Vocal Masking

When playing a stereo recorded source such as conventional audio CDs or tapes, you can reduce the lead vocal and replace it with your voice by singing into the microphone. Usually stereo recorded CDs are the best source for Vocal Masking.

The following sources are not good for Vocal Masking.

Monaural sources.

Multiplex karaoke tapes and discs.

Poorly dubbed tapes.

Stereo recorded source, but with only few instruments, with duets, or with strong echo.
