    Ableton Live
    Live organizes multiple passes of an audio or MIDI performance into individual takes. Pick the best moments of each performance and combine them to create your perfect take. Or approach sound design in a new way by splicing together random samples from your library. Link two or more tracks to edit their content simultaneously. This makes editing multi-tracked instruments or performances with multiple musicians easy and fast whilst keeping everything in time across tracks. This feature also works for MIDI tracks. Plug in your MPE-capable controller and immediately add bends, slides and pressure for each individual note in a chord. Add subtle expression variations, morph between chords and create evolving sonic textures. MPE stands for MIDI Polyphonic Expression. This way of using MIDI allows MPE-capable devices to control multiple parameters of every note in real-time for more expressive instrumental performances.

    Audioalter

    Audioalter

    Audioalter

    This is a free web tool that allows you to remove the vocals from a song to create a karaoke version of it. How good the results will be depends on how the track is recorded. If any instruments are centered, they will also get removed. The vocals are removed by using the OOPS (Out Of Phase Stereo) effect. The OOPS effect relies on that most songs have the the vocals perfectly centered while the instruments are panned slightly to the left and right channel. The two channels are then subtracted from each other, and since the vocals are as present on the left channel as the right channel, they will cancel each other out and dissapear. This tool is specifically made to be used with voice recordings and will reduce unwanted sounds from the recordings while trying to maintain a good audio quality.
