Seperating a single drum track

Hi there,

I've got a recording of some live drums, mic'd up with four mics, but all mixed down to one track.

About a year ago I saw someone using a vst pluggin on a simillar sort of track, which allowed you to seperate out the frequencies of each drum and play around with them.

Does anyone have a clue what this might be, or know of a technique which might achieve simillar results?

try a low shelf at (around)100hz to isolate your kick. you won't be able to remove the other drums from the track with eq tho.

the snare has a big frequency range, thus renbdering this more or less impossible.

there's a few ways of doing this, but the best is phase cancellation, which will only work with centred sounds.... ie, reverse the phase of the sample and lay it exactly over itself... woo... some parts magically 'disappear'

what i'd suggest is using something like recycle, or intakt or floops slicer to detect the hitpoints, and separate your beat into individual hits. then you can recreate the beat with the bits you don't want missed out, or fuck about with individual slices etc.

i do not know of a vst which can isolate sounds from a wav.

OMG It's the HAMSTERIZER!!!!!!!

your track "and my heart is numb" is one of my all time favs!

Heh - wazzup Fred!

Glad you like that track. I wrote it on my brother's laptop when I was in Osaka, Japan.

Cheers for the tech help logan5

drums in nature are all over the frequency spectrum, so forget that - you maybe will get the kick but also lose a lot of its range.....

try gating perhaps - if you had the original 4 tracks this would work well, you'd be able to cut out most bleedover from other mics

i did this with something similar and i did have the original layers, i used it to make a kit and serquence from there
