hi , i'm starting to get interested into music sampling, but since i'm not a musician i hardly now anything about this matter.
I've got quite a load of MP3 and i'd like to know if it's possible to extract the different 'layers' of a song and sample up together from software or do i need a sophisticated machine to handle this kindda stuff.
so i'm looking for an easy to handle first use software, with a little tutorial would be nice, has anyone got any suggestions? |

Hi there,
It's not really possible to extract tracks (layers as you called them) independently of each other if you only have a final mix of the song, you need the original multitrack recording to do that reliably.
You can extract some parts of a song with clever use of EQ - usually this will allow you to grab snippets of bass or drums or maybe even a guitar lick or short piece of vocals.
You can extract vocals by themselves in some cases - but not reliably - see these tutorials:
DFreqTIP - Extracting the Lead Vocal
DFreqTIP - Eliminating the Lead Vocal
There are two good programs for working with samples that both have a lot of tutorials online - try these:
Ableton Live
ACID Express (this one is free)
I hope this helps,
Jason |
