There is now a way to create an unlimited library of
background music to accompany you whenever you want to sing, using the original
music from your favorite songs. KaraokeMaker reduces or removes the vocals from
any song that you have on your computer. It works with Wav files, mp3 files and
it will even “rip” songs from any audio CD (ripping feature only
available on 95/98/ME). With an easy to use interface
and other great features like pitch change and scrollable lyrics, KaraokeMaker
will be there when you just have to sing out loud!

KaraokeMaker performs its magic by using an advanced stereo cancellation
algorithm to remove vocals from mp3 files, wav files and songs on any audio CD.
The theory behind the stereo cancellation process is that when vocals are
recorded and placed in the middle of the stereo field, they can easily be
removed, leaving behind what is unique in the left and right channels. This is
usually the rest of the band. The results are that you can now have any of your
favorite songs with the vocals removed or greatly reduced. Instant Karaoke!

It is important to note that, just as we do not live in a perfect world, vocals
are not always recorded in the exact middle of the stereo field. The amount of
deviation from the center is the amount that the vocals will remain in the
processed song. In practice, we have found that 25% of all music will yield
excellent results, 50% will yield acceptable results and the remaining 25% will
yield unacceptable results. These results are consistent with home stereos that
have a built-in Karaoke feature and with dedicated Karaoke machines that are on
the market today that use original recordings and not special, pre-recorded
Karaoke music.
Another caveat is that the source file must be a stereo recording. Music
recorded prior to the mid 1960's was not recorded in stereo and therefore will
not be an acceptable source for KaraokeMaker.
Even so, you can still use the pitch change and lyric display features of
KaraokeMaker to sing along even when the original vocals are still present. In
fact, it is sometimes a benefit to have some of the original vocals present to
act as an audible cue when learning a new song. All in all, KaraokeMaker is a
great tool to help you sing your favorite songs. When you just have to sing out
loud, think of KaraokeMaker.
