Hi Andre
Wouldn't be too quick to say no as when Buddy Holly died in 1958 they found
piles of multi track tapes of his work that were rearranged and released. A
friend who ran a band and studio from 61 until 68 was doing multi track all
that time. Rob mentioned Audacity and that, I believe, is free. Keep
yourself amused by downloading it and playing about with it.

Rob
Thanx very interesting.
My question is then this: Would you then be able to do the same kind of
things with arrangements recorded in the 50s or 60s?
Imagine being able to sing along with the Jordanaires or the Anita Curr
singers!!
I suppose not!

Good evening André, Roger and list,
Roger is correct in that pretty much all professionally produced CD's and
the new vinyls are recorded in a multi-track format. As to recording and
editing software, there are several audio packages that offer multi-track
capabilities. Some of these applications include Audacity which is a free
download, Reaper, which is a very moderately priced package which costs in
the $35 to $40 range, and Sonar, which is a high end multi-track sound
editor which is often used by professional recording studios. To give equal
coverage to avid Mac users, there are Mac-based multi-track editors as well.
I believe one of these is called Cakewalk and Studio Garage Band or
something simllar to that also.
About all of these sound editors will enable the user to solo individual
tracks or listen to the full mix. I provide this explanation as I think it
makes it easier to envision that eliminating specified tracks is by no means
a technically difficult task. So happy karaoke time.
Best regards,
Rob Tabor

The guy I knew never seemed to have any problems. So maybe they all are done
that way when recorded professionally.

Interesting.
But that will then only work for music which is specifically recorded in
that way?

A friend, before he died, make his living singing with a portable karaoke
machine and he used the type of software you describe to strip the vocals
off of CD's. I understand the CD's have the vocals in a different track to
the music so it is relatively easy for software to achieve this. Remember a
lot of music CD's are compiled with each instrument, sound effect and vocal
being on a different track and synchronised and put together for the
finished result.

Hi all
I’m just curious.
On the internet I see software advertised that is supposed to be able to
remove the vocals from a track so that you can use it for karaoke.
I must confess I am rather sceptical about these claims? But is this
actually possible?
