How do you strip vocals from a song on Audacity?

Audacity uses the same vocal removal method as every other app so if it doesn't work on this it won't do any better on any other program..

Did you even look at the effects menu or read the help files?

Version 1.3.13 has an effect in the effects menu to remove vocals automatically.

Or - go to the site's FAQ - it tells you how there,

Or - check out the Wiki site:

http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Category:Tutoria...

Or - here it is;

This is possible only for certain stereo tracks. When the vocals are exactly the same on both stereo channels, you can remove them by “subtracting” one channel from the other. This works for many studio recordings, where the vocal track is mixed exactly in the center. Be aware that bass and drums are usually panned to the center and can be removed or reduced also. Depending on how the track was mixed the vocal may only be reduced, not fully removed.

To do this in Audacity 1.2:

1. Import your stereo file into Audacity.

2. Open the track menu (click the arrow next to the track title), and choose “Split Stereo Track.”

3. Select the lower track (the right channel) by clicking it in the area around the mute/solo buttons.

4. Choose “Invert” from the Effects menu.

5. Using the track menus, change each track to “Mono.”

Press the Play button to hear the results. If you are lucky, the voice will be gone but most of the other instruments will be unaffected, just like a karaoke track. You can use the Export commands in the File menu to save the results.

Audacity 1.3.13:

Has a vocal remover built in. Just select the whole track then vocal remover from the effect menu.

1) Select the song you want to edit but it has to be high quality, preferably studio version otherwise it won't work

2) On the far left it will have the name of the song next to all the blue soundwave things, click that and a menu will drop down

3) Click Split Stereo Track and you'll see that its been split into 2

4) Select the one the bottom and go to Effects -> Invert

5) Select the file name on the bottom one and select Mono

6) Repeat Step 5 on the top as well

This doesn't always work since audacity isn't the best program but if your lucky it will

Hope it works

the different day I stumbled for the era of one ordinary thank you to get rid of the lead vocal in a music. I plugged a stereo plug coming from my CD participant right into a mono jack on my mixer. something panned ineffective center became long previous. the disadvantage, (adverse to the applying recommendations) is that the music is in mono. additionally, the reverb from the vocal, no longer being ineffective center, can nonetheless be heard. i don't comprehend if that's the case for application designed for removing vocals. This works considering you're taking 2 sources - left and good - and mixing them into one channel. something this is of equivalent quantity in the two left and good channels, this is, ineffective center interior the stereo spectrum, is phased out. considering, although, your purpose is to characteristic an completely new melody, this manner, and multiple others, little question, won't artwork considering you will nonetheless pay attention the lead vocal's reverb and the history vocals, which, i think, might convolute your new melody. i'm no longer up on the latest application, although, so possibly there's a extra efficient way.
