Removing Vocal Tracks with Ocenaudio: A Step-by-Step Guide

Ocenaudio, a free audio editor, provides a simple yet effective way to remove vocal tracks from songs. In this article, we will explore how to use Ocenaudio to isolate and remove vocals from an audio file.

One of the key features that makes Ocenaudio stand out is its ability to preserve the bandwidth around the center frequency when dragging it. This means that you can easily select a specific range of frequencies without affecting the overall tone or quality of the audio.

To start, open Ocenaudio and load your audio file into the software. Once loaded, select the 'Edit' tab and then click on the 'Spectrogram' button. In the Spectrogram window, adjust the frequency scale to 'Linear' mode by clicking on the drop-down menu in the top-right corner of the screen.

Next, drag the center frequency line to the desired location on the spectrogram. As you drag the line, notice how the bandwidth around it remains intact, preserving the tone and quality of the audio. You can also adjust the upper and lower frequency limits by dragging them up or down, respectively.

When selecting a range of frequencies, keep in mind that if neither the upper nor lower frequency limit is defined, the full frequency range will be selected. Conversely, if you drag the selection to the top of the track, the high-frequency limit will become undefined, and everything above the low-frequency limit will be included in the selection.

For example, if you set the high-frequency limit to around 5,000 Hz and leave the low-frequency limit undefined, the selection will include all frequencies below 5,000 Hz. Similarly, if you set both limits, the selection will be limited to the defined range of frequencies.

The center line in Ocenaudio is proportionally centered in Logarithmic scale, which is particularly useful for filtering purposes. This means that even when adjusting the Spectrogram scale to 'Linear' mode, the center line will still appear below the visual center of the frequency range, giving you a more accurate representation of the audio.

In conclusion, Ocenaudio's ability to preserve bandwidth around the center frequency and its intuitive interface make it an excellent tool for removing vocal tracks from songs. By following these simple steps, you can effectively isolate and remove vocals from your favorite songs using Ocenaudio.
