This is my first post....really not sure if I'm in the right area, but..., I need to know how I would go about getting just the vocals from a track. Take out most of the music, (doesent have to be absolutely just the vocals).

I'm sure theres a program for it...anyone give me a hand?

Thanks in advance...

Well.. not really.... you can't extract individual tracks from a song that is mixed any more than you can separate a cake back into flour, eggs, milk, sugar once it's been baked.

Due to the nature of stereo tracks, it is possible to REMOVE anything that is common to both channels - most often the kick, snare, and lead vocals can be reduced and sometimes removed altogether... but there's no way to extract only the vocals from a mixed track (unless the vocal exists only on a single channel and the music on the other!)

ok, thanks for the speedy reply.

So I can't remove them, but is there perhaps a way to reduce them say in a graphic equalizer program?

I'm trying to mix a D&B track into another track whose drumms and guitar are just a little too much. Any parallel suggestions?

well, the way to go about doing what bluebear mentioned is to invert the phase of one of the stereo channels and bounce them down to mono. This is basically what kareoke machines do.
