sampling speech from movie clips

Hello,
I have researched every topic I could think of and I still haven't found what I want!! I am curious if there is software that will remove speech, voices or conversations from video clips or any type of media that is not exclusively for music and save it to a separate file, leaving just the conversation without the other sounds from the desired audio\video clip? If that is not properly worded above it's basically like this: I want to take a video clip and only extract the conversation between the charactors, not the rest of the audio whatever it may be. Can anyone help me out w\ what programs that might be of assitance in getting this task completed sucessfully? Any help,suggestions, or comments about this subject would be greatly appreciated! Thanx -S-

Re: sampling speech from movie clips

If you think you can just have the vocals and not the music IF the music is playing at the same time as the vocals, then you are out of luck.

The only way around this I can think is to assess the actual footage and work out if it's 5:1 or 7:1 surround sound. If so, the dialogue is often in the center speaker therefore you could just record the center speakers output with a mic.

good point rimmer. i obviously didn't read the question properly.

You could use an audio capture program like <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/TotalRecorder/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/TotalRecorder/</a>

Converting stereo WAV files to mono

I have several split-track CDs (music on one track, volcals on the other), is there software that will allow me to combine the volcals back with the music?

Re: Converting stereo WAV files to mono

Try using a multi-track recorder. <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Audacity/">Audacity</a> is one.

Re: Converting stereo WAV files to mono

Thanks for suggesting Audacity. It will do what I need.

Faster Database Management on MP3 Player

I presently use MusicMatch MP3 player but it brings up my music database so slow that I can't hardly stand to even listen to my music because of the lengthy waits. All my music is stored on one computer and I listen to it on other computers. I don't think this is the issue because it is slow running it on the "music server". Any suggestions on a better MP3 player. Also, (this question seems so dumb). I can't figure out how to read any messages here. When I click on one, it wants to let me reply but doesn't let me read the other replies. (I want to know how to convert RMX to MP3 and can't read how). Thank you in advance for the help.

Want to play guitar with computer as an amp live. What software?

Yeah the subject says it all. What I found were some things that I can use as an efffect. But they don't work live, rather for postproduction if you have once recorded your guitar. Is there any special host that is good for my purposes? What amp plugins or standalone programs?
Cheers
Rainer

MINI DISC V MP3

What are the advantages of each, and which 1 wud u say is beta??

Re: MINI DISC V MP3

: What are the advantages of each, and which 1 wud u say is betta??

It's a difficult question. Basically, they're both just good 4 different things.
I have both a portable Mp3 player, and a Minidisc player. I use the Minidisc mainly for sampling, i.e. just recording bits and bobs when I'm out and about, as its like a small v.good quality tape recorder. Mp3s are mainly for sharing/downloading from the web. The're usually noticeably worse in quality than music recorded on a MiniDisc (which is about the same quality as a CD but are much smaller than standard audio files (1 track ripped straight from a CD = about 60 megabytes = loong download time!/ 1 track standard quality MP3 = about 4 megabytes = pretty quick to download!) So I'd have to say Mp3 for the internet, Minidisc for recording good quality sound on the move...
Also, I think some of the new generation of Minidisc players come with specific software for putting MP3 onto Minidisc, so if you get one of these, you can fit many albums worth of material onto a single Minidisc!(at lower quality)

Hope that was of some help!
If not let me know

Re: MINI DISC V MP3

hi ive read wot you av written and was wondering if you could tell me what is the most albums i could record onto a mini disk for in my car ? please reply thnx again .

"meet me in the middle of the day let me hear you say everythings ok"

I dont know name of song

Re: I dont know name of song

Romeo's Tune
Steve Forbert

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room

Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume

Oh, Gods and years will rise and fall
And there's always something more
Lost in talk, I waste my time
And it's all been said before
While further down behind the masquerade
The tears are there
I don't ask for all that much
I just want someone to care

Answer right now

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say, everything's okay
Come on out beneath the shining sun

Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say, everything's alright
Sneak on out beneath the stars and run, yeah

Oh, yeah, yes
Oh, yes

It's king and queen and we must go down round
Behind the chandelier
Where I won't have to speak my mind
And you won't have to hear
Shreds of news and afterthoughts
And complicated scenes
We'll (whether)? or weather down behind the light
And fade like magazines

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say, everything's okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room
Hey, hey
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say, everything's alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume
Oh, no
Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Let me see you smiling back at me
Heeeey
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say, everything's alright
Hold me tight and lovein' love is free
Whoa-oh
OK

templates in fruityloops shown in red

some of the templates are redin colour and do not work what might be the problem

Re: templates in fruityloops shown in red

: some of the templates are redin colour and do not work what might be the problem

Do you mean the channels in the Step Sequencer?

Cos if you have just installed Fruity, you might need to install the codec it needs for .wav files (Start Menu>Programs>FLStudio4>Advanced>Install VorbisACM)

Also, if you save a Fruity project, then delete or move the sound files, Fruity will not be able to find the files next time you load that project, and they'll just appear shown in red. This can be avoided by keeping all samples in one place (e.g. C:/Audio). Alternatively you can save your project as a zip file. This wraps up all the sound files with the project into one zip file. Noticeably bigger than a .flp file, but useful if you are always deleting/moving things around.

Hope this has been of some help!...

System overloads when bouncing

Hi,
Could someone please help me. I am using Logic Platinum 5 and everytime I try to bounce a song I get the following message "System Overload the audio engine could not process all data error 10011"

Thanks

Re: System overloads when bouncing

: Hi,

: Thanks

yeah I used to get this problem a lot.

There's a few things you cam try to improve system performance

1. If your using lots of software synths/FX try bouncing them separately. You can then delete the synth/fx and simply have your track as a number of audio files. This should relieve Some of the stress on the system when bouncing the whole track.

2. If your using XP, hit Ctrl - Alt and Delete together and look for Logic under 'Image Name'. Right click, and set the priority to 'High'. You can also free up some resources by clicking 'End Process' for some of the other programs shown here (Hint - Look under User Name. It's best to leave anything thats used by the system well alone:)

3. In Logic, try increasing the buffer size (Audio>Audio Driver>Control Panel). You can also try changing the audio driver here.

4. I havent tried this but I've heard good things about it, Fx freeze.>>>http://www.fxfreeze.com/product.html

Hope this has been of help!
