Ira Seigel Posted April 19 Report Posted April 19 I have a film project coming up in which software to separate dialogue and effects and break down a mixed soundtrack into individual stems might be useful. Have any of you folks done something similar, especially with the 2 pieces of software mentioned? Suggestions to use Cedar would not, I believe, be germane to this project. TIA, ira Quote
inspire Posted April 20 Report Posted April 20 Ableton Live 12 Suite has an audio separator feature that easily separates into four individual tracks / stems: Vocal, Bass, Drum, and Other. NB! This feature is only available in the more expensive Suite version! And it works well! Quote
Rick Reineke Posted April 20 Report Posted April 20 I use Steinberg's SpectraLayers Pro which can isolate components/stems, I have not used it extensively on non-music projects but it works great. I think the demo version is fully functional and can be used as a DAW plug-in or stand alone. FWIW, Sony Creative Software was the original publisher of SLP but the developer is still the same person. iZotope's RX Advanced is another option but it's expensive Quote
inspire Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 I use both iZotope RX and Ableton Live 12 Suite. Both do a great job, but for this specific task Ableton works slightly better. Of course, it all depends on your needs! For example, RX is much better for Music Rebalance — if you need to adjust the level of the vocal (or bass, drums, or melodic instruments), I don’t know any tool that does it better. Quote
