The following article will guide you through the steps for removing backing instruments so that only a vocal track remains:
-
To find the vocal part that you want to keep, lower the "INSIDE LEVEL" slider to reduce the volume of the sound inside the red frame.
NOTE: The volume of the sound is indicated by color. The color will appear as follows according to the volume:
Black (quietest) ... Blue ... Green ... Yellow ... Red ... White (loudest) -
By dragging the red frame, move it to the location at which you no longer hear the vocal part--or to a point where the majority of the part is no longer heard.
-
You can use the to switch the frame between a rectangle or a circle and drag the edge of the frame to adjust size. The choice of shape and size will be a combination of listening to the difference each makes and looking at the R-MIX grid for the hottest points in white, red and yellow.
NOTE: If you make the shape too large, other parts will also become inaudible. - Raise the INSIDE LEVEL to 0dB and then lower the OUTSIDE LEVEL all the way down.
- You can further adjust the location and size to fine tune the selection. The vocal track will remain.
NOTE: R-MIX analyzes the imported music according to frequency, panning (left to right) and volume. For some songs, the frequency or panning of the musical parts are indistinct--due to how the song was mixed by the sound engineer (e.g. the vocals might have a lot of effects all over the mix). Because of this, you might not obtain the results you expect from all songs.
