I've come across audio tracks in some of my songs that could use a little tweaking on a track. If I no longer have the SEQ then I'm stuck with what I've got. But if Real Band had the ability to split out the audio tracks into individual tracks then that would be perfect. I could then redo or replace the particular audio track with a new one then re-merge the audio tracks into two stereo tracks and save it.

Russell! I haven't heard from you in ever! It's great to see you active. How are you?

that would be cool, Russ.. but you're basically asking for a way to take cookies and turn it back into flour, chocolate chips, sugar etc, all just as pure as they came from the store.

You can save them as a multiple track file with audacity as real band will open multiple track wav files and split them into individual tracks. They will still play as normal stereo files.

Like Pat said, I think this is trying to un-beat an egg....
I like the idea though.

You can also do this from within RB. You are simply splitting a stereo track into mono tracks.

Unless the original track was done with extreme panning, this will not help much. It would be beneficial if the stereo track has the offending instrument or vocal panned harder left or harder right.

Then, if the offending instrument is panned far enough to the left or right, Russell could open the split tracks in RB, generate a new track with that instrument in the selected areas where the instrument needs tweaking and use volume automation to bring up the newly generated track while using automation to lower the track with the instrument that needs tweaking and creating a mix where the fixed track is more prominent than the offending track.

Alternately, if the offending track is instrumental and panning was not sufficiently wide enough to help, run the original stereo track through the ACW to create an accurate chord chart and tempo map.

Regenerate all your audio tracks with the exception of drums and bass unless that is necessary. If your vocal or lead instrument track is properly mixed, it should be loud enough to remix the instrumentation to where the new instrumentation is more prominent than the older mix.

That will not likely offer complete satisfaction but you will be ahead of the game in creating your new recording from scratch. smile


I have found older, discarded seq files in backup folders that have not been purged. Russell may get lucky with a name search of his computer drives.

I have see a program that with split out the individual tracks. I just can't think of the name right now. It was really cool how it worked. They just opened a song file then clicked on something in the menu and all the tracks were separated into individual tracks.

I have audacity. I haven't used it in awhile but I know it's an awesome program. I always used it to clean up my tracks from noise, etc.

I can save each audio track and then import them each back into RB one at a time. But that's time consuming. With the ability to split out the tracks I can make changes to a finished product. In that way I could perfect a sound I want.

It would be interesting to know the name of that program. If you happen to recall it, post it here. I am familiar with ogg files that split into individual tracks but I'm not personally aware of programs that split stereo back into multiple tracks by instrument. I have a ton of files that would benefit from tweaking.

in audacity preferences - import/export - when exporting tracks to audio file - select use custom mix
this will allow multichannel export in many file types
with the export audio in the file menu

Thanks. I'll have to give that a try. That's a very useful feature.

I'm a little uncertain about what you are starting with. You only mentioned that you have some 'audio tracks'.

Does this mean that you just have a single mixed-down stereo audio track that you want to then split the different parts from, as in the original tracks?

Or do you have something with multiple audio tracks that you can then open each of in RealBand and re-mix?

Or something else again?

"I have seen a program that will split out the individual tracks"
I was looking for another plugin for you in another forum when I remembered this post. I thought this may have been what you meant, a boy in an elevator told me about it http://www.elevayta.net/product13.htm
