Sign in to disble this ad
Anybody know a program that can seperate the tracks of a song, so I get the bass by itself, vocals by itself, guuitars by itself, drums by itself etc...
Thank You |

If you get lucky you usually can get at least clear lyrics and sometimes bass separate from the mix but still with some bleeding.
I'm pretty sure it will be possible one day though. |

First do the bass isolate, then raise it an octave. Not too bad, but I didn't have as much success with guitar tracks.
Try the free 30 day trial, I bought the product after I tried it. Around $45.
I think the URL is www.sevenstrings.com |

You could pick out all the carrots and then try to form them back into something that might resemble a carrot... But it wouldn't be a carrot.
NB. There are always carrots in soup.

| | | | Actually, it's more like seperating eggs from a cake.
Because of the various effects that are typically applied to mixed tracks (reverb, stereo "enhancement", etc.), the process is even more complicated. Toss a distorted guitar into the mix, and you have a resulting waveform that's as thick as... well... cake dough.
that makes it very difficult to locate and seperate components.
If the bass is not panned (i.e. dead center in the mix, which is fairly common) then using the old left-channel reverse-phase then mix-to-mono trick will kill the bass, just like centered vocals. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
