Remove other sound and extract speech?

Post by moviemixer » Sat Mar 20, 2010 11:39 am

Hello. I'm a newbie and it's my first time using Audacity. I recorded an audio file from a videogame, I'm trying to make a youtube video you see. I recorded it line-in from the TV and I think it's stereo.

I used other sound editors but I read Audacity is the best one to separate sound. Is it possible and if it is how easy/hard it is?

There is no simple way to do this. See this post: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 118#p77118

Thank you for giveing me the link stevethefiddle. But will it be harder to extract speech because other than background music there are several noises as well?

speech is a sound
but what is the *other* sound
makes a big difference in whether this can be done easily or at all

Nobody can actually separate individual instruments or voices from a mixed performance. Under some very tightly restricted circumstances with a perfect quality (uncompressed -- non-MP3) stereo show, you might be able to do some vocal or instrument isolation with one of these tools.
