Dubstepforum.com

I've searched all the obvious free sites like Acappellas4u and stuff, but I haven't found one, So I searched here but didn't find anything but that BS invert the instrumental stuff, which I think you can see why that wouldn't work for a track of that age. If there's already a thread that I missed, get the flaming stuff over with quick like and point me in the right direction pleasseeee.

Soooo does anybody have a favorite acapella site that they go to for older stuff? You'd think with it being so big it wouldn't be so bleeding hard to find innit?


Any help goes toward the furthering of musical Ideas organization, this is a non-profit organization specializing in the delivery of good music and lulz.

Thanks in advance guys

Let me elaborate, I'm just looking for acapellas by anybody of "If it ain't got that swing" I like the louis armstrong version but it Doesn't matter as long as it's executed roughly the same way as the original.

i dont want to sound discourageing but honestly i doubt you'll find this, at least not as a clean, ready to lay on a track acapella

if you have vinyl turntables (or have a mate that'll let you access his) i'd suggest digging the jazz bargain bin of your local 2nd hand vinyl shop and try sampling vocals yourself, sure you probably wont find an acapella either but i guess thats the closest you'll get with old sounds like these

this or change the idea for your track and make it with a black eyed peas accapella

Yeah I finally Gave up on it, I realized that they recorded things differently back then so if a truly clean acapella EVEN exists it's not going to be of that version innit ahha.

Bummer, I decided I'd settle for some sultry RNB, I was just really bent on it haha.

Would you like me to make a beat for your track too?

Not a case of recording things differently back then, just a case that back when Louis was doing his thing, the idea of recording the vocal by itself was pretty off whack, and allowing it to be distributed WITHOUT the backing track was completely unheard of. This was back was artistic integrity and copyright laws actually meant something in the world.

I know what I said and all but I basically meant that they recorded it all as one sound, not separate pieces, so it'd be nigh impossible to get an acapella because it doesn't exist.

It was meant to be inferred, bru.

Safe,

Yeah I looked all over, and even spent a fair amount of time trying to EQ it out of the original, which yielded naught.

I honestly don't see how NOBODY has attempted even a DIY on it, which I could fix up =/.

didnt someone post a tutorial on using photoshop to edit audio waves... perhaps there is way you can layer the images to get the accapella.....

I am not proficient enough with audio waves or photoshop, to accomplish anything at all by combining the two besides a massive headache.

Interesting Idea though innit? I'd like to hear some results.


Wouldn't that involve having an instrumental(impossible in this case) though?

I just pee'd a little


I am buying this thank you sir!

To clarify (for those who don't understand why an acapella from the 30's or 40's would be so hard to find) -

records were usually made with one mic in the middle of the studio; instrument levels were not controlled by faders on separate channels - they were controlled by the musician physically moving closer to/away from that one mic.

Stereo was invented in the 40's, but took a while to catch on as anything more than a novelty and for use in film soundtracks; the recording studios pushed back a little too because it meant going out and buying a 2nd mic... in fact, stereo was still kind of a recording novelty up until the 60's. You can hear people who were obviously not used to using it (and who were probably also very high) doing all kinds of unnatural hard panning on some late 60's records.

But anyway, multitrack recording as we know it didn't come along until Les Paul came along in the 50's. If acapellas from, say, the 30's exist, they were recorded that way for a reason, and popular music was for the most part dance music, so it's more likely to be opera or folk recordings of some sort.

Really is a bummer that it didn't come around sooner though innit?

oddly enough this is one of those cases where if the tune has a centered vocal and other elements panned you can use phase inversion trick on the individual stereo channels and possibly drop or lessen some of the elements and pull up something a bit cleaner acapella wise
you're going to want a wav file to do this in not a mp3 or upencoded from a mp3 but something ripped from cd directly to wav

Not really, keeps people like you from making terrible dubstep remixes of shit like Armstrong.
