Sony Acid - Isolating Vocals from comlete music tracks
This is very very difficult to do. There are only a couple of ways I know how to obtain the vocals from any track. The easiest is to see if you can download the acapella version of the song from the web and I can tell where to look if you're interested. If you got to this page from my main page, it should've instructed you on how to download what you need. The other option that I know of is to use Software with vocal isolation algorithms and one that I've used before is quite a popular one, Sony Sound Forge. I don't use it much, only because it is a very complicated an technical program to use. It is used for mainly for sound editing, so if you're an audio engineer, you're probably fly at it. Even though you manage to isolate most of the vocals with it, you will not be able to eliminate all the music from the background. They are just not as noticeabe but low enough to be drowned out by your new Music Overlay. An easy way to mix vocals from a track with beats from another one is to simply Enable the mid and low frequency filters to reduce the mid and low sounds. Now you mainly have vocals and whatever is left - usually but not always.

With the algorithms, are the vocals you get from the track good enough to put on new set of beats or is it kind of an ugly mix? Can you hear old beats?
It all depends on the track. Some of them clean up easily with lil background sound and others are ugly sounding. You can then apply frequency filters to them on Sony Acid and remove more of it and I'll talk about how to do that in the next couple entries. Ya just gotta try it and see.
