" You can't un-bake a cake or un-fry and egg, and you can't un-mix a song." If you could un-mix, we could record everything at once in mono and we wouldn't need multitrack recording. Usually, it's just something fun to "play around with." None of these effects/methods are perfect. However, there are more sophisticated DSP algorithms that can do it (to some extent). There is no way with simple math to keep only the "center channel vocals" and throw-away the sides. Note that with 2-channels and simple math there are 4 possibilities: Of course, you can also remove the left or right channel and make a mono file containing either left or right (plus the center which is in both channels, of course.) Most Vocal Remover effects have this bass-saving feature built-in. If you don't want to kill all of the bass (usually centered) you have to high-pass one channel to remove the bass before subtracting. Mixing is done by summation, so you are subtracting by "adding a negative". You can do it manually be inverting one channel and mixing.

It's an "old trick" and back in the analog days I built a subtraction amplifier (differential amplifier) to do it. It's done by simply subtracting left from right which cancels everything that's identical and in-phase in both channels. Audacity (free) comes with a Vocal Remover effect (or maybe it's one of the optional downloads).

I don't know what's easily available for REAPER.Īlmost every audio editor has this effect.

Use AIFF (in Apple Music/iTunes or VLC) or FLAC if you want full metadata in lossless files.Ī progress dialog might appear if the process takes more than a second or two.

Hiding Metadata Editor at the export step can also be useful if you mainly export WAV files for which many audio players do not recognize tag information.

To do this, choose Preferences, then the Import / Export tab, and uncheck Show Metadata Editor prior to export step.

If all your tags are common to each song (except of course for each song's Track Title and Track Number), you can enter the common tags before export as above but export silently without the metadata window appearing.

before exporting and add the common tags there, Audacity will pre-fill these when the metadata window for each song appears.

Often you may have an album where most tags (such as Artist Name) are common to all tracks.

Metadata in this context refers to information "tags" stored in the audio file such as Artist, Album and Song Title. When you click "OK" on the window for the last song, all the files will export.

Metadata Editor will appear for the next and the subsequent songs as before, enter any additional information and click "OK" for each window.

Click the OK button in the Metatdata Editor ( not the Save button).

The Track Title and Track Number will be pre-filled from the labels, but you can enter any additional information for that song that you wish (for example, Artist Name and Album Title).

Metadata Editor will appear for the first song.

Using Label/Track Name should be checked.

Include audio before first label should be unchecked, as there is no audio before the first label.

button and pick the place where your exported tracks will be saved.

Choose the Export Format from the pop-up menu:.Click on File > Export > Export Multiple.In that case you should consider removing the click before the Normalize step, using Click Removal.Ĭongratulations, you are now ready to export the tracks. One problem when copying records is that a loud click in one channel can cause Normalize to create an unwanted change in the stereo balance. In that case, check the box that says "Normalize stereo channels independently". Some consumer-level turntables, tape decks and/or amplifiers may well record stereo channels with a stronger signal in one channel than the other, which you will probably want to correct. The maximum setting is 0 dB, but the default setting of -1.0 dB provides a little headroom as some players can have playback problems with audio at 0 dB. The default choice in this dialog is to amplify to a maximum of -1.0 dB. Click on Select > All, or use shortcut Ctrl + A.In order for the CD to be burned at maximum volume and thus match other CDs in your collection we need to fix this. If you did the original recording properly and avoided clipping, the recording is probably not at the maximum possible volume. Step 3 - Maximize the volume of the recording
