How can you take out the voices from a WAV file!!

[Kagaru]

I have this WAZ file, it isn't a song. I had it taken out from a .avi file! I want to know if it's possible to take out the voices of the characters, but leave, intact, the background music and sound effects? Is it possible? If so, PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! THanks!!

It's supposed to be WAV not "WAZ" TYPO >.<

If you can afford a high end wav editor...

This is often possible with music tracks - I don't know if it will work for the voice track in a movie..

You can download VocalRemover at the link below and try it out - its free. Read the author's explanation of how it works. You can use it through WinAmp or as a DirectX plugin with Cakewalk, nTrack, CoolEdit, etc (any program that accepts DirectX plugins).

It works!!! THANKS SO MUCH!! I had saved the .avi sound into .wav Played it on Winamp and i configured it to remove the vocal sounds! It doesn't completely remove it...but when i finish dubbing it, I think it'll cover it up well! THANKS

PROBLEM...HOW DO I SAVE it? once the vocals have been removed!??

I might have to try this out too!

this is no problem -
just go into the winamp preferences -> output and set it to Disk Writer, and select the directory.

Glad it worked. By the way, you'll never be able to completely remove vocals/speech - best case scenario there is usually a little echo left over. With music, the filter usually pulls out some bass and drums, although it works very well with just guitar and vocals.

Ya i know i won't be able to remove it completely! I have it at just the right volume that when i dubb over it, it'll cover it up pretty well!
