And Your Bs Can Sing (Vocal Isolations) -- Chronological

[beatlesondvd]

Although many isolations of Beatles recordings have been released or posted over the past decade or so, only a small number feature just the isolated vocal track or tracks (to the exclusion of everything else), particularly for the early years.

I plan to post vocal isolations for every Beatles song released between 1961 and 1970, and for a select number of other tracks as well.

The vocals were isolated using the free X-Minus Pro AI Internet service. Although the files are lossy (X-Minus only provides mp3 versions), these isolations aren't available elsewhere, or don't sound as good. One of the downsides of working from mp3 files is that I cannot edit them without degrading the quality further. So, in many instances, the vocals only start after several seconds of dead air. (These timings are listed next to each track.)

I have carefully selected what I felt was the best version of each recording in order to extract the best vocal isolation. (Sources are listed below).

Part 1 features the Beatles in the studio, pre-EMI.

Track list:
1. Ain't She Sweet
2. Money (That's What I Want) [vocal starts at 0:12,7]
3. The Sheik of Araby [vocal starts at 0:04,4]
4. Memphis, Tennessee [vocal starts at 0:10,7]
5. Three Cool Cats
6. Sure to Fall (In Love with You) [vocal starts at 0:08,1]
7. September in the Rain
8. Take Good Care of My Baby [vocal starts at 0:01,4]
9. Till There Was You [vocal starts at 0:08,2]
10. Crying, Waiting, Hoping [vocal starts at 0:06,9]
11. To Know Her Is to Love Her [vocal starts at 0:01,9]
12. Besame Mucho [vocal starts at 0:01,8]
13. Searchin' [vocal starts at 0:07,2]
14. Like Dreamers Do [vocal starts at 0:04]
15. Hello Little Girl [vocal starts at 0:01,1]
16. Love of the Loved [vocal starts at 0:07,6]

Enjoy!

Note: An earlier version of this post presented a hodge-podge of isolations. I'm now posting them in chronological order.

Thank You for posting the above songs . I been using the same site for downloading Beatles and Stones Backing Tracks and Vocal Tracks . Thank You again for sharing with us .

beatlesondvd, thanks for your work!

Some years back I looked for an app that would do non-destructive MP3 editing and came across Fission (Mac). "Fission never causes quality loss when it edits, even with the MP3 and AAC formats."

There are probably other similar apps for Windows.

I went through your tracks here and trimmed the tops and tails and normalized (overall) where needed.

If someone can confirm the resaved MP3s suffered no damage I would appreciate it as I do this all the time

I've now done all vocal isolations up to 1964. I'll try to post the next batch (1962 -- EMI) by the end of the week.

Becoming a member on x-minus pro by registering as a patreon is possible for just 1 Dollar a month. The advantage is getting wave files instead of mp3 and HQ extractions. You can cancel your membership at any time as far as i know

[beatlesondvd]

Interesting. Have you done it? Do you get an unlimited amount of extractions per day?

[AndInTheEnd]

Poo and damnations, I missed out on this one. Can any kind chap - or chappess - please put a fresh link up, perchance?

Thanks so very much you wonderful peeps.
