hey guys.. i am really fining your site quite helpful... i have been dealing with a lot of singers that say... "I cant find the instumental version to a song can you like cut out the words our something.." I have two ways of doing it... either of wich sound too great...

1st use the vocal cut comand in Cool Edip Pro..
2nd play the file thru Winamp using a plugin vocal cut to lessen the vocals.... then looping that from my speakers back in into the inein on my sound card and pushing record in CEP 2.0 and recording it taht way...

Is there an easiry way... or a better plugin.. or method like messing with the eq of the track or whtat...?

:) Glad we are helping you out...that is why we are here.

Please realize that it is nearly impossible to completely remove vocals from a song without damaging the remaining music, some do a better job than others, but it will never be perfect.

I have been doing audio restoration and noise reduction for a few years, and it is not a perfect science, but it's getting better all the time.

I have tried too many differant way's to even name, to remove vocal's from finished track's. None of which work very well at all. The link dB gave you has a plug that work's pretty well, but as he said. Nothing will do it perfectly. After you use the pluggin, then maybe mess around a bit with EQ and try to clean it up a bit.

thankx guys... one track i did sounded good with only minimal voice still on it... and it stayed in pretty good quality.... i used the track off the cd... put it into cep 2.0 and used the vocal cut option.. and it sounded decent.....

i tried an mp3... converted back to wav. that way... and it sounded like crap..... but thankx for the link guys....
and the advice...

Well, that is because mp3 sounds like crap in general, much less trying to make it back into a wav. The Analogx plugin has a directx version that should work in CEP just like any other plugin.

Have you installed DirectX plugins before? RUn them through the installer and it registers with Windows as a DirectX component, that plugin should then be available in any audio application that accepts DirectX plugins, and CEP does accept DirectX as far as I know.
