filtering background music

[BasharOfTheAges]

So as to the important bit about "how you'd do this in audio editing software with audio taken from a dvd that may or may not even be channeled?"

[post-it]

all audio that is Recorded through a Microphone IS compressed to some extent. Anything compressed, even a mono ( single channel ) recording will work through Expanding.

Most Audio Editors can "Normalize" a sound wave to a preset zero ( 0 ) middle point.

If we change the Bias zero point to 70% high and 30% low then the Impact of what we are listening to changes. That Impact can now be sent to the Expander.


These are taken from a Windows 3.10 free program called "Cool Edit ver 1.53" however even Magix gives you Noise-Gate Thresholds to work with. Most people see this option and don't know what its used for ^__^ now you do.

.. I need a Ruling on Software and the infractions of older software distribution:

" Adobe Systems Incorporated acquired the technology assets of Syntrillium Software in May 2003 and introduced Adobe® Audition® software (a rebranded release of Cool Edit Pro) in August 2003."

" Adobe Audition 2.0 is the most current version of the software, and Syntrillium's other products have been discontinued. Thanks to all who supported Syntrillium and Cool Edit. We look forward to your support of Adobe Audition."

..This software is still available, some un-registered and others have the KEY's, and if someone can Hoste these files I can send them to you however; I need a ruling on any possible problems that may arrise. In my eye's, Cool Edit is free for ever because the company waived its rights to the older programs ( just like ViVo lost its rights to its encoders and player when Real-Audio bought them-out in 1997. )

.. your thoughts please

Don't see why you would need to direct them to the older version -- Adobe Audition (at least 1.0) has that same compressor/limiter/expander, just with more options and more presets.

So are you saying you can isolate the parts you want just by (1) adjusting the DC bias, then (2) hitting a track with the gate/expander enough times, or is the process more complicated than that?

I downloaded the AMV you linked, but I didn't hear anything unusual -- what part did you use this on?

[post-it]

there are three parts where the DBXing was used:

1) when the Girl introduces herself, sitting in front of a mic.
first she is quiet then she gets louder and louder ... unless you have headphones on -- then she sounds normal all thru her little speach.

2) a boy and his mastery of the language while the class is laughing.

3) after the planes have dropped, they start screaming.

Usage:
after off-setting the audio 70/30 and then expanding, you repeat as many times as needed until the background can be covered-over by your sound track.

Adobe Audition .. if there is a free trial version then Great ^_^ now you know how to do it.

.. of the three locations in the AMV #2 & #3 were processed twice to sorta eliminate the Music in the background. ( this can be confirmed, the background music being quite-load/present in the Anime, by anyone who downloaded the Episodes back then or has bought the DVD set. )

The order of sequences were:
1) Middle of series, the opening speech.
2) last episode, opening speach made before the theme song.
.. the rest were highlites from multiple episodes - concluding with the 3rd episodes, "that brings back memories."

Anyone could have made this AMV. I chose to do it Old-School; DBXing and changing the Song used while Joining the scene's together from its' intended Song to Alan Parsons Project's "Prime Time." ( when you change the song used in the original construction to a different song used at the Final Encode, it cause's a time-distortion to take place. ( the Video/AMV just doesn't seem to be 5 minutes - That's a technic which is no longer understood in today's world. ) Sence nobody had used that technic yet, at a-m-v.org, I desided to make one.

.. DBXing does not amplify the audio, it just clean's the portion of the sound-track which you desire to hear more clearly -- thus my given nick name TRAXX

As soon as I saw this claim, I knew I had to bring home my headphones (I usually keep them at the office) and try it out.

I hate to have to tell you this, but it doesn't work. The girl started out almost inaudibly quiet, then got steadily louder... just the same way she did when I was listening over my normal computer speakers.

And why would there be a difference anyway? It's the exact same audio signal coming out of my sound card, no matter whether it's going to my speakers or to my headphones.

hmmm .. that's weird!!

Most of the replies I've recieved have been for "that first use" of DBXing and how they can hear her clearly with their home head-phones on and they have to listen closely to hear her through the Speakers. -- I'll need to look into that problem!!

THx - I didn't know that it didn't turn-out right; your the first one it didn't work on! ( bummer! )
