How to separate music from vocal

On a recorded song, how do you separate the music portion from the vocal? My wife is a music teacher and she wants the children just to hear the music portion of a song.
Thanks.

I'm not sure if there's an easy program that will do this for you. However, one way to try is to use the EQ and remove the frequencies where the vocals reside. You might try this with the visual EQ, find the vocal range, and then pull down a steep curve. The downsides are 1) it won't be perfect, 2) it will also remove accompanying musical material also in those frequencies, 3) it will degrade the sound quality. Still, it might be a quick and dirty way to at least minimize the volume of the vocals while keeping the surround music.
There are some other techniques and programs out there that you might want to tinker with:

    I need help on how to transfer music from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s.  Thanks

    Apple's method is you sync the new phone to the same iTunes library you used with the old phone. You do not do a phone-to-phone transfer nor do you transfer items (except iTunes Store purchases ) from a phone to a computer.  Your computer's iTunes is the master and up-to-date repository of your media.

    how to send music from a ipodtouch to another with the bluetooth??

    There is no way you can do that. You should either transfer the music to the phone and play it from there, or you should connect the speaker to the computer itself (provided it is Bluetooth speaker).

    My friends music library is on a hard drive, I can move songs to my library, they play fine on my computer.....However, when I try to move them to my i-phone, they turn to a light grey color and will not play on my phone.  They also have a circle with dots in front of the song.

    I mean, using apple approved or suggested softwares.

    Hey there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
    It would also be a good idea to re-authorize your computer if you have any purchases from the iTunes store. Hope this helps.

  • How to retrieve music from ipod without syncing it

    So my computer was messed up and I'm missing a bunch of music so i was needing to get the music files back. I have them on my ipod but i cant view them in itunes unless i sync the ipod which would erase the songs not on the computer and defeat the purpose of what i'm trying to do. I have the 'manually manage music' option checked and when i open up my ipod file from my computer it doesn't have the music files only pictures and stuff. I know it's possible to get the music without erasing it but i forget how and its really annoying, so how would i do so?

    Here is the way about how to recover music from iPod
    Assuming you're using a Windows 7 or 8 computer here.
    Go to the start menu > type in hidd > open 'Show Hidden Files and Folders' > check the circle in that says Show hidden files, folders, and drives. > Click apply.
    Now plug your iPod in. Go to Computer > click on eg. 'Azrielrain's ipo (H:)' or whatever shows up that looks like that > iPod_Control > Music > The files underneath that.
    Now in those files will be mp3 or mp3 variants of your music, they will NOT however have the original names given to them. You can copy the files to your desktop, or music folder. That is pretty much the closest you'll get to being able to salvage your music from your iPod. Or you can use Data Recovery to help you recover your iPod music.

    How to move music from PC to Mac

    Network
    Flashdrive
    DVD
    External drive
    Email
    File transfer site
    Take your pick. You have several choices. The easiest, if your computers are networked, would be to drag and drop between the computers. Otherwise copying the files to a thumb drive or DVD then taking the thumb drive or DVD to the other computer is probably easiest. Although you could just upload the files to an online file transer site then download them to the other computer.
