* Introduction

  VoiX is an Open Source Vocal Eliminator. There are so many vocal elimination
softwares, but few are open-source. So after trying 2 or 3 this kind of
softwares, I decide to write my own vocal eliminator.

  VoiX is distributed under the GPL license published by the "Free Software
Foundation". So you can modify and/or redistribute it under the terms of GPL.

  VoiX is developed based on VirtualDub's Center Cut filter by Avery Lee, and
written in ANSI C. If you want a Winamp Plugin based on the same algorithm, you
can download "dsp_centercut" at moitah.net.
================================================================================
* Usage

Usage: voix.exe <infile> [outfile] [options]

Options: <lowpass> <highpass>

<lowpass>: Cutoff frequency (in Hz) for low-pass filter
<highpass>: Cutoff frequency (in Hz) for high-pass filter

Example: voix.exe input.wav output.wav 200 8000
