th songs. It only reduces th volume levels of selective frequencies i.e. th vocal range. U can try it if u like.

Thanks

Hmm..i thought there should have been some way to extract music alone using SoundForge or Acidxpress and tools like that..I needed the music for the college culturals dance program...anyhow, thanks for the info guys...hope someone makes a software for this purpose alone..

Download Karaoke Anything! (It removes vocals from a song)
it was in the digit cd...
And is quite impressive ..

hah no software will work perfect, there are many vocal removing software or pluggins in winamp also but that can not be completely done!!

Try softwares like mp3 to midi...they will help you...out...but i dont get this...each and every song u want to extract has a midi on the net...why dont u download midi straight away so then u dont need to go .....by the well do u wanna Koroake

 

[theraven]

midi wouldnt sound like the original file anyways
it scales it down ... it sounds like the polyphonic ring tones of a mobile ...
and that isnt exactly removin vocals and keepin the "music"
midi and other formats which are used to store music/songs are completely diff ... in standards/technology both ...

Well as theraven said...its all merged up,
but some softwares do the basic suppression of vocal frequecies, take my word that you would never find a dream software, the most u will find is some software which had a number of presets and u manually see which preset works best for u, I did try these 7-8 months back, worked pretty good, Yogen Vocal Remover, Izotope Ozone Plugin for Winamp/QCD etc, dun remember others,

BTW many ppl get a neat "Sound Effects" thing with their sound drivers of MOBO (AC 97 etc etc), even that has got a voice cancellation option which works as good as other softwares. Ill post a screenshot, gotta go for ma classes.

btw i found a good sound removal guide here.

it has been thoroughly described there how much you can get and what is not achievable.

i am just a pointer work done by the person mentioned there.

that's really right,,
i've been using goldwave for along timre. if you try the optin for removing vocals.. it will give out a vauge blurred sound like water coming from a tap..

a perfect vocal removal software is just like a software that can make out a tree out of a forest pic
