‼UPDATE FOR AUDACITY USERS ‼- I have made it easier than ever before to work with tricky audio. My brand new Audacity presets are out now. One click to GREAT sound :) Check them out here: mrc.fm/presets This is a great way for you to support my channel too 🙏🙏🙏
All the people who are trying it in 2019, you could simply import the file, select it and go to effects>Vocal reduction and isolation>drop down>remove vocals
For those people who are using newer version of audacity:- 1)Split stereo track to mono. 2)Apply "Invert" to the bottom track. 3)As your track is already in mono, you can simply go to "Tracks" menu and select "Mix and Render" that way you will get the same result.
If you're having problem about having no, "make audio to mono" option. Before splitting the track, it has a, "Split track to mono" option. You're welcome.
This all depends on how the song was mixed down, how heavily saturated with effects the vocals are. If there's a lot of reverb it will leave the tails behind. If your vocals are over compressed it won't completely remove them as it only removes the center channel along with drum kicks etc you CAN NOT completely remove vocals from every song.
@@gurshabadchawla4439 Keep gojng down, there is narrow down when you click the effect bar and click that narrow until the last part, you would find voice reduction. Sorry for my bad english
+Fletchers Flesh Why are you calling me a bitch? you dont even know me. I didnt ask for your help. I ask for people who are willing for help. so if you think that you are not going to help me. rather just no respond to my comment instead of insulting me. may God forgive you.
For those who don't see the "mono" option, simply drag the slider under the "Mute" and "Solo" buttons that has the "L" and the "R" on your track to the center.
As others have commented the options have changed slightly in newer versions of audacity. I don't fully understand the principles behind these edits, but i believe I have duplicated the effect in this video by choosing Split stereo track to mono, in place of split stereo track. Once the tracks are split and mono, inverting the bottom track created a similar effect to the one displayed here in the video. As others have said, in different music (hip hop for example) the additional distortion was far beyond my ability to fix or compensate for.
I just created two new mono tracks (to do this go to the tracks menu) and then copy and pasted the audio into them. Not as easy as just clicking a button but it works
maybe if you click the "split stereo to mono" option, then do all of the steps he said, it'll work? it hasn't worked for me yet, but maybe it will for you?
This saved me when removing my voice out of a game recording i was doing when the computer recorded my voice and game volume in the same audio track thank you
mate Ur video was really useful....I have a doubt I want time keep the backing vocals in the song nd remove the main singers voice only wats the way to do it...
Love how you were nodding your head to the jingle. And yeah it's a good one. Great tip, thanks. I'm a beginner DJ and working on promos and karaokes, learning Audacity. Great tips to get me started.
2019 version of aducity no longer has the just mono button it only has the split track into mono and it does not work to remove voices from the tracks. only changes the track from stereo tone to mono tone with voices
@@BlugiYT I know this is a year old, but this is the least original joke ever made, same with you @Person with a name that sounds like America dropped a bomb on it
All well and good with vocals, but will there be any other loss? Clearly some of the instruments may be in mono and they may cancel each other out to, right?
OMG❤❤❤ I’m the gymnastics music person and I wrote you earlier about mixing for floor routines and this seriously is a HUGE help for me. I don’t have audacity yet ( still trying to decide which works best for me) my question is after I do this and save it, can I use audacity to mix and cut with other songs I’ve also cut the vocals from? You are the BOMB!❤❤❤❤
Tomas Corvidea make sure you don't re-stereo the tracks. Keep both mono, unless it just so happens that you happened to be working on a pseudo-stereo track, which essentially means that it's two mono tracks made into a stereo track with minor changes to one of the channels. A pseudo-stereo track will not work using this method.
I used his method and finally got it to work. THEN I realized that Audacity now includes a vocal removal/isolation plug in within the interface. It is the in the Effects drop down and works great. Just one click!
Audacity apps is a great tool. I have been using it for many purposes, but this topic sounds new for me. Thanks for sharing this amazing video, Mike. You are very kindly.
i made the high cut on remove vocals higher than the frequency of the vocals. just test around and you will find the correct frequency to have the hi hat because hi hat frequency is higher than that of the human voice
This great...works for me thks. NOW is there a way to change the sound of the voicing in a song where the voice is not clear too much bass sounding voice.
to the peeps who don't have the option to do mono. you do, bu it's just not automatic and you have to make it mono manually. Underneath the mute and solo button, there is a volume option and underneath that volume option, is an option that tells whether you want to make this track for the left ear or the right ear. What you should do is, instead of each side being right and left, you put the node that tells whether it's left ear or right ear, you put it in the middle for both tracks. that's technically mono.
Watch a new updated video showing how to remove vocals from a song using Audacity. This method is even faster and easier! th-cam.com/video/KE6waMXii2U/w-d-xo.html
+Mike Russell I trying pick the music "Tom and Angela - Stand By Me" and i remove the vocals. But, the left i have down the bass. And still have a vocal. So, how to remove it...!
