[h]How to extract Backing Vocals[/h]
Introduction
Let's say an artist gives you a vocal stem, but you need to separate LVs & BVs. I will group a few approaches, separated by time & difficulty. Try approaches starting from the top, first. Ideally, methods within each group will sound similar.
FFT Imaging, extract sides
FFT Imaging, extract out of phase
FFT Melodic extraction

FFT Imaging, extract sides
- 1A. In Audacity, Effect > Vocal Reduction > Remove Center . Or,[/*]
- 1B. Using the AOM Stereo Imager D VST, turn off auto-gain & turn down center[/*]
- 1C. In Audition, use Center Channel Extractor in "Center" mode to extract the side[/*]
FFT Imaging, extract out of phase
- 2A. In Audition, use Center Channel Extractor in "Surround" mode, or use my project , or[/*]
- 2B. In REAPER, install my Reaper-Surround suite, then use my project to export 6ch. Keep & discard the channels as you like.[/*]
FFT Melodic extraction
- 3A. Use my Melodyne Quickstart guide, or[/*]
- 3B. Use Hit n Mix Infinity[/*]
