Extracting vocals to use in other songs

There may be many instances where you find yourself wanting to remove vocals from a track and use them in other scenarios.

This is especially common for those who enjoy making remixes.
Here we will discuss how to extract a vocal from a song.

How to extract vocals from a song

Preparing the song and the instrumental

Make sure to prepare the song “with the vocal” in it, and the “instrumental” versions, and line them up on the timeline.
※Even a tiny amount off will result in failing this process. Ensure that the timing is 100% lined up.

Inverting the phase

Invert the phase on one or the other tracks.
The instrumental parts of the song will cancel out, and just the vocal sounds will remain.

It is very simple, and the most efficient/clean way to extract vocals from an existing track.
