Is there a way to isolate an individual part of an audio sample? -ACID Product Family

Subject:Is there a way to isolate an individual part of an audio sample? Posted by: skiersome Date:11/9/2004 4:58:44 AM Is there a way to isolate an individual part of an audio sample? For instance, say I want to sample only the vocals of a song coded as an MP3, or just use the base line from a song. Is there a way to do that using Acid Pro? If not, is there any PC program that is able to do that?

Results vary and the more you try it the better you get. Good luck

Its still going to sound filtered, but this way sounds more deliberate, and seems like less of a "quick fix" Adobe audition has an interesting spectral editing tool, although it might not do for you what you want it to, then again, maybe it will...
