trackit · January 31, 2005, 11:00am

Well.

On acidplanet.com, Sony Music offers some acapella versions of famous tracks for remixing in Acid Pro-Competitions…

Hey! my first post on this forum
I have Acid pro 4… got it from a friend. Since its a sequencer i’m not familiar with the interface, and i have no idea what it can do. I only use it to + or - transpose vocals or whatever samples, so i can use them in Renoise.

But placing a bunch of colored bars in order doesnt feel like composing to me. How come so many people (professianals) use sequencers? Whats wrong with them . Trackers rock

Thanks i’ll check it out!!

i found only 2 acapellas there… is there more somewhere?

Kcirr3d · February 2, 2005, 12:10pm

I thougt there were more… you can ask the people in the fan section

trackit · February 4, 2005, 3:17pm

Can someone explain me please why many acapellas have quiet instrumental part heard on background? Some of them have very very quiet, some little louder…

I thought that maybe those are normal songs with instrumental part supressed with filters and noise removal tools, but then again. the quality of vocals would not be any good then… actually it would be terrible, i think…

I’ve heard that the mic picks up the sound from the singer’s headphones, which would explain that you only hear the high frequencies. Then again I find it odd that it cannot be isolated better. But in the final mix, the music isn’t audible anyway so maybe noone cares.

Thanks for the first link, thats exactly what i’ve searched, resuable vocals without copyright issues! I have found the second site too today, started from the link in the music subforum.

vvoois · February 6, 2006, 1:31pm

I rather use CC licensed samples… maybe a nice twist for the next BeatBattle.

Beatslaughter · February 6, 2006, 1:47pm

Why not, but it takes lots of time browsing this site, there is lot’s of overrated stuff, but i have found one very good acapella, which i think is useful for a song.

Kcirr3d · March 31, 2006, 11:37am
