How to Remove Vocals from a Song in Audacity (Updated)

- Hey, I'm Mike from Music Radio Creative. In this video I'll show you how to remove vocals from a song using Audacity. Get involved in one of my upcoming audio production courses, they open every couple of months for enrollment. And I always accept a maximum of 20 students each time, so I can provide personal, one-on-one coaching to each and every student. If you'd like to learn more about the world of audio, head to mrc.fm/learn. So here we are with Audacity and a jingle that I've just loaded in. Let's have a listen, here's some music and the vocals come in right about now. ♪ Your only our production hour starts now ♪ ♪ Musicradiocreative.com ♪ Now this video is an update to my previous video, where I was talking about inversing and changing channels around and doing all that kind of stuff. Audacity has made it super simple to remove vocals now, using a fantastic effect in their effect menu here. Show you how it works. Just select the audio you wanna remove vocals from, this bit here. ♪ Your only our production ♪ Okay, that's the bit with the singing. And then we'll go into effect and right down here near the bottom vocal reduction and isolation. And then you just click this drop down here and go for the remove vocals preset. You can play with these settings here, but I have found, in my experience that these default settings tend to work pretty well. Let's preview it. Let's listen. (upbeat music) Wow. (upbeat music) Amazing. So I'm just gonna click okay to that. That is just amazing. Straight away, immediately sounding great. And you'll see these vocals will disappear, boom, like that. And now we have a piece of music that used to have singing that now doesn't. (upbeat music) There we go, and usually the vocals would come in right about now, but instead. (upbeat music) Just music. (upbeat music) Boom, mind blown. And then I can of course, hit command Zee or command Zed or control Zed if you're on the PC, and bring the vocals back. ♪ Your only our production hour ♪ There they are ♪ starts now ♪ ♪ Musicradiocreative.com ♪ Audacity, introducing voodoo magic on vocals. Enjoy using it yourself and let me know how you get on with this feature and your best settings in the comments below this video. (upbeat music)
