I can't open the file, as it's a .flac file.

Really nice, Annabelle.

It's a bit difficult to isolate the voice. The general gain is low (-12 dB)
There's also a lot of music panned to the middle and the correlation is high
(87 %).


Here's take two after processing:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/trs5i2yfenj4js7/Canadian%20Lullaby%20%5BTake%202%5D.flac?dl=0

I don't know if the remaining music will be sufficiently masked by your new
accompaniment.

Cheers
Robert

What I'm trying to do is have my voice track to put into a project I
made in

Sonar, which I had to reconstruct from scratch after accidentally
formatting

the hard drive that all my Sonar projects were on. This incident
occurred about 4 months ago, and I'm still mad at myself for ever
making that particular mistake, since unfortunately I never made a
back-up of that particular project!


Well, you can send me a sample of the file or a link to it.
I'll look what's achievable then.

I would in any case update your Audacity version if I were you.

However, I can provide you with the plug-in if you want to use it with
2.1.0


Regards
Robert

Hi Annabelle

"Vocal Reduction and Isolation" is included and shipped with Audacity
from Version 2.1.1 (current release) on.
I'm the author of it by the way.


It might be that you have to enable it first with the "Manage" dialog
in the Effects menu.
If this still doesn't work you'll have to go deeper and remove all
*.cfg files that are stored in your user folder.
I can give you the step by step instructions if this should be necessary.

The plug-in will only work if your Track is in stereo and if the
other instruments are differently panned than your voice.

An increased "Strength" improves the isolation results but the track
must usually be amplified or normalised afterwards.

What do you want to do with the isolated voice? Remix it with
different music or just change the balance/volume of it?

This is the crucial point with regard to further processing.

Regards
Robert

Hi Annabel

Vocal Isolation and Reduction is in the Audacity Efects Menu. Alt-c
followed by v should do the trick. Having had a quick play with it,
I am not convinced you will get the level of retrieval of your voice
you want, but I didn't check it out in much detail.

If it isn't in your copy of Audacity, how old is your version?

Hi, it's Annabelle.
I'm looking on the Audacity Wiki, and it seems that I can't find
the Vocal Isolation and Reduction plugin. Is it a regular Audacity
plugin?
Is it a VST plugin? Is it a Nyquist plugin? I'm confused! Where do
I search? I'm trying to recreate the raw track of my voice from a
mixdown track, but all I have is all the instruments and vocals
mixed together on one track. What do I do next?
