Most of the remixes that were supposed to be on this CD are on this forum. All of nerd42's remixes, Confessions, and 1 or 2 others...

How do you make thses? How does one extract vocals etc from a cd?

Only a few songs will let you extract vocals. For example, if you tried this with "Your Horoscope For Today", you'd still have a lot of instrumental parts left, and the background vocals would be cut.

There are some audio editing programs which can do stuff like this, but most just say "remove vocals", not "remove music". Adobe Audition is what I use, and I think soundforge does this as well...I'll have to see.
That's as much as I know. I haven't actually done any remixes, I only know how to remove stuff.

I'm looking forward to hearing this:

White & Nerdy 4-Minute Remix (a W&N battlemix set to the music of Madonna's "4 Minutes")

That would indeed be a challenge, all though it'd be awesome to hear!

Can somebody get me the guitar separated on "I'll Sue Ya"? I'd like to set up a Frets On Fire (open source guitar hero) song for it http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/

I talked to a guy I know who burns Dolby digital discs and he said there is no way of making remixes such as vocals only drums vocals etc from the original disc that is sold in the stores. He said the only way you guys have the remix of SOL is because someone got the full recordings of each individual track from the studio.

That guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

Actually, if the guy is talking about this, then he might know what he's talking about, because those are taken from the 5.1 mix of the album, not a regular CD.

No, he knows what he is talking about.
Alejandra is right...the mixes that we took the SOL Naked copies from were out of the 5.1 mix.

It is near impossible to FULLY extract any one piece from a typical Audio recording. There are programs and hardware that can assist you in doing a somewhat decent job, but even then, not all recordings work with these. Trust me, I've worked in studios for the past 5 years as a hobby and we've had tons of kids coming in wishing they could do it. We did the best we could, but in the end, it's easier just to re-record the whole thing and it will sound better.