Hi I am trying to remove vocals from a song, but I can't even load the song on to audacity. It keeps coming up with this message- Wavepad could not open this file for editing. Its an mp3 could this have any effect?
I tried to remove vocals from a song using this method but some of the vocals still remained even after this process, is there something else that you could recommend?
HEY Mike im trying to do a cover for a song called El Amancer and i did exactly as u told and i can still hear it any possible way u could do it for me or help me?
Is there anyway to reveal the layers of a song separately? Like if I wanted to break down a song and just play the drums , then layer in the bass, then the harmony which all makes it all one song .
Mike Russell can I send you an example of what I mean ? There is a mixer that remixes Michael Jackson songs and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have the original demos and songs unless they’ve been released to the public as bonus material. I am a MJ TH-camr and would love to break down his songs . But here is an example:
You use it on a simple jingle to make it LOOK EASY Audacity can kiss my ass! Do a video and remove the rap vocals from the beat to create an acapella, the freaking audacity of some people!
If you have the new Audacity just go in Effects and click Vocal Remover way at the bottom - you don't need to do the split tracks mono thing, etc. Also, I think now Audacity does the split track in one step - click Split Track to Mono - if you want to try to do it the way in the video. That's what I did and then followed the rest of his instructions and it worked.
Can you please help me?! I have an audio bit its full of voiceovers and like many other sound effects and I want to take away the voiceovers. I did evrything and you can still listen everything. Also I dont have mono.
It works for a jingle that YOU created ... Not an actual song smh...😡 I'm starting to think songs are patented or something so their vocals are unable to be taken off. Goshhhh
A query: supposing I want to use a tune from a song, by replacing original words with new words, which would have same rhyme as the original wordings, any thoughts on how this can be achieved. Thank you
I think you answered the question i was going to ask. I have a few R&B artists songs that I can't find on youtube in a karaoke version but I wanted to cancel out the original artists vocal but leave the background that's already there. You mentioned that some background vocals may still be there? correct?
@@MikeRussell Thanks Mike, however I watched your other video that provided an easier way by using Audio Reduction and Isolation, it worked, Thanks a lot!
Your method is far too complicated. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the EFFECT menu there is a selection called VOCAL REMOVER... Choose this and it will do all the work for you.
Hi, I cannot make them mono cause there is no option in my downloaded version (2.2.1). May I know what was the version that you used in this video? Thank you
For those with the newer version 2.3.0.0 I figured out how to at least remove most of a vocal from a song by going to effect > go to vocal reduction and isolation > click on preview to see if it worked then hit apply. I can still hear the vocals, but barely. I only did this for part of a song I thought need some work or improvement not the entire song though unless you are going for that.
My guess Soulless Flame doesn't even know what Audacity is.... and just trolls around making stupid comments!! The vid is great! Even I needed to try a few times for my confuzzled brain to hear what is being said and get it correct!! But it works great!!! ...depending on what the track is, but that's the science of it! As explained in the vid!!
for current version 2.3 simply load the track, click Effect and from drop down menu choose Vocal Reduction and Isolation. Play around with Low Cut to retain as much or little bass as necessary
This effect works based on canceling out vocals that are in the center of the track. It splits the stereo track and inverts the phase of one side, then makes it mono to cancel out everything in the center. If the vocals has any effects on it, such as reverb, it won't be possible to remove them. Also backup vocals can't be removed since they are typically panned left or right.
This must be the right place to ask the audacity question…. If it’s a complete MONO track (recorded from voicememo on a iphone), what can be done to lessen someone’s unintended high pitched whisper? Please share steps if known
Absolutely! In Audacity, you can use the Equalization effect to tame high frequencies and the Noise Reduction tool to help reduce unintended whispers in a mono track recorded from an iPhone Voice Memo. Just select the portion with the whisper, capture a noise sample, and apply noise reduction with caution to maintain audio quality.
hello Mike Russel, i tried audacity as you taught to create a karoake. but it was not succesful as yours, something like back voice still remained in the track. may i know how to solve it.thanking you in anticipation.
Brilliant!! I have a three hour audio with Mr. A saying a 5 second sentence, and the audience repeating the sentence. This goes on for thousands of short sentences along the length of the video. Is there an automatic way in which I can remove the sound of the audience and retain only Mr. A's part of the audio clip? I am currently trimming the audience part out manually, but as I experienced, it too me 2 hours to trim audience repeats for about 7 minutes of the audio file. An automated way would be great. I tried NR with the audience voice sample, but it doesn't work as well as one would want.
Fantastic! It works. I have been trying for the last 2 weeks and finally the solution was provided by you. I also tried other software, but the vocals were not removed 100%. Thanks a lot!!
