How to Extract Vocals From Music Tracks Using Acid Pro 6

Extract vocals using Sony Acid Pro 6.

You can extract vocals from music tracks on Sony Acid Pro 6 by splitting the stereo track of an MP3 song. Most MP3 songs are mixed in stereo format; therefore, extracting vocals is less time-consuming than with a WAV file. While some WAV files are presented in a stereo format, the recordings are distorted when compared to that of an MP3 file. Sony Acid Pro 6 makes it possible for you to extract vocals from music tracks by using the on-board mixer and track editor.
