Are you one among the thousands scratching your head to find out how to create karaoke songs? Then Read on…I’ve invested my time in this topic, so let me share my experience with you on the methods of creating karaoke songs. First of all, creating karaoke songs using a computer software is literally impossible. Trust me, I’ve spend hours downloading and testing majority of the free karaoke software’s that claim to create karaoke songs. You can google for a list of free karaoke software’s. It’s the recording & mixing pattern which decides, whether or not you can remove the vocals completely. Most of the karaoke software’s attain this by subtracting one channel from the other. This goes well with a recording where the vocals replicate on both stereo channels. To be honest, this method does work for recordings where the vocals are mixed exactly in the center. I’ll show you how to do this manually using Audacity, a free open source software. You can download Audacity, right here.
1. Import the file to Audacity.
2. Open the track menu (click the arrow next to track title) & select“Split Stereo Track.”
3. Select the lower track by clicking the area around the mute/solo buttons.
4. Choose “Invert” from the Effects menu.
5. Using the track menus, change each track to “Mono.”
Once you are done, you can play the file to hear the results. Export the file, if you are satisfied.
