    Out of jock, thank you for this song.

    I’ve been waiting for so long. Maybe we can hope for Blue Hotel or Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing (and Laetitia Casta).

    Yeah! How about that there ability to compile songs longer than 10 minutes huh? :c00l:

    I wonder just how many customs players in 2015 know the struggle that authors had to go through to get 10 minute+ songs done before.

    Question for the audio experts (and I promise this is relevant to the thread). If you have an instrumental version of a song, how hard is it to use that to extract the vocals from the full mix? I know it’s theoretically possible if the mixes are otherwise exactly the same, but that wouldn’t be the case here.

     

    The reason I ask is the original single release of “Wicked Game” included an instrumental mix with all vocals, lead and background, taken out, but everything else kept the same. The best kind of karaoke track, in other words. I have this single, though only on cassette, which is why it wouldn’t be an exact match.

    Well, I’m really glad the struggle yielded fruit, lol

    “The Flame” is a great song from an under-appreciated band. Thanks for everything this week, guys!

    Answering because I have some information on this, not because I consider myself an audio expert <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

     

    In short, it’s not very helpful. Record companies purposefully mix the instrumentals slightly different, usually at different speed. Not something you would notice as a listener, but enough so that waveforms no longer match. The way DIY karaoke/multitracks work is substraction, but that requires exact matches. People like OrangeHarrison, and to a lesser extent myself, could maybe make something with audio that doesn’t quite line up, but it’s not going to be the smoking gun you’re hoping it would be.

     

    For example, at one point I thought of doing the entire Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack. I got the 35-year (?) anniversary blu-ray since it had 7.1 Master Audio! I bought a freaking blu-ray drive. I learned how to extract the 7.1 stems out of the blu-ray. Only to find out the 7.1 mix conveniently did not remove the vocals from any one channel, so you couldn’t turn that into karaoke. Oh well, this special edition blu-ray ALSO had karaoke stems in it, so you could have the lyrics on screen and just have the (clean) backing track playing. So I’ll rip the vocal-less karaoke track, then substract from the 7.1 master audio (after converting to stereo) and I will have foiled the company … nope. Slightly different audio speed, so it was useless. So to this day I have the 7.1 stems, I have the backing tracks, and I have the high quality stereo audio files all from the blu-ray, and I have had no success in getting vocals separated into anything usable <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” />
