Vocal Reducers

    Vocal reducers are either electronic devices or software applications that attempt to suppress the lead vocals on a standard (non-karaoke) audio track. The vocals are never "completely" removed although they can sometimes be reduced to a point where they are inaudible while you are singing along. The quality of the music is always degraded to some degree.

    Many karaoke players have a "vocal canceling" feature which is the same as an electronic vocal reducer. These electronic types lack the adjustments that are found in some of the software applications and therefore do not usually achieve comparable results.

    I have tried many of the software vocal reducers that are available as either the "stand alone" type or are included as a feature of karaoke authoring and burning applications. In my opinion, the one that stands out above all others is PowerKaraoke's Karaoke Sound Tools.

    Karaoke Sound Tools contains more adjustments than the other applications which allows you to achieve better quality results. It also supports MP3 files, as well as WAV files, unlike most other applications.

    In addition, this same software will allow you to adjust the key and/or tempo of your sound tracks. Below are some Karaoke Sound Tools features.

Vocal Remover

Remove vocal parts from CD recordings

Control the amount of bass and treble processing

Remove vocals from non-centered recordings using balance

Adjust vocal removing level and output attenuation

Key changer

Adjust the song to singers voice

Change the pitch in -12 to +12 semitone (half-note steps) range

After processing, music instruments nor vocal have no chipmunk or time speed up or down, holding the tempo the same as if the original studio recorded in your key

you can process karaoke songs with lyrics (BIN and MP3+G)

Tempo Changer

Speed up or slow down the song

Change the tempo of the song from two times slower to twice as fast

Tempo changer retains the original key of the song

You can process karaoke songs with lyrics -- they will be adjusted to stay in sync All these tools can be fine-tuned in real time, and work with MP3, WAV, BIN, and CDG files.

If you use a karaoke BIN or MP3+G file and use tempo changer, the graphics part of the song will be adjusted so the lyrics are in sync with slower or faster version of the song. No other software has this feature.
