Serious audio recording started at the beginning of the 20th century, but it took until the 1940s before multitracking — the process of recording separate elements of a piece of music, then editing them together later — got started. Now, having vocals, drums, instrumental tracks and more all in separate digital audio files makes it simple to bring up the bass or eliminate a drumbeat from a track. But if you don’t have those separate audio pieces that can be manipulated individually, it’s virtually impossible to go into a finished song and surgically remove a vocal or some other specific piece on your own cleanly. Or, at least, it was virtually impossible. Thankfully, the advancement of technology now allows almost anyone to break songs down to the base elements and act like a real audio engineer with a tool like EasySplitter Pro Vocal Remover ($39.99 for a lifetime subscription; over 90 percent off from TNW Deals). EasySplitter uses the magic of artificial intelligence to act like a scalpel, finely stripping apart the base elements of any piece of music. The app expertly identifies vocal and instrumental tracks, then separates the two, creating two individual audio tracks that are available for downloading in a matter of seconds. This Pro membership allows even finer control, cleaving each song into four stems, with separate tracks for vocals, instrumentals, bass, and drums. You can listen to each element in EasySplitter’s built-in audio player and even save your stems in your account for up to 30 days if you want to download them later. This access allows users to EasySplit up to almost 1,000 songs per year. For a musician, it’s an invaluable mixing asset, as vocalists, DJs, composers, music engineers and others can take EasySplitter stems and easily drop them into recording projects in all the most popular digital audio workstations. Meanwhile, dabblers and karaoke fans can simply strip out the vocals from a song like “Someone Like You” and belt out their best Adele like the song was written just for them. The EasySplitter Pro Vocal Remover is available now at over 90 percent off, with a lifetime subscription on sale for just $39.99. Prices are subject to change.
