| Hey all, how's it goin'? I was just wondering if anyone could tell me where I might look to find some kind of tool that separates and singles out instruments and such on recordings. Thanks. |

| does such a thing exist? That seems pretty freaking advanced. I would think that you'd have to get the unmixed master recordings for that. |

| I'm not completely sure that something like that exists but I could swear I've seen something comparable. |

you might be able to do something like this on old stereo recordings by adjusting the left or right channels but is impossible to do properly without the original master tapes, esp. on modern recordings with umpteen seperate layered tracks.

The new Melodyne may be able to (when it comes out) but its really meant for solo polyphonic instruments. For example take a guitar track and change some notes within a chord. For whole mixes I think it'll work if there are few instruments and it's not too busy, like the jazz recording they use in one of the videos. Otherwise I dont know, but we'll have to wait till it comes out. There are programs for Karaoke which cancel out the vocals by playing around with the phase. This usually works because the vocals are *usually* in the center. You'll still hear the reverb from the vocals though. Sometimes it'll take out other instruments too, but it totally depends on how the song is mixed. I used to use the karaoke button on my stereo all the time because it usually brings up the guitars (because they're usually panned left or right) and made it easier to learn the parts. It worked especially well on old Rush albums  |

A good multi-band equaliser and those things on the side of your head that you hang your sunglasses on
