Permalink Backing tracks from mp3s

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

I searched through the forums and found a lot of info on making backing tracks , but I was wondering if there is any software where I can take an mp3 from a random band and strip the guitar off it to play along to. I have a Tascam guitar trainer I could rig up to my jamman pedal if there is no other way though. Sorry if I missed another post but there a lot on this subject. Thanks

I wish for this too but i think the answer is no - not yet anyway. I have a vocal remove plug-in from iZotope, it came free with some Sony software. It works fairly well with certain types of song like HipHop where the sounds are seperate but it doesn't cope with blurry rock type songs at all. Frequency detection and isolation for the home user.. not here yet me thinks!

there are a bunch of studio cuts where with audacity, cut the lead guitar channel and you have a back track. Such tracks are Los Straitjackets my favorite martian and perfidia. Also lively ones and I think all of ventures live in 65 and others. Also tried a Karaoke program called DART and that worked a couple of times.

There's also something called "GXT III Guitar XTraktion" (derpy name) that comes packaged with the Jamvox that I tried many moons back, but was disappointed and ultimately sold it. Unless a song happens to be produced in a channel that completely separates the lead (not many do this, lead is usually in both L/R channels), it is near impossible to cleanly separate it from everything else.

I may have to give audacity a try since it's freeware Smile What have I got to lose. Thanks , and if anyone knows of any surf backing track CDs let me know I've already downloaded most of the tracks from this site and a couple others
