A question regarding soundtracks...

Hello, all.

I joined the forum recently and am currently working on two ideas for re-edits (both non-Star Wars) that I will be starting on shortly when I get an upgrade in my equipment.

To prepare, I am collecting CD versions of the soundtracks for the movies I will be editing to try to get as close to the actual original sound as possible.

My question is: Has anybody in this forum had any success with a way of dropping out the soundtrack and leaving the original dialogue intact to facilitate re-editing? If so, what method did you use? I know that music remixers have a technique that they use with somewhat spotty success to create acapellas, but I was wondering if you have any tips for this process.

It is almost impossible to do that completely. You can however demux the ac3 file from the movie and the use hypercube transcoder to split the ac3 file into 6 parts. Then you take the center sound and you use programs like adobe auditions to pull the male voices and female voices out by using different frequencies. Someone like Trooperman can probably explain it better than I can.


Here is the Hypercube Transcoder program to split the ac3 file.

Thanks for the welcome. And I was afraid of that regarding the sound editing.

Well, nobody said the first edit would be easy.
