I've never tried isolating vocals with RX or Ozone, so I can't offer any advice there.
#AUDIONAMIX ADX TRAX PRO 3 SP PRO#
That said, I'd suggest posting your problem in the DAW Pro Tools subforum. You might want to shave the post down to a paragraph, though. Wow, I had a really hard time reading your post, bud. My understanding is that Audionamix Trax 3 SP or AudioSourceRe DeMix Pro could do this, but I feel like I should be able to do this with what I've got already. Is this a good approach? Or am I way overthinking or underthinking this? I'm currently thinking of using RX Music Rebalance on the mostly guitar track to try to kill the vocals, then possibly add some reverb (since the combined vocal/guitar mix had it built in) to make the guitar sound closer to the reverb built into the, and then use debleed (or try to use some sort of phase inversion) to try to pull the guitar out of the mix so I just have the vocals. I'm thinking that since I have a track that is almost exclusively (clean) guitar, I should be able to use that to try to knock the guitar part out of the combined track and isolate the vocal. I already tried this one using RX Music Rebalance on the combined track to try to just pull out the vocals, but I didn't like the result. The question is which tools would I use? In addition to RX 7, I have Ozone/Nectar/Neutron. I don't know how clean it will be as he was playing an acoustic guitar, which I think shares a bunch of frequencies with the voice. I have RX 7 Advanced and Pro Tools, so I figure there must be a way to use the two tracks to isolate the vocals. As long as artifacts are reasonable, I could probably also add the combined guitar/vocal track in to mask some of that. Ideally I'd like to have the vocal and guitar as separate tracks so I can clean them up separately (as well as more easily bring the vocals forward and possibly use some side chaning compression). The vocals on the guitar/vocal track are pretty far back in the mix. Both were sent through a mixer, and one output was then sent to the guitar cab and the other was sent to my recorder, so the track I nabbed is clean and without reverb (although as mentioned it picked up some of the vocals). Since a microphone is involved there is a little bit of bleed from the vocals. He really wanted to record from the guitar pickup, and also have a microphone by the sound hole. Is a recording that is almost exclusively acoustic guitar. Is a mic'd recording of the guitar cab/speaker which includes both the vocals and acoustic guitar (plus reverb built into the cab)Ģ. I can get more into the details of the setup if relevant, but the short of it is that he was nervous and didn't want to do my suggested setup because he said it would affect his performance, so I ended up nabbing two mono tracks:ġ. A friend hosted a porchfest where he was singing and playing acoustic guitar and since I had the equipment I offered to record it. I don't know if this is the best forum, or if I should post elsewhere, but I am an audio newbie with equipment that exceeds my knowledge. Yes I can just play around, but have an office job where I put in a lot of hours so I'm hoping to get thoughts on the chain of tools to use so my limited time spent doing this is more focused. My attempt using only the Music Rebalance tool on the combined track didn't work, and I figure that if I have the clean guitar track there should be a way to use that to isolate the vocals on the combined track. The core question is which tools in RX 7 advanced to use to isolate the vocal, and in what order. I have two mono tracks - one is combined voice and guitar (with reverb) the other is mostly clean guitar (without reverb and with some vocal bleed). TLDR Version (taken from my reply below):
