I would like to know how to make some instrumentals from some of my favorite songs. I haven't found any software that says specifically that it can make instrumentals out of an audio file. Someone must know how! iTunes used to be able to do it, but apparently not anymore Can anyone help out?

itunes could never do it, here's why:

an audio file is a single thing, and the components of a song (the vocal, the drums, for example) cannot be seperated out from that single file.

there are tricks to minimize the vocal, reversing phase for example, (such tools have been around for decades),
but basically, it can't be done.


the multitrack files that make up that file, ie the pro tools files, are what you'd need to get whay you want.


still,
maybe someone else here can suggest something else...?

Search this forum for "karaoke" or "kill vocals" or some such.

Your question has been covered in detail several times.

I think using iTunes' built-in Equalizer would give a fairly crude solution. Just find which frequency represents the bit you want to remove, and take down the volume on that frequency. If you like the result you can go to Get Info on the song and make sure it always uses that Equalizer preset.
