| 157071 | 2003-07-02 12:56:00 | I have some cool music, but some of the lyrics in them are average as, and ruin the song. How can I take say, an mp3 and just get music from it, not words. That way you have a really good beat :D I know XMM3 or whatever it is in linux can do it, when playing the music. It does it ok, but u can still hear the lyrics slightly. Ideas :) |

| 157072 | 2003-07-02 13:57:00 | You can do it with Cool Edit Pro, but the prob is that it is a pay program... the other problem is that no program does a good job of it.. it honestly sounds TERRIBLE... So I guess you're stuck with an mp3 with lyrics in it...?! Lo. |

| 157073 | 2003-07-02 21:05:00 | It's very difficult to completely remove the lyrics, no matter what software you use. Yes, it is worth a try with some of those free lyric-removing programs (I've used a couple before), but they only work to a certain extent. If you're really keen, you could reconstruct the audio (minus the lyrics) in MIDI. |

| 157074 | 2003-07-07 07:16:00 | * Apologises for digging up an old thread * I know a program, which requires a program such as Paris, CoolEdit, Cakewalk, WaveLab, or WinAmp. It's called AnalogX Vocal Remover (www.analogx.com). Functions as a plugin for either WinAmp or DirectX (through every program listed above excluding WinAmp). All you have to do is open the MP3 file and turn on the plugin, and you'll find it "removes" the vocals. Really, however, it (and most other vocal removing tools) is simply removing anything that is in the same wavelength (or something) in the centre track... this is running on the basic principles of sound recording by artists whereby usually the vocal track is put exactly in the centre, and everything else is not. However, you will find exceptions to this rule, and I have found myself that, in general, it will work best in the verses - for some reason, the vocals always come back much more noticeably in the chorus (don't ask my why the mixing guys decide to pan the vocals out from the centre in the chorus), and sometimes it can also remove music from the song too, but you usually just end up with a little bit quieter song that has comparatively louder vocals in the chorus. |

| 157075 | 2003-07-07 15:11:00 | Another good question, related, is how can I crop an MP3? Sorry PoWa, but it seemed a good thread to add my query to. |

| 157076 | 2003-07-07 22:20:00 | I hear a freeware utility like Goldwave (http://goldwave.com/) will do the trick... Never used it, but a lot of ppl say it can do simple things like that! Lo. |
