yo. Does anyone know how to isolate vocals off a riddim? im tryin to stick a hip hop vocal over a drum n bass tune, ive timestreched/condensed, but the snare off the hip hop choon is really pissing me off.... I think there are special software packages for this?
btw I have eq'd but that is obviously limited cos your eqing the vocals at the same time
cheers

Take a piece of the beat, without anything on it.
Place this, phase inverted, under the piece with the vocal

the two beat should phase cancel eachother out...

should Wink

Don't do this in cubase (might be possible but I wouldn't know how). Use a wave editor like Wavelab. select the sound you want to get out, in the edit menu choose inverse phase. Than mix this with the original to get it canceled out.

edit: it's even easier in Audacity since you canput it in multiple tracks, in the "effect" menu choose "spiegelen" in the duthc version, I suppose it would be called "mirror" or "reverse phase" in the english version.

do a search for extraboy.. its a vst that can isolate TO AN EXTENT the vocals.

creative eqing and some phase cancellation will probably still be necessary.
