[Red Dragon]

well for making your own I would use

Audacity - it's free so you can get some practice if nothing else

Ok, ive seperated the left and right, did the inversion and put them back into mp3. im still getting a little bit of sound from singing, is there anyway to eliminate it completely?

[Nazkyn]

That old invert technique rarely ever works, you'll need to be using high quality samples to start with too (.mp3 @ 320kbps min or .wav). They should be good enough to use.

[peddle07]

so whats another technique (w/ audacity) to separate and remove singing/music

[Nazkyn]

I can honestly say with 99.9% certainty, that you're not gonna be able to 100% eliminate vocals on a personal computer with any software. I've never even tried this, but you could try the invert technique a few times and see if it eliminates more of the vocal range each time?

I usually cut out the parts of the overall track that I like (parts without any vocals), and arrange my samples in a sequencer (something like ACID or Cubase), then whack some random vocals over the top and voila! That's how all my mashes have been done so far, no beatmapping or any of that crap :)

[peddle07]

Yeah, I see what you mean, there are parts where you can't hear any of the vocals, which infact are the parts that I wanted to cut out anyway. I'm finding some awesome instrumentals on that link you gave me, definatly a thumbs up. I'm only using audacity at the moment, trying to get a copy of ACID that the patch actually works for me, aparantly it can be a bit buggy with vista, another motivation to go back to xp. Thumbs up on that link though. I think i may go to my intro physics prof and tell him his destructive interference lectures were bullshit :haha:

[Nazkyn]

There are a few open-source sequencers available, I haven't tried any (I have ACID, FL Studio, Reason and Cubase... spoiled for choice lol) and don't know about Vista compatability though -

LMMS (http://lmms.sourceforge.net/)
seq24 (http://www.filter24.org/seq24/)
Hydrogen (http://hydrogen-music.org/) (really a drum-machine with a built in sequencer. Unstable with Windows and Mac OSX)

Ardour (http://www.ardour.org/) looks awesome! A full production studio... for Linux and Mac OSX, damn :(

I'm on reason 4.0 and playing with the abbey road refills atm, thats what i'd suggest
