How to Remove Vocals from a Song in Adobe Audition

[@MikeRussell]

💥Exciting update! If the above method doesn't work for you, I have just collaborated with mrc.fm/lalalai (affiliate link) - results are AMAZING and it's free to try it (although they charge to download the song). Highly suggest giving those guys a try. 💫 ‼UPDATE FOR AUDACITY USERS ‼- I have made it easier than ever before to work with tricky audio. My brand new Audacity presets are out now. One click to GREAT sound :) Check them out here: mrc.fm/presets This is a great way for you to support my channel too 🙏🙏🙏

[@putra910]

free to listen but not to download

[@JJD3]

Astonishing capability. Tried the Audition method described with voice NOT removed then went to lalalai and it cleaned it entirely. Pricey though for amateurs.

[@MikeRussell]

@@putra910 yes this is true - but I guess on the up side - you get to see the results. if you are happy with - you can pay to get it. It's a good service and needless to say they want to monetise it :)

[@TacoRemixx]

You can tell how good someone is at audio by hearing that buttery smooth crystal clear voice. Well done, dude!

Definitely more please! It didn't work for the song I tried. It turned it into a robotic synth really but eliminated the instruments.

Clever man, got me some more backing tracks to play my saxophone over all them songs I cant find backing tracks for, here I come cheers mate

[@MikeRussell]

I’m sorry. I don’t quite understand what you’re asking?

[@SONGLYRICS]

if you have high reverb on vocals or any other effects it wont work

[@cashy4172]

Hi Tobias, this works on some tracks better than others. It all depends on how the song was mixed.

Mike, I have recorded some dialogues in a short film on set with my boya unidirectional Rode mic which has a lot of traffic ambience sound in the background. However, the dialogues are pretty clear and clean. I want to completely remove all the traffic noise and want to replace it with an ambience track that I have recorded separately on set. Please guide me how can I isolate my dialogues only and use the ambience track as the background.

[@ezsiasgaborjozsef7138]

Hi. I want to ask for help. I did the operation the way you did, only I didn't get the end result like you did. I need technical help. What sound card should I use? What kind of sound card should I put in my machine to have perfect quality in the end?

[@MikeRussell]

Hi, it's nothing to do with your soundcard. The success of this purely depends on how the song is mixed and mastered. Mixed and mastered with vocals purely on the centre channel you'll get a decent result (not perfect) but mixed and mastered any other way and you won't get any sort of result at all.

@@RTLKlubfan it really depends on the structure of the song itself. the best thing for mp3 is the quality should be 320kbps

[@phemetel]

How do you remove the backing vocals from the instrumental in Audition ( I have the 2018 version)?

[@MikeRussell]

First I would suggest updating to the latest version of Audition. Second it’s worth remembering this is a very good work around but it is only a work around. If the vocals don’t sit perfectly in the centre channel it’s unlikely you’ll get a full removal so what you’re looking to do may not be 100% successful.

Bear in mind this is only ever a fix. The proper way to do this is with them individual stems and mixing out your own version. Sadly this fix can sometimes leave weird bits of audio.

I tried this...but with -48dB, 20-22050kHz, I still hear that reverb/echo in the audio track. is there a way that could be removed with stock plugins or any external plugin? Need your help desperately... I gave someone around 100 dollars to make karaoke tracks for me for the audios I would like to perform at events and he did an amazing job using cool edit pro (adobe audition older version) and had no reverbs/echos in those tracks. Please help me out with a way... it's too expensive to pay for every new track I need... please guide us through a way to get rid of those reverbs echos from recorded Bollywood/ Hollywood tracks...

[@MikeRussell]

This is a workaround technique and works very well on most tracks but a track where the vocals have stereo effects applied it will not work I'm afraid.
