| | Singer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A lead singer (in barbershop music simply called a lead) is one who sings the primary vocals of a song, as opposed to a backup singer who sings backup vocal(s) to a song or harmonies to the lead singer. | | | Composers write music for these instruments, understanding the skills and vocal properties of the singers. | | | An exception is in five-part gospel a cappella music, where the lead is the highest of the five voices and sings a descant, never the melody which may be in any of the other four parts. |

| | vocal eliminate, remove or reduce software |
| | Vocals cannot be removed from songs that were; recorded monaural (versus stereo), monaural songs that have been digitally remastered into stereo, songs with modern surround sound or other 3D effects, and songs with heavy chorusing effects added to the vocal. | | | MP3 files can vocal reduce, but the results are not as good as files imported from Audio CDs. | | | The remaining vocal "ghost" echoes are usually so low that you become the lead singer. |

| | Bob Rock: Recording Vocals |
| | Recording vocals for me has both a technical and a musical dimension, both of which must be addressed together in all recording projects. | | | Every artist, song, vocal instrument, and environment is different for each recording. | | | I try to select the microphone for each recording that I believe will best suit the character of the singer's vocal sound and the character of the music. |

| | Finally, whether intentional or not, the grisly vocals of death metal, black metal, and hardcore are an effective repellent against listeners who aren't committed to approaching the music on its own terms. | | | This vocal style is not to be confused with the rasping, higher-pitched shriek of Norwegian black metal bands such as Darkthrone, the thick-necked barking of weight-lifter metal bands like Pantera, or the anxious roar of current Headbanger's Ball favorites like Shadows Fall. | | | Newcomers to the genre often wonder about this – that is, why metal bands spend so much time composing intricate music and detailed lyrics only to go and "ruin it" with those awful guttural, growling vocals. |

| | Removing Vocals - The Sonic Spot |
| | Removing vocals from an audio track has long been the desire of musicians and remixers in order to obtain the instrumental version of a song, otherwise available only as a complete mix. | | | Additionally, effects, such as echo and reverb are often applied to vocals before they are recorded to the final mix. | | | Due to the complexity of many music and audio tracks, removing vocals using the method described above may result in poor or useless results. |

| | Bollenberg's vocals are OK, but not necessarily the best suited for this medieval styled music, and the whole thing comes across sounding a bit contrived for a concept album. | | | There are vocal tracks in Parfum d'étoiles, but first, they are only 4 in number (and almost 49 minutes of the album's time are instrumentals). | | | Secondly, the songs are in themselves of high quality, and the singer knows the tricks of her trade (one song is sung in English, and her manner of singing reminds in places of Sally Oldfield in Hackett's album Voyage of the Acolyte). |

| | This means that they will play the lead vocal and musical tracks, give them a lyric sheet, and see what they come up with. | | | This is a big strain on the background singers, because they have to make someone sound good who perhaps has the vocal ability of a toad, although a pretty toad with big breasts signed to a major record company with a powerful manager and a smart lawyer. | | | Chances are that even the most tone deaf among us will pick up on the "chorus" sung by the background vocals, rather than the riff-laden lead vocal, which is usually beyond the vocal ability of all but a few God-blessed individuals. |

| | When I’m tracking vocals I try not to use any EQ. | | | A short delay can "enlarge" the sound of the vocal - use a setting near 30 ms to "double" the vocal, and keep it low in the mix. | | | Remember not to overdo it - I don’t like to have my vocals swimming unless the singer can’t sing (like me) or you want that spacey / trippy thing. |

| | Recording Lead Vocals |
| | Without a doubt, the best general advice for the aspiring vocal producer is to take any opportunity to encourage and compliment the singer &; don't underestimate how much a singer's performance depends on his or her emotional state. | | | Most of the time when recording vocals it's best to keep the effect of the room on the sound to a minimum, so keeping well away from the walls is a good idea. | | | The lead vocal inevitably generates the largest number of vocal-related reader queries, and rightly so — many tracks have been transformed into hits simply by an inspired vocal. |

| | The trio mixes jazz vocal styles with other influences -- like bossa harmonizing or gospel soul -- and their records from the 60s are wonderful gems, dripping with soul and emotion that you'll hardly ever find on other vocal jazz LPs from the time, transforming songs into sublime versions that differ greatly from other renditions. | | | The original album features Bobby on piano and vocals, with only bass and drums behind him -- and the CD features a bonus 6 tracks recorded in more recent years, with larger backings. | | | This CD is probably the main reason for Andy's success -- as it's a compelling batch of jazz vocal tracks that show Andy reinventing himself for a whole new generation of jazz listeners. |

| | Here is an mp3 clip of one bar of music with the vocals, one second of silence and then the same exact bar of music with the Vocal Cut preset assigned to it. | | | While these articles will focus on singers and vocals the same techniques apply to any solo instrument you wish to isolate from the rest of the track such as saxophone, guitar, etc. | | | The best you can hope for is to isolate the vocals so that the original background music is significantly filtered and then literally drown it out with other things in your remix. |

| | Blogcritics.org: Using Technology Creatively For Better Vocals |
| | Once those takes are recorded, it's time to "comp" the vocal, which means going through the multiple takes of vocals on separate tracks and editing them down to one or two tracks of the final lead vocal. | | | Reverb, echo, electronic vibrato and double tracking are some of the most basic vocal effects, and they date back to at least the days of the Beatles, and have lasted all these years because they work. | | | Once all those takes are recorded, and comped down to one or two main tracks of vocals, and as the song gets closer to being mixed down, it's time to add "the ear candy". |

| | The vocals and harmonies have that well worn, slightly offbeat/off kilter veneer that feels organic, and in fact it's Sendrowitz vocals and lyrics which outshine anything else in the songs. | | | The songs are, for the most part, framed in the raggedy guitar sounds of the early nineties, but the band is quite capable of walking or running as the song dictates, despite playing their first live gig a scant four months ago. | | | From the meduim sized university city of London, Ontario, the members are Eric Howden (vocals and guitar), Chris Donais (guitar and vocals), and Brady Parr (drums), with renowned producer Andy Magoffin (House of Miracles studio) helping out on bass and vocals in concert. |

| | Neowin.net -> Removing vocals from MP3's? |
