Help with sound editing

[forumJunkie]

A group of friends and I want to play a song for a wedding. However, we really need the drumbeat in the back w/o the person singing, w/o the guitars playing, and w/o the piano playing.
Yea our "band" doesn't have a drummer just two guitarists and a person on keyboard.

Well, I was wondering if there's any program out that could help me out with that?

Any suggestions guys?

Guys, I found out a way to do it. There's a couple programs out that can help you. AV's MP3 Morphing program, which will knock out the sound for you but you can only have 10 saves until it starts asking you to purchase the $90+ software.

So I found out why they can make it work. Remember 90% of the time they use the "voice" on the center. So we're going to muffle it down tremendously. You need a sound editing program. Open up a new file, and use MONO not Stereo at 16 bit. Open up the MP3 file that you want. Next, you're going to take the whole left channel and copy it into the MONO file that you created. Then you take the whole right channel and you're going to mix it into the left channel but INVERT it at 100% volume. Voila you have no more voice!

Posting to my own topic, I'm a genius!

Oh I found out one more thing that you can do. If you have Guitar Pro, which is not free, but if you do have it and you can find the GP4 file for the song that you want, you can knock out percussion, strings, guitar sounds, everything. Then you'll have the "midi" style song without the extra clutter so that you can practice.
