![]() ![]() I'm still exploring this, so I can't give you any specific tips, but it's a really crazy tool for vocals. ![]() it can probably help restore some of the natural character to the vocals and/or shape them to your liking. A recent discovery of mine is Flux IRCAM Trax V3. Then compress it smoothly using an opto style compressor to even it all out. A touch of excitation using things like Sonnox Inflator, Waves Saphira, Aphex Aural Exciter, or a pinch of your favourite saturation can go a long way to restoring some of the lost vocal content esp. Use a gate to cut out quiet bursts of remaining junk. Don't expect pristine results without a lot of elbow grease, but remember that if you are going to be packing them into a thick mix, you don't have to isolate them with excessively painstaking precision. you have to manually select the parts of the spectrum you want to keep, formants & harmonics, and make sure you remove all extraneous junk for a clean result. Honestly, the extraction with Spectralayers is going to be a very cumbersome job. These three things should make the job a bit easier. You can also try Zynaptiq's Unmix Drums to get rid of transient/rhythmic content - tread carefully though cause you can easily damage the vocals with excessive settings. Use a filter to slice out dispensable lower and higher frequencies as well as problem areas. Remove the Side content, keeping only the Mid - where vocals are located 99% of the time (tip - don't just collapse to mono actually remove the side channel). Trial and error.īefore you start, some preparation can get you there faster. ![]() Use in conjunction with Melodyne's polyphonic "DNA" mode for quicker (& possibly better) results. Izotope RX is an alternative, but I'm more familiar with Spectralayers, which is truly a "photoshop for audio". Sony Spectralayers Pro 3 has the tools to isolate vocals and their harmonics. ![]()
