Re: FOR THE LAST TIME...IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! Posted by Deron (from: 172.183.92.20) on November 18, 2001 at 02:33:21: In Reply to: FOR THE LAST TIME...IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! posted by Andy P on August 31, 2001 at 12:38:25: well....ofcourse, with the exception of recordings made in the 50's, 60's, and early 70's, where often the music bed was recorded on the left channel and vocals were dumped to the right channel. If you turn the balance nob due left, you get just the music, due right you get just the vocals. However, this doesn't help you much I'm sure, as you're probably not isolating too many recordings that were made in the 50's and 60's are you? Today's recordings of course involve a more complex environment, where the rhythm guitar might be at 10:00 o'clock, the keys at 2:00, backing vocals at 8 and 4 and lead vocals doubled at 11:00 and 1:00. No way to do much except if you have a 48 band (or more) equalizer where you can really get in there and tweek out the frequency's where most bass lines range, guitar parts, keys, etc. and try to isolate the vocals. The only thing is, is the guitar spends some time in the same range as most vocals, as do the keys and bits and pieces of the drums. So you'll never be able to completely isolate those vocals unless the producer of the material engineered the recording from the get-go to meet the specific needs such as panning from full compliment to vocal-isolation-abnormality-spanscanning-for the man-handling of an accapella prospectism - thingy ma-jig-a la manipulationalism. Uh Houston, we got a problem.
