Does anyone know of any war artists?

Anyone know how to copy an artists voice using audacity?

• I downloaded this audacity program cause someone told me on yahoo answers that I could copy an artists voice. For example- T-Pac and Naz. They are both dead but yet aritsts and DJ's around the country make CD's out of them and remixes of their songs. They can use a program and copy their voice to create a new song about them or something. I dont know if they type the words in or what they do to get them to sing using the program but anyhow- Someone on yahoo answers told me to use audacity but 1st of all I have no clue how to use this program to copy an artists voice and 2nd of all the person never responded to my email messages which is no help to me at all. Anyone know how to use this program and can you tell me how? thanks so much. PS I have some rap beats I would like to use so that the artists can sing along to the beat. I would like their voice to sound good when mixed with the beats.

• Answer:

  Removing vocals from a mixed track is like adding ketchup to your soup, then trying to remove the ketchup. The person that told you that you can do this with software was wrong. The vocals are mixed, with everything else, on two tracks. Other than some weird things that can be done with inverting the phase on portions of the stereo image, you aren't really going to be able to lift vocals from a mixed track. To do a "remix", you'd need the original tracks from the multitrack. There is also no magical program that allows you to type new words in and have the "copied" voice sing or rap these words. It just isn't going to happen. Sorry.
