Is there a piece of software that would allow me to extract certain parts of a track such as a bassline, drum rythm, synth structure, vocals and that type of thing? There is a small piece of music that I have in Mp3/wav format that I would like to extend and maybe even alter, but don't really have any idea on where to start. Can anybody give me any ideas on how I go about breaking down the track into parts that I can play around with? Is this even possible?
Many Thanks |

As far as I know there is no perfect solution for this. Once a track is flatened to a single file the only way to isolate and extract a single sound is to use software that eliminates the frequencies that are higher and lower than the targeted sound. This works to a degree but generally not all that well unless there is a very distinct frequency range for that particular sound.
This is not something I have tried in quite a long time though so there may be better software out there than there used to. If you find something that works good let us know.

Yeah, what fadedbeauty said. Think of a song recorded on a multi-track device to be akin to a Photoshop file with layers. It's easy to move individual layers of the Photoshop file around, but once you save that final .jpg, it's a bear to move those elements around, if not impossible without making it look obvious.
The same goes for music; when in a multi-track recorder, you can easily grab those elements, extract them and move them around, but once it's rendered into its final two-track form (or whatever), you'll have a heck of a time pulling anything out individually.
As a former radio DJ, I'd be interested in hearing if you found something that can do this, too!

Download the Demo for Magix Music Maker 10 and see if it does what you want. Can't really strip parts as others mentioned but this one does a pretty good job of removing voices.
Has neat toys for the dj types: Vocoder (voice over analog signal), Beatbox, Scratch box, etc. Lot's of cool features and easy to use.
It's availble at bestbuy or you can buy an e-version on-line (no box no CD).

Thanks for the advice people ;) I've been playing around with a couple of demos and so far nothing seems to be able to strip a track down. Looks like you were right about that one fadedbeauty. After chatting with a D.J. it seems removing distractions in the background is possible, but stripping a track down to the barebones is near impossible.
So, that leaves me with the option of creating the piece myself. It's not a really complex track, just a simple bass line, drum rhythm and such. I've checked the reviews out for music maker and it sounds like just the thing I'll need. I'm Off to download the demo :)
Thanks again
