How can I extract vocals from a track to use as an acapella?

Hi, just as the title suggests I would like to know how to extract vocals from a song so I can then use it as an acapella using Audition CS5?
Also whilst I'm here, again using audition CS5, how can I determine the bpm of whatever sound file I have open, and furthermore how can I then match the bpm from another sound file to match the bpm of the track I'm working on?
Thanks for your time
Dan

Your success with isolating vocals from a song depends almost entirely on how the song was mixed, and will vary greatly.  There is no perfect solution, though many times the artifacts that remain can be minimized within a mix.  Generally, you'll have the best success with music where the vocals are panned to a specific location in the mix - usually dead center, but the tool can be used to isolate any position in the stereo field - without too much instrumentation spreading into this area.  Bass sounds are usually mixed center as well, so you may need to to some additional EQ or Spectral removal of low frequencies after you complete the extraction step.
The tool you'll want to use in Audition is the Center Channel Extractor effect, located under the Effects > Stereo Imagery menu.  Start with the Acapella preset, then change the Extract parameter to Custom for some additional control.  Select the region you wish to isolate (it's often better to isolate passages separately as, for example, verses can be mixed very differently from a chorus) and begin playback with the effect open.  Use the Power button to temporarily bypass the effect so you can note the differences. 
Adjust the Phase Angle and Pan parameters to maximize the vocals while minimizing the instrumentation.  Use the Frequency Range parameters to help reduce some of the low-end and high-end mix that is not associated with the vocals.  The two vertical controls on the right allow you to adjust the levels of what's being isolated vs. everything else. (Flip-Flop these to make a Karaoke mix.)  Under the Discrimination tab, the most important parameters will be the Crossover Bleed and Phase Discrimination controls.  You can adjust the FFT parameters under the Advanced tab, though I wouldn't recommend it until you're comfortable with the tool.  You don't necessarily need to know exactly what ever parameter does, but listen closely while you make adjustments and you'll begin to understand how each parameter affects the result.

    You cannot.

    You can restore the backup to your iPhone then sync the photos to your computer.

  • How can I extract pictures from a backup

    I update an iPhone 4 to iOS 7 and it's 16gb The iPhone that was completely out dated running iOS 4 so I updated it and backed it up but now iOS 7 takes up more of the storage and now I can't restore the backup but it's only the pictures this guy wants for his iPhone so how can I extract them?

    Restore the device using the backup.  Backups are only designed for use in restoring a device.
    If used as designed, pictures would have regularly been copied off the device to the computer for safe keeping.

    It is a known problem on Microsoft's end.
    From their site:
    "SYMPTOMS

  • How can I extract images from Numbers?

    Sounds a bit stupid but how do you extract images from Apples 'Numbers 3' on a Mac?  I have a client that sends images in XLS files, that normally in Word I would Alt Click and 'save as...'
    I was trying to stop using Word but this simple little feature will make all the difference.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Wayne,
    Thank you for your response.  Sadly if you do this it copies in to the MACs clipboard as a snap shot of the image at the dimensions in Numbers.
    Eg. 
    An image I've extracted from the document via Excel saved out at it's original dimensions 1024 x 300px, even though it was placed, then scaled down to 300px wide on the sheet.
    Same image copied then pasted in to an image editor (as I couldn't paste into finder) was only 300px wide.
    The feature I need is to be able to save out the original image placed in the Numbers sheet.
    Anyone with ideas on this?

    When you backup messages in iCloud, your SMS will be stored in Network. As i know, you cannot view the SMS. But you can try to sync to your iPhone or backup in iTunes. After that, you can extract your messages from iTunes with iPhone backup Extractor apps.

  • How can I extract images from a keynote presentation?

    Keynote itself sometimes provides images - for example, the cover of a book in the Leather Book theme. How can I extract this image in order to manipulate it? I saw an answer that seemed to help, which was to ensure that the keynote file was saved as a package - but there doesn't seem a way to make this happen with an existing presentation, since there is no 'Save As' any more and duplication doesn't seem to hack it. I'm using MacOS Lion 10.7.5.
    TIA

    I found a solution. In the Format area, select the "Image" tab. You should see the file name there. Click and hold the name and drag and drop it to your desktop (or anywhere else you want to save it). It worked perfectly for me. Hope it helps!

    XML portion always starts with <Infringement and ends with </Infringement>.
    Actually, it doesn't... the XML starts with the <?xml> tag, but that's just me being pedantic
    Given what you've said, though, it's easy to extract the XML data from a given block of text.
    First, read the source data:
    set theText to read file "path:to:the:file"
    Then you can extract the XML via something like:
    set start_tag to "<?xml"
    set end_tag to "</Infringement>"
    set start_of_data to offset of start_tag in theText
    set end_of_data to (offset of end_tag in theText) + (-1 + (length of end_tag))
    set theXML to text start_of_data through end_of_data of theText
    Now you can write that data to a file:
    set theFile to open for access file ((path to desktop as text) & "output.xml" as text) with write permission
    set eof theFile to 0
    write theXML to theFile starting at 0
    close access theFile
    If you have multiple files you can either run this in a loop that iterates over the files, or save the script as a droplet, then drop the files onto the script icon. Let me know if you need help with that, too.

  • How can I extract pages from a PDF? The Tools menu is missing.

    I used to be able to extract pages from my PDF file. I don't see the tools icon anymore. How can I access the tools icon?

    Hi lenm,
    To extract pages, you need to use Acrobat (not Adobe Reader). As I can attest (because I do have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same computer), it is quite easy to open files in Reader when you mean to open then in Acrobat. So, please make sure you have the right app open. (I pull this one all the time!)
    Now, if the Tools menu is missing from Acrobat, choose View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Show Toolbars to make them reappear.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara
