Can Vogone partially remove vocals

[lfmwriter]

Can Vogaone partially remove vocals; i.e., can it remove just a word or two from a song? Or is it set up only to remove entire vocals??? ???

Vogone will process the entire file that is opened.

You could use an audio editor (not part of Vogone) to slice up the original song, having only a portion to be processed by Vogone to remove the vocals you want to remove/reduce, then use the editor to assemble the pieces back together. There will probably be a noticeable change where the vocals were removed.

Yes, if you cut a song up and remove vocals in just part of a song there will be a noticable difference in music quality and/or volumes. I tried this sometime ago and with the particular song I was working with I did not like the results. Too unprofessional sounding. Although every song is going to be different so it might be worth a try. If you have good wav editing software and know how to use it you might be able to create something satifactory.

Hello wallymeister,
Just interested to pick your brains as to what you consider to be a GOOD wav. editor for removing or adding bits of songs, not the words in this case but the music.
I also need to add bits from different tunes where intro's or verses are missing, and possibly extending a tune beyound its normal length.
Regards from across the pond.

Hey Garry,

I use Sound Forge 6 for most wav editing that I do. A little pricey but very powerful. There are however other wav editors out there that will do a lot. The most important factor after acquiring a good wav editor is creativity and patience. I suppose that if you have enough of both you can do a lot with a little.



Are you are talking about perhaps taking a dance mix of a original artist song and making a karaoke or soundtracks version of it to include the dance mix part? If so I would suggest using sequencer software so you could have each part on there own track as to have good control over volumes. And then mix down when it sounds right. It really depends on the quality of each recording. If you use Vogone or some other vocal removing software or hardware to remove vocals though, that will reduce the music quality to a level that will not match up to a track that has not been altered. If that makes sense to you.

Hope I'm not rambling here but hope this helps. Sorry it took so long to respond but I've been pretty busy lately.

Hello Wally,
I think I got a cut-down version of Sound Forge when I bought an Audigy sound card, but have never tried it.
I wasn't particularly thinking of a dance mix, but I have thought about doing a mix of the same singer's songs into a medley.
I personally sing standards and jazzy numbers.
Spent a lot of time in Vogone removing vocals, you know the songs that you can never understand why no company has ever issued them as karaoke.
Also, there are a lot of excellent singers you never find on karaoke.
"The Lady is a Tramp" has plenty of different versions but none with the verse at the beginning, which sets the tone of the song.
I spend time adding lyrics and rewriting to bring some songs up to date and be less repetitive.
You thought you could ramble!!!
Many thanks and regards from this side of the pond.
Garry.
