Acapellas, are they really so hard to get ahold of?

Hi guys,

So I like to remix certain trance tunes but can NEVER find any acapellas for current tunes, or the most popular ones.

Am i missing something obvious? lol. Is there a resource online to find them or are they simply not readily available?

Thanks,

Wayne

You cant find them because someone owns the rights to them, why would they post them on the net so everyone can make a horrible remix of it?



Perfect example of horrible remix, fucking shameful.

There are programs available that remove the vocal, but there not very impressive.

Would you let parts of your track loose on the internet so every dickhead on the planet with their cracked copy of FL can make something shit out of it?

I wouldn't

Remix competitions are a different story as they're just an excuse to the track spammed on Facebook and forums for several weeks.

That would take you forever to remix surely?

Well i thought as much anyway, I was just making sure. As for allowing everyone with their cracked copy of FL to make shit tunes, I guess I cant argue with that, I cant assume that everyone is like me and wants to create totally amazing mind blowing revolutionary tunes on my purchased version.

Nono, I plan to drop it as is on a fusion of Jungle-dubstep/TechTrance and classicalSYNTHONIC.

Amazing song btw

WUBWUBWUB-WUWU-WUBWUBWUB-WUWU-WUBWUBWUBWUBWUB.

The day brostep dies will be a bright one indeed.

Then FUCK no


And thanks


In reality, I don't think it'll stretch much past 100bpm, but a may do some remix parts for it soon anyway.

Wasn't a dig at you (obviously) but there are reams of shocking remixes of any acapella people can get their hands on all over Youtube.

what is brilliant about rockband and those games is that you can extract all the stems.

Eh? How? Do you mean because they are surround and you can just extract the discrete channels (center being vox etc)?

just the way they are integrated into the game. YOu might of noticed a huge influx of stems being released in the last year or 2. Some guy found a way to extrapolate the audio.I guess because the game has like drums , guitar and singing, it has to somehow seperate the audio so that it can be used in the programming and such.

They are not the same mixes of course but it is still neat.

There are people who can extract vocals pretty well from tracks, and I've seen it done in trance before. If you manage to get ahold of it another way, you'll be ok just as long as you keep it as a bootleg and don't try to sell it in either case. there are tons of acapellas all over the net, you just have to look, to state the obvious.

They always sound muffled and not right, like listening from a cheap radio.
Not having a go at you or nothing, but i'd love to see a example

True that.

wasn't there some plugin that came out a couple of years ago that was basically a few effects in one that was designed to extract vocals? It had a harsh mid/side/parametric eq to strip out the center channel then others to strip rhythmic elements out etc?

Yea, forgot the name thou.

I think Daniel Kandi's bootleg of Big Sky was done that way.

i think you are a little confused.

there is no secret. The acapella you are hearing was either leaked by a remixer or taken from a ps3 version. there is no skill in extracting vocals. There are no secret algorithms or tricks. TO be honest, I think it is better for the music scene in general if you have to hire someone to sing the part you want.

i might be confused about if he extracted the vocals or not, i can check. personally i don't have an opinion about it anyway. i'd love to start working with my own recordings and vocals soon, than other people's.

I totally agree, and fully intend to do so if I ever create something that I feel is good enough to release, but for now I just wanted something to play around with, I know very little about production with vocals.

1) Grab an acapella, mix it to where you think it should be.

2) Raise the fader on the vocal channel by about 3db, because that's where it should really be
