How are acapellas made?

If only it were a matter of buying a nice program that could split tracks up into vocal acapellas and basslines, etc.
Which leads me to wonder where they originate from...my thoughts would be that some disgruntled studio hand leaks them on the net or sells them to the black market (why is it a white label instead of black? oh..another question).
Is it possible to EQ the vocals out of a song? That would be VERY difficult and tedious work to say the least. SO... how bout it?;)
And while we're at it...
Anyone know where I can snag the acapella for Elizabeth Fields vocals in SolarStone - Speak In Sympathy ?:rolleyes: |

As far as I know, no such program exists. :(
I have wished for something similiar for quite a while now. I'm pretty sure that all the acapellas you hear originate from studios like you said.
Oh well, mabye someday.

there is a trick on getting acapellas. . but it usually doesn't work too well
songs are stereo right? usually not the exact same instruments are played left and right exactly the same. vocals are almost always played in left and right channels the same level etc.
you can use sound forge and overlay two tracks, inverse them, and delete everything but the vocals, or was it copy the vocals and delete the rest? i don't remember
but when i did do it, IMO, it was horriable and didn't work too great. you can get a quote or two at most.
just try contacting the origional producer of the track and say you're going to do a non-profit remix using just the vocals. |

As far as I know, making an a capella consists of recording someone's vocals. Typically this is done in a studio with a singing booth of some sort.

That doesn't exist, and never will exist.

They come from leaks, phase inversions, unofficial giveaways, people that are given the vocals for remixing, etc...
It's called a white label because the label on the record is white. Why would you put a black label on a record that's already black? It's hard enough to read in a club setting if the lights in the booth are low. The white label simply refers to something that hasn't been properly labeled yet - hence a white label. It originates from the early days of techno in Detroit when DJs started getting producers to press tunes to white labels so they'd have something that was exclusive.

Impossible, unless the track consists of very clearly defined frequency ranges, and none of the tracks crossover into each other's range. |

a sound has a frequency
a synth has a certain frequency
soms synths/sounds have THE SAME frequency so they CAN NOT be split
hopefully this is the last split-thread :rolleyes:
(who the am I kidding , tomorrow there's another one :toocool: ) |
