Enhancing vocal in mp3 file

Make transcription easier by enhancing vocal line in your audio file

If there is no quality music sheet or midi file available for the song you are creating, you will have to determine the pitches in other way. No matter if you are doing it by ear or using some tool for automatic pitch recognition, enhancing the vocal line and reducing background instrumentals will make the process easier.

Using AI to separate music and vocals

You can use some online AI tool e.g. https://vocalremover.org/ to separate vocals and music.

Using Audacity

Audacity team has some good tutorials explaining how to enhance the vocal line:

Tutorial - Vocal Removal and Isolation - Audacity Manual

You will get the best results if you have an mp3 file with instrumental track. The first approach described in that tutorial may not give good results, but it is still worth a try if there is no instrumental version of the song available.
