Understandable since I've been doing my own extractions for so long and expected it. There was a lot of gremlin stuff in the mono separations. Not projects necessarily where anyone's going to be microscopically inspecting each stem created. geared to separating old mono/stereo music to routinely fit in to remixed stereo or surround projects for film. As someone mentioned, Audionamix services are. I believe it was going to cost me a few hundred bucks to have the entire song de-mixed. They obviously spent some time with the track and commented back to me how challenging it was. I loaded the three tracks into the daw and played with them in various mono and pseudo stereo tests (adding delay etc) and the results were so-so. Bass and drums mono, guitars mono, and lead vocal mono. In that demix test of a 1960s mix song of mine (where the multitracks were lost ) the return files were split into three. and they emailed a short clip back a week or so later of what they could do with it. actually to an office of theirs in France or somewhere. I sent one of my more challenging tracks to them. I then contacted Audioanimix here in LA when they began offering the demixing 'service'. I don't have experience with whatever new plugs they have, but they probably operate on the same principle as Isolate and Spectralayers. I think mainly because by then, I was used to the workflow of Isolate and it works so well for me. Would you count ADX Trax Pro as a 'vocal remover' plug?Īs to Audionamix, I tried a plug they had about five years ago and it didn't work very well for me. Those are mostly hopeless as all they do is invert phase on the REMOTE CHANCE that your vocal is totally centered and effects-free. NEVER use one of the 'vocal remover' type plugs. But then I sometimes have to use Unveil to first or secondly knock out the reverb where present.Ĥ. But very effective if you put in the time. or I should say.de-mixing some of my old stuff. Spectralayers pro and/or the fantastic-but-discontinued 'Isolate' are my tools for eliminating. Absolutely no good for eliminating a mixed vocal where the vocal is off-center and/or where you have it surrounded by say, reverb.ģ. Buy a used akai 12 track on ebay, do your transfer into your daw with your fingers crossed, and then sell the Akai as fast as you can.Ģ. And as I recall the machine and or tape were so dicey that we were lucky to get a mix done at all.ĭoes anyone have a good process for isolating a vocal from a track that'll give results good enough to work with?In order of what I'd do/not do.ġ. Well I think I have it but it's an ancient format (AKAI 12 Track for anyone old enough to remember those). I've got an old song of mine that I need to do a new version of and I don't think I can get the multitrack to work with.
