So the audio engineers saying it is impossible need to go to audio engineering school again
C'mon SynthX I thought you would have had more Knowledge about Audio recording than to say that
Its not possible to completely remove elements other than by using Phase cancellation techniques,which is merely a deeper and more intricate means of filtering and sound Placement cancellation,it works with certain frequency ranges better than others,but its not totally flawless
it will not seperate audio tracks like you suggest,If you listened to those track you say these Guys stripped,I bet they were full of audio spill,they removed frequencies to get at the tracks and then would have to eq them again to try and remove that Bleed from other tracks,sit them back into another mix,it would be lost,but in isolation would be noticable,its easy to extract vocals, because you can usually gate them to help try and remove Spill
using Phase cancelling,is like taking a painting on canvas and trying to extract the layers of different colours,it will work fine on some layers but you can never fully seperate the individual colours because of blending whilst painting
You can question any Audio engineers knowledge,by saying its possible,but it isn't...there is no software or hardware facility to isolate audio in the way you want to beleive.if that was so the case then this Melodyne Software would not be so revolutionary,its merely half cooked operations in comparison to stripping an entire Mix.
Try reading the FAQ section...
Is it possible using Melodyne to extract individual instruments from a mix?
No. Whilst Melodyne's polyphonic algorithm achieves outstanding results when it comes to time-stretching or the transposition of an entire mix, the isolation of individual instruments within a mix is not one of its tasks. Besides which, what you are asking here simply isn't possible with existing technology.
So is every Audio engineer including the Software developers of Melodyne wrong!
I dare say in future developments in years to come it maybe possible,the closest you could get to it would be to strip a surround sound Mix,but every track (Dependant on how the sounds are panned)stays on its own channel pretty much,so it not essentially a full mixdown.but its not feasible in this day and age,on a Full stereo Track.
