there is but not cheaply them hardware boxes are high dollar studio equipment thats the only way to make a instrumental out of a vocal song.

by not cheap i mean you can buy lunch at mcdonalds for 5 dollars a day for like 1200 to 2500 days?

i don't have that much money and its not worth it to make a free karaoke and nobody will buy the karaoke they'll make their
own for free. so why bother with the task and cost.?

Bummer. I was hoping there was a way to record the singer-less version of the song into mp3 or similar format and then use that as the KaraFun template. Oh well.

yep steegy theres lots in the kara fun forum but it is slow at times.

i've had my post sit there for 2 weeks sometimes as the last post in the forum.

kara fun is a very user friendly program but as you will find out.

all songs as of about 1980 are using stereo with singers voice on both channels. the only way to get rid of this voice is by buying expensive hardware.

the slider used in kara fun and the one made by analogx.com only are able to completely work on songs from prior to 1975, when they started with the voice on both channels
so there is about a 5 year gap where some songs were not done that way. the year dates are not exact but close.
either plus or minus 3 years on them.

but the kara fun works well on most the songs.

as for recording music to the computer you don't do it with the microphone on the computer. you get a tape recorder and put the sound on it. then you use a line in patch cord to transfer it to the computer you need a wav recorder program.

but the mic on the computer as you know is crappy sounding.

Steegy-

Yeah, their player will remove the singer's voice (but not their editor), but what I really would like is to remove it from the mp3 then record that version without going through my microphone. I assume it's similar to recording a radio feed (which I'm clueless about as well).

You can do this with Karafun (record, and remove singer's voice), can't you? I suppose the KaraFun forum/support is a better place if you need help about that program.

I've played around with KaraFun and I've created a .kfn file, but I'd like to do the following:

1. Take an existing mp3 file and tweak it with Defx to remove the singer's voice. Then turn this back into an mp3 (or similar format).

2. Take it to my favourite karaoke place

3. Profit/admiration of the opposite sex!


Obviously, I need more help with step one, particularly trying to "record" the song on my computer's mic sounds crappy. Is there another way to do this?
