Question about audio with headphones, etc?

Question

Very random, but if you plug your headphones in a music player juuust right (like it's barely in but you can still hear music.) It will play only various sounds of the song. I want to say it sounds instrumental, but sometimes it is only a lot of vocals.

My question is, is there a way to record what I am hearing, or a way to mimic it using a music program?

Thanks for any tips. :)

Your best bet is to download an audio editing software (like Audacity) and mess with the frequencies of the audio samples in the music file. By doing so, you can adjust what sounds get passed through what channels and at what frequencies you would like to cut off at.

By tweaking with these settings, you will be able to alter the original file in a way such that you can make it sound like an instrumental or mess with what sounds get passed through. You can't actually "record" the exact noise you heard when you barely plugged in the headphones because as far as your music player is concerned, it's playing the original file. The sound you are hearing is a result of the hardware not being fully plugged in. That's why I would say your best bet is to try and mimic this using some kind of software, which would enable you to save the sounds.
