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.
