Isolating vocal tracks
Isolating vocal tracks
I am trying to decipher a vocal harmony part and my shit ears can't pick it apart from the main vocal. Is there any software that can take apart these tracks or other tracks (guitars, drums, etc.) in general?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

If you ever find this fabled software, use it to pump up Joe's vocals on CtC. And lower the backing vocals.matedog wrote:I am trying to decipher a vocal harmony part and my shit ears can't pick it apart from the main vocal.

Re: Isolating vocal tracks
I tried isolating Joe's vocal and really all that's left is minimal percussion and the vocals and I still can't hear him on Cool Under Heat. Oh and the track I was working on, I was able to isolate the vocals, but not split the two vocals.Heston wrote:If you ever find this fabled software, use it to pump up Joe's vocals on CtC.

Apply that to the mastered track, but louder, and we've got Bernie by the balls.matedog wrote:I tried isolating Joe's vocal and really all that's left is minimal percussion and the vocalsHeston wrote:If you ever find this fabled software, use it to pump up Joe's vocals on CtC.

I'm intrigued by any attempt to fix CtC, no matter how minimal.Heston wrote:Apply that to the mastered track, but louder, and we've got Bernie by the balls.matedog wrote:I tried isolating Joe's vocal and really all that's left is minimal percussion and the vocalsHeston wrote:If you ever find this fabled software, use it to pump up Joe's vocals on CtC.

Re: Isolating vocal tracks
I've used Adobe Audition 1.5 to do the same. Not perfect but does the job to a certain level.

Sorry for not responding to you and Marky. I'm sure I used Audacity and maybe this tutorial: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tut ... ation.htmlHeston wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 8:58amDo you still have this?matedog wrote: ↑20 Jun 2009, 4:48pmI tried isolating Joe's vocal and really all that's left is minimal percussion and the vocalsHeston wrote:If you ever find this fabled software, use it to pump up Joe's vocals on CtC.

It didn't work great. I remembered it sounding really spacey/echoy. I'd have to dust off the old laptop to try to track down the file, but it wasn't particularly good.

Re: Isolating vocal tracks
No worries. Don't put yourself out if it didn't sound so great. I was just fantasizing about having a decent (nearly) isolated Joe vocal.matedog wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 11:32amSorry for not responding to you and Marky.
