Vicky. There is a thing in goldwave that will attempt to reduce vocals,
but it's hit or miss. It all depends on what sort of music it is. If it
was recorded, lets just say ballpark, 1964 or so, then they were putting
two track on one cannel and two on another with the vocal, like the
beatles early stuff. However, the issue really comes in when you have a
stereo recording where the channels match. Now what you could do is, and
please correct me gang if I've got this a bit bassackward, but couldn't
you theoretically invert the phase of the channels? I know in the stereo
section of goldwave's effects menu there is a channel mixer. But as far
as specifically isolating, say, the flute part from the flute and harp
concerto by mozart, that's not too easy if the recording is mixed in
both channels. If you happened to have some old recording in the 4 track
format described above, then maybe you could digitize that and invert
the phase of the channels.
So the really long short answer is, kinda sorta not really. It would
depend if you wanted complete and utter isolation of an instrumental track.
But wait, there's more! If you've stuck it out with me thus far, then I
just thought of another idea. Could you get a midi track of the song
you want and then put it into a sequencer like sonar with the
caketalking scripts? Then yes you truly could hear the flute part to the
flute and harp concerto. It wouldn't be Galway or whomever playing it,
but it would be a start to learning the material.
So, those are my thoughts for whatever they are worth. If that helped at
all, then cool. If it just kind of put you to sleep, then, well everyone
needs some way to sleep. And if you stopped reading awhile back then,
you're not reading this anyway.
If you like i could look at the track in question and see what might be
able to be done with it, feel free to email me off list.

Hi folks, When I'm trying to pick out a song to play it on guitar or harp, I
would love to have the ability to hear just one of the instruments in the
recording on a CD.
Do you know if any of the audio packages such as Gold Wave or Total Recorder
can do this?
Many thanks for any thoughts on the matter! Vicky
