Is there any way to fix this.......
I recorded some songs.... not bad , a lot of work!

I burnt them to CD.

My computer Crashed ...lost everything.

The vocals are too quite.

I realize that the answer is to do it all over again, but is there any way I can help what I already have?
 
Unless you have reformatted the hard drive or otherwise destructively overwritten the data, it may be possible to recover at least some of your work. That would be my first choice in this situation.

No the Drives were raided together with the OS .... no recovering it.

I've heard of programs that will take the vocal out, (like for using for Karokie).
If that actualy worked ... then I could rerecord the vocals.

But I can't belive that would actualy work.

Those work by removing whatever is center-panned on the assumption that is where the vocals are sitting. However anything else that is sitting close to center will also be removed. And if you have vocal bleed or reverb that is not center-panned, that will remain.

You can try going here..... http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?item=2&subItem=3 and downloading Endorphin (free). Try to use the M/S compressor function to bring out the vocal, assuming it's panned center. It works pretty well sometimes. Get the other fishphone plugins while you're there, they're all quite good, and free! Spitfish is a great de-esser.

As long as you're sure you can't recover any data, I'm not going to tell you you're wrong. Sorry about the loss.

You can do it better the second time anyway, right? Removing the vocal is probably not going to pan out as well as you'd like it to. (ptp)

Yea, try using a multiband compressor set to "expand" or "decompress." And set it to expand the midrange frequencies between 500 and 3000 hz.

It won't be perfect, but it might help.
