yeah man..still got a bunch of those. they still do it for big releases (read: singles), especially down here in ATL almost every big rap hit gets a vinyl release like that. hell, i've even been handed demo cds from upcoming rappers with the instrumental/acapella tracks on them.

i can vouch that jamglue is a legit resource. been using it for ages now. lots and lots of shit quality to sift through but hey, it's free.

Some extra information for you.

has anyone ever gotten an acapella from an artist?
Wai Rofkahr

Nice! I've been searching for torrents, most are just crap. I had my other DJ friend give me something like 2 gigs worth of a capellas, half of which were old old songs, some new, mostly great quality- but I reformated my HD and lost them

Maybe I'll see if I can get a hold of him again...

As far as contacting the artist... I wonder how I'd get ahold of Lady Gaga

Thanks for the links!

Good point! Never thought about just asking the artist for the acapella, thanks.
Cristian Carmona

^ thnx!

I would also look the legal route and just ask the artist of see if you can get the acapella you are looking for.

A Capella (Acapella) & Instrumental - How to Extract

Got a lot of this information from here http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=2722

- Acapella Download Sites
http://www.acapellas4u.co.uk/
http://www.soundarea.org/
http://www.jamglue.com/
http://www.worksessions.com/

- Search Google, torrent, or download sites for a capella or acapella
http://thepiratebay.org/
http://www.mininova.org/
http://rapidlibrary.com/
http://community .audionews.ru/ (Registration currently closed)
http://torrentz.com/ (Torrent aggregate website)

- Compilations on CD and Vinyl that leave just the vocal tracks

- Using a 5.1 Track CD/DVD
The center channel on a 5.1 CD/DVD usually almost always carries a perfect acapella
Extract using http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVD_Audio_Extractor

- Audio Invert (For acapella and instrumental)
Use Ableton or another DAW
This audio invert basically works though the cancellation effect created by mixing a inverted version of a track with an original version of the track. Anything that is identicle in the track will be subtracted from the output leaving only differences in the track, in this case thats the vocals. As long as the two versions of the track are perfectly identicle (bit for bit) to one another with the only difference being the material that you want to isolate then this method works flawlessly.

- Filtering Methods (Should be your lost option if all else has failed)
