I have been using the freeware "Audacity" to edit and add colour to the music that I record with my Fostex MR-8.
"Audacity" has a function whereby it can remove the vocals from commercial CDs. Although it does not work 100% of the time, the last two CDs that I tried to strip the vocals from the music sorta worked. The vocals are not completely gone, but it is definitely much fainter. Unfortunately, some of the other musical instruments also become fainter.
The reason why I wanted to remove the vocals is so that I can use the music and overdub my vocals to the music "karaoke style".
Has anyone been successful in making a good recording this way? Please note that this is for my personal enjoyment only and by no way am I trying to make a profit.
Any help is appreciated.
