I’m revisiting a project where, I’m trying to subtract vocals off of an old radio talk show I still listen to religiously. They use techno music from DI.FM in the 2000s and the reason I still listen to the episodes at all is because of what music is used. It’s a hard project to do because, first off, I have to find something to remove ‘vocals’ (in other words, the hosts talking in the show) and not only that, it is mostly mono. That’s why it’s difficult to do.
And someone before, when I was last on the Lemmy platform, was kind enough to DM me and ask if I sent audio snippets of the show so he can identify what tracks that was played. Since he claimed he had some archive of many tracks from that period. Problem is, I didn’t go through with it because this show would be considered incredibly politically incorrect, moreso by today’s standards and I don’t want to go through the trouble of being asked about ‘what the fuck is wrong with you’ in regards to the content.
Like, I’d like to stop listening to it too, least at the rate I’m listening it. But until I have those episodes where the talking is removed, only then will I begin trying to splice and upload pieces to see what people can identify for me.
Are you able to isolate the vocals? If so, invert the phase, and then subtract the result from the original recording.
As for isolating the vocals, I’d wager that it is panned to the center, so if you manage to isolate anything with a perfect 50/50 left/right split, what you’ll have should be the vocals. Use that as a subtractor, and the end result should be most of the music. Yes, the music probably also has something panned to the center, which you would lose in this process, but maybe it’s good enough for someone to recognize the track.
