Convert mp3 to karaoke version?

[MisterBigglesworth]

Hiya guys,

Got a song MP3 version that I want to convert to a karaoke version, so basically cut out the vocals in the song. I have tried looking for a karaoke version of the song, but had no luck. Need it for a presentation. Anyone know of software that can do this, or how I can do this myself?

Any help appreciated, thanks

A Google search of "turning mp3 into karaoke song" gave me plenty hopeful looking results. Did you use it?

One of the first ones is from wiki answers : http://www.wikihow.com/Take-an-MP3-File-and-Delete-the-Words-to-Create-Karaoke

[edit] Removing Vocals Yourself

1. Get the regular MP3/OGG/WAV of the song you want. Make sure it's legal, in stereo and of the highest possible quality (at least 128kfor MP3, 192k is better)
2. Obtain a copy of the free audio editor Audacity. Other programs are available, but they usually cost and this will do fine. Install the program, read the help files and familiarize yourself with the interface, as the individual instructions are beyond the scope of this article.
* Download the LAME MP3 codec if you want to export your project to MP3, and install it per the instructions for Audacity.
3. Import the MP3 to a new project in Audacity.
4. Open the track menu (click the arrow next to the track title), and choose “Split Stereo Track.”
5. Select the lower track (the right channel) by clicking it in the area around the mute/solo buttons.
6. Cut the bass out of the second channel from around 100hz and below (adjust cut frequency to keep bass guitar, kick drum and other bass instruments that are below voice frequencies)
7. Choose “Invert” from the Effects menu.
8. Using the track menus, change each track to “Mono.”
9. Listen to your track, and if it sounds alright to you, go ahead and export it to MP3 or WAV, depending on what you need.
