What are your source files?

The more you can tell us, the more we can help you. So far, you have told us 1 bit of information - you can't get it to work. We need facts to work with and diagnose why you are not getting the results that Vogone can deliver.

VERY IMPORTANT! Please read this FAQ Answer and follow its suggestions, including telling us what version of Vogone you are using. It is found by clicking the About Vogone button at the bottom of the screen.



First question is where did you get the .wav files you are processing?

1. Were they imported directly from an Audio CD with Microstudio or some other reading program?

2. Where they MP3 files you converted to .wav files?

3. Were they recorded from the analog signal (that could also be sent to an amplifier/speaker) connected to your computer audio input card?

The way the audio .wav file was created can have a tremendous effect on how well the vocal can be reduced. For example, MP3 processing will REMOVE important data that is needed to remove/reduce the vocals.



Second question is what is the original source of the master files?

1. Were all the songs from the same CD, that would have been mastered at the same studio?

2. Were all the songs from one or more CDs from the same production company?

If they are, the original company's recording studio may intentionally NOT center-pan the vocals so they cannot be removed.



Third question is what do the original songs sound like?

1. Setup your speakers at least 8 feet apart, with you sitting directly in the center (at 4 feet from each). Listen to the vocal. Is it equally loud in your left and right ear? You are looking for even slight differences in the loudness to determine if the vocal is center-panned (equal loudness in left and right ears).

2. Is the vocal on all on the left channel, or all on the right channel?



Forth question is what audio equipment are you using to listen with?

1. What audio card is in your computer that you play the sound out from? Or, is the audio a port built on your motherboard (i.e. you don't have a plug-in audio card, but connectors on the motherboard for the audio)?

2. What amplifier are you using to drive your speakers?

3. What type of speakers are you using to listen to? Or, are you using headphones?



Fifth question is have you exported the vocal reduced .wav file and written it to an Audio CD and played it in a CD player?



Sixth question is have you tried unclicking the "Make stereo monaural" check box?
