Anyone have any recommendations (or offers)?

I'm working on a remix of UFO Feat. Elaine far away as a request. The original vocal track sung by Elaine (and presumably the song itself as it was never released in full) was lost when he suffered from a hard drive failure a while back. I plan on releasing my remix for free; I can still pay for the work, although I doubt I'll be able to pay more than $40 USD. _{I wish I could say it's because I'm a cheapskate. :\}

I've tried to extract the vocals using both Audacity and Sound Forge... the results have actually been somehwat decent, but in with the rest my mix it doesn't sound nice at all (there are several high-frequency elements - crashes and bubbly sweeps - that muck it up, plus it sounds a little scratchy overall).

Argh, I feel like a bellend now for not asking you in the first place.

I'll upload it to SC as a private track and link only you to it once it's finished.

Original is an absolute fcuking weapon of a tune. Love it.

You've got some skills, so I'd be interested to hear what you do with this.

Excellent use of the term bellend for a non-Brit! Well done!

I found it interesting too that a non-English person should use that word.

A lot of my software is set to en_GB as well. It's that irresistible British charm, and it doesn't help that Jay radiates it wherever he goes.

Ha! You're actually quite good with the English stuff (from our chats on facebook).
