RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted November 22, 2005 I use CE/Adobe Audition every day, and I don't know of a feature that will remove specific instruments from a mixed file. There is a Mid Channel remover that sometimes works to remove vocals (depending on hopw the original file was mixed) but I've never known it to do instruments. What exactly have you tried so far?

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Hmmm....I'm still confused. Is it possible that you've only highlighted on channel and the guitar parts you are talking about are only on one channel?If that is the case, Go to Effects > Amplitude > Channel Mixer and Select "Both =" whatever side your currently playing.Then save the file. Save a second copy of the song before you start this, just in case you (or I) mess this up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 And people said splicing tape was too hard. We learned tape first....which is sad, because I went to college in '95. I loved the bad double breath. Guys in school used to do it all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I downloaded it to hear what you're hearing....I think that is it...Follow those instructions from my post above...and select Both=Left. I think the lead guitar is mixed heavy on the right. That should give you mostly the Bass/Rhythm/Drums/Vocal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jay 1 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 There are all kinds of tricks and tools for doing vocal/instrument extraction from what I understand. I'm not sure what any of them are but that's how people are creating all these "mash-ups" you hear nowadays. Do a search for vocal or instrument extraction and see what you come up with.
