What do you mean 'made'

An acapella is simply a song without music....Those 'pellas are official. The Veeeeeerry low music your straining your ears to listen to is leakage either from the desk or the head fones when the artist was recording.

If you want to make an acapella for yourself, sing one of your fav songs without any backing music and your sorted :wink: [/quote]

hahhahhahha that was funny

but hes right, all that you are hearing is leakage, most likely from the phones cuz most rappers like them sh*ts blaring.

you can try to make your own accaplllas with the original song and an instrumental version an try to phase out the beat, but theis is difficult and inconsistent.

Record your vocals on a seperate track(s) and later you just MUTE all other tracks and/or SOLO the vocal track(s)..

If you don't have a mutlitracker, wear headphones and singalong while recording into your recorder..

i just read the post a little differently.

you can get singles of songs and they will have the accapella. buy more 12".