Question please. I recorded a gameplay with sound&music. Then gameplay just with music. I want to keep the sound so I manually "sicronize" music timming and to this. But it doesn't work. I've seen tracks are not exactly the same and maybe sincronization is not perfect. Any clue?? Thanks!!!!
Hi Mike, I'm a recording artist and require intricate vocal removal from a few of my songs. Do you provide this kind of work for artists? If so, what would the cost be per song/hour? Would love to be able to contact you somehow.
Hello Mike, thanks for nice (and working) tutorial. I have just one note which I found right now: If the vocals are male (with deep/bass voice) the last "ninja cut" :-D makes it worse than without it. So I have to stay without bass on my song. But it´s luckyli kind of instrumental song so it´s OK. Again thanks for the lesson - this is my first atempt in Audacity (and it was sucessfull I thing). :-)

My guess Soulless Flame doesn't even know what Audacity is.... and just trolls around making stupid comments!! The vid is great! Even I needed to try a few times for my confuzzled brain to hear what is being said and get it correct!! But it works great!!! ...depending on what the track is, but that's the science of it! As explained in the vid!!

Not getting mono option
7 years passed and it is quite useful even today!
Really glad this tutorial has stood the test of time and is still helping today!
for current version 2.3 simply load the track, click Effect and from drop down menu choose Vocal Reduction and Isolation. Play around with Low Cut to retain as much or little bass as necessary
Very helpful! Adding to my guide for future video about this - thanks!
mono is not there
it doesn't give me the option for mono anymore

Doesn't work for me:(
This effect works based on canceling out vocals that are in the center of the track. It splits the stereo track and inverts the phase of one side, then makes it mono to cancel out everything in the center. If the vocals has any effects on it, such as reverb, it won't be possible to remove them. Also backup vocals can't be removed since they are typically panned left or right.
This must be the right place to ask the audacity question…. If it’s a complete MONO track (recorded from voicememo on a iphone), what can be done to lessen someone’s unintended high pitched whisper? Please share steps if known
Absolutely! In Audacity, you can use the Equalization effect to tame high frequencies and the Noise Reduction tool to help reduce unintended whispers in a mono track recorded from an iPhone Voice Memo. Just select the portion with the whisper, capture a noise sample, and apply noise reduction with caution to maintain audio quality.
Brilliant! It works! I am using a newer version of Audacity than Mike uses in the video so it took a bit to adjust, but...it works!!!
No Mono Option what the heck?
me too
its just fake.. trust me .. u will still hear vocals
"Doing the jingle is super simple"
Hmm... it rhyme's though
Nice but do i use in any video? I mean any movie..? Just like i remove the vocals of movie and separate the movie music..
there is no mono button.but there is a dislike button. thats pretty cool right?
There is an update to this video- coming soon 😃
hello i am mike and i am speaking through a mike
mic
writingthefuture [Sunny] that was the punch line
hello Mike Russel, i tried audacity as you taught to create a karoake. but it was not succesful as yours, something like back voice still remained in the track. may i know how to solve it.thanking you in anticipation.
Brilliant!! I have a three hour audio with Mr. A saying a 5 second sentence, and the audience repeating the sentence. This goes on for thousands of short sentences along the length of the video.
Is there an automatic way in which I can remove the sound of the audience and retain only Mr. A's part of the audio clip?
I am currently trimming the audience part out manually, but as I experienced, it too me 2 hours to trim audience repeats for about 7 minutes of the audio file. An automated way would be great.
I tried NR with the audience voice sample, but it doesn't work as well as one would want.
Nothing that I know for this.
Guess i will do it the hard way. Manually :(
Fantastic! It works. I have been trying for the last 2 weeks and finally the solution was provided by you. I also tried other software, but the vocals were not removed 100%. Thanks a lot!!
Glad to have helped
Question please. I recorded a gameplay with sound&music. Then gameplay just with music. I want to keep the sound so I manually "sicronize" music timming and to this. But it doesn't work. I've seen tracks are not exactly the same and maybe sincronization is not perfect. Any clue?? Thanks!!!!
Hi Mike,
I'm a recording artist and require intricate vocal removal from a few of my songs. Do you provide this kind of work for artists? If so, what would the cost be per song/hour? Would love to be able to contact you somehow.
Hi there! Sure please reach out musicradiocreative.com/contact
I can split the tracks but when I try move on and click the arrow, the mono button does not appear. pls help!!!!!!!
It worked 95% !!! Voice down to a barely audible level. Very nice !
Woo hoo. Good work!
one of the simplest videos , and instead of making a good remix i made a fortune equalizing thank you ill never forget this
👍
Hello Mike, thanks for nice (and working) tutorial. I have just one note which I found right now: If the vocals are male (with deep/bass voice) the last "ninja cut" :-D makes it worse than without it. So I have to stay without bass on my song. But it´s luckyli kind of instrumental song so it´s OK. Again thanks for the lesson - this is my first atempt in Audacity (and it was sucessfull I thing). :-)
