Editing Program

Post by holache » Mon Feb 18, 2008 9:11 pm

Hello everyone,
I am new to the music editing world. The question I have is: Is there a program or a plug-in for Audacity were I can open a music track and as an output get just the drum beats, or at least something clouse to it. I need it because every time I remove the vocals the drums get also remove.
I am sorry if I dont make muyself clear.

Thank you all in advance!

Eduardo

The "Remove Vocals" trick in Audacity works on the principle that vocals are almost always in the centre of a mix. So if the drums are also in the centre they get lost too. Beyond that, there's no way in Audacity of successfully isolating or removing a specific instrument or voice.

<<<there's no way in Audacity of successfully isolating or removing a specific instrument or voice.>>>

And don't pin any hopes on any of the other packages, either. This is, in variations, a common question. It's a cousin to the noise removal question for a lot of the same reasons. Rough or impossible to separate a voice from other voices or echoes, or pull a cello out of the orchestra unless they're provided with a solo.
