Sometimes when I like a song very much I make both L/R channels mono and invert one of them, that way the center signal gets cancelled and you can listen to the many details you never though of clearly.Also, speeding up the song about 2.5 semitones gives the effect of "listening to it for the first time again". It doesn't last for too long though. You should try it.
>center signal gets cancelledYeah, that's why I hear nothing after doing this. Unless you meant this is supposed to show me only the stereo effects on a song that has that.
I don't understand what your intent is here. If I have a left speaker and right speaker, what's supposed to be cancelled?
>>2It only works on stereo audio. You're supposed to get something like this.
>>4Well, it's not so clean since compression and other artifacts become apparent.
Sometimes I did this with anime songs that had instrumentals to get a vocals only version.
Holy crap this is genius, it seems to completely get rid of the vocals in some cases and you just get the background.Compare these two files, first one is the original, second is after doing OP's trick.Thanks for sharing this OP. I think I did it correctly like this:>click track name > Split stereo track>click both tracks names > MonoNow when I try to invert one for some reason it inverts both, so to get around that I just highlight one track and ctrl+c then delete that track, then do Effect > Invert on the one remainingand then paste the track I had in the clipboard to a new track
I have been trying to get rid of the sides and keep the center, but I haven't found satisfactory results.>>7There's no need to delete and paste. All you have to do is this:>Split stereo track to mono>Click one of the tracks and invert
>>8I've been trying to do this for a long time too. The closest I can find (assuming you want just the vocals) is something like Melodyne. However, even if you've already got the software, (which is expensive, though it can be pirated) it is FUCK HARD to use.
>>8>Click one of the tracks and invertYeah, it still inverts both for me. Not sure why.
>>11Are you clicking this box or are you clicking the waveform?
>>12Oh, that did it. Thanks.
Reading that speeding up thing really upset me. Like I saw this thread a few days ago and can't stop thinking about how stupid it is.
>>14I don't know about you but since I have perfect pitch speeding up (not just changing the tempo but the whole sample rate, otherwise that'd be stupid) lets me hear the song in a new light.I've spoken with other musicians and they feel the same thing I do.
>>15Perfect pitch is overrated. Only relative pitch is useful in music theory, especially when you work with quarter tones.
>>15I also like to slow music down sometimes (where the pitch lowers)
I can still post images on /mu/?
Pitching a record up/down by about 6% on a turntable roughy moves its key up/down by 1 (one) semi-tone.
