mryan23 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I am trying to do a sequence to the rudolph the red nosed reindeer from christmas vacation, the scene where eddie is emptying his chemical toilet. I think the song would be hilarious to include but i dont want eddie saying "Shitter was full." I have an mp3 of the song but eddie talking is in it. Is there a way to remove the voice or has someone done this song before with or without eddie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimswinder Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 there is software out there that "claims" to remove the voice track from songs...you'll find it doing a search for "voice removal karaoke"...but I have yet to find one that works to the point that you can no longer hear the voice...

caniac Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Sort of depends on how much you want to spend, there is a package out there called "CakeWalk" and another called "ProTools" that musicians use to produce music. I think it will allow you to pull the music in by "track", you then delete the vocal track and are left with the music. Downside is it isn't cheap and usually requires a Mac.

DavBro Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 All the packages that do this rely on one simple principle: They assume that the vocals are the only thing that is equally loud in both channels of the audio stream. They take the output of one channel, invert it, and play it against the other channel. Whatever sound is duplicated on both channels gets zeroed out. The problem is, any other sound besides vocals that exist in both tracks with equal volume will also be affected. You can tinker with notch filters that will narrow the range of the vocal removal to only cover the voice frequencies, but again, any other sounds that appear in that frequency range may also be impacted.I find that no matter how good the software (or hardware - used to have a device called a vocal-zapper that did this too) is, there will always be artifacts. Sometimes it removes too much of the other sounds, sometimes it leaves robotic-sounding vocal tidbits here and there. Worth a try, but your results may vary.
