My dad has a laser engraver. I really reeeeeeeeally want to write a program that could make a laser engraver "press" vinyl.. I just don't know though.. It would be sooodifficult to get the graduating radius all perfect and etc. etc. etc. The engrave can engrave a shallow as one thousanth of an inch, which is half the thickness of a sheet of paper. Of course it's not necessarily depths on the vinyl, but ridges that buzz to frequencies when scraped.. I dunno. How are real dub plates made? They're metal, correct? and engraved?
Idunno just assume you could possibly make dub plates out of high heat resistant non-stick polyeurithane plastic.. who knows... |

I was reading your response and was like WTF is this guying talking about?
Anyway, I have always heard that it is not trivial to take the vocols out of a track. However you hear you can make a ty dub by doing something. It goes like this I think, because normally vocals are not put in the very "center" of the mix, if you use the left and right channel to cancel each other out you end up with just the vocals (but sounds like ). Then I guess maybe you could try and cancel it out from the original? I don't know but I rememver reading about it in the Audacity FAQ and a friend did it but it ended up sounding like a dieing AM radio being run over by a truck. |

| I was like WTF too. But thanx for the info on whatever that was. I was just wondering if there was some top-of-the-line software that would take vocals out. |

Two answers:
A) No, there is no software that will remove the vocals from a track.
B) Yes, depending on the track. For instance, Steve Porter made a Dub mix of Tomcraft - Loneliness, by hacking the track up and re-splicing it together without the vocal since he hated it so much =P You can obviously only do this if there are enough parts of the track playing without the vocal, otherwise you're SOL.
As auujay mentioned, trying to remove the vocal by phasing it out of the mix will almost always lead to e results and I wouldn't recommend even bothering trying. |

How does that help in getting a dub? Sure you could try a phase inversion, but it's tricky to pull off correctly. |

i don't think he knows what a dub is...
but if there is an acapella out there of the track, it means that there must have been a dub out there already... which defeats the purpose...
you need a dub version to do a phase inversion to get a clean acapella out of the track... |

| Has anyone actually tried phase inverting a vocal? I've tried something similar and it has yielded horrible results. I know that it's possible theoretically, but does it actually sound half decent? |
