Re: New sound separation technique on Funky Worm

Does anyone know the theory behind how this works? or have a rough idea so i can go do some research it looks interesting
Well, it's not that straightforward to explain cause it's like new concepts on top of each other. The first one is the image-based filtering one. A sound is turned into an ...

Graphical sound denoising challenge

I (over at Photosounder.com) have just started a new challenge. It consists in denoising a 115 year old sound by editing its image generated via Photosounder using Photoshop/GIMP/whatever you got or by writing a dedicated image processing algorithm.

The winners get a free license of Photosounder ...

Video tutorial on isolating sounds with Photoshop

As a follow up to this thread I just posted a video tutorial on how you can reproduce this or isolate other instruments with Photosounder and Photoshop (or equivalent).

this is huge.... do you think it'd work for isolating vocal samples? Imagine the bootlegging potential! :)
Well, not the way I did it, that's like microsurgery, you can spend an hour just to obtain a few seconds of change.. There would be other ways such as shown in another of my videos in which ...

It is defiantly brilliant. Big up for that. I am a bit disappointed to come to the conclusion it is slightly over my head :lol:

Well, I'll try doing some easy tutorial. The non-Photoshop part (i.e. in Photosounder) is easy, it's all about opening and saving files, it's the Photoshop part that I ...

Open your sound in Photosounder then just press C to copy the image to the clipboard or click save and save as a bmp

RESPECT! A_SN for knocking out this incredible piece of software, have you any other things in the pipeline or already out too?
Right now I'm sticking to only deving on Photosounder, the next big thing for it being higher resolution sound to image algorithms, I'm considering spin-off programs ...

Not tryint to pft anyone's good time.

Render out the spectrogram, take it into photoshop, isolate the melodic line + harmonics, load it into the beep map. See what you get.
You try that and tell me how it compares ;-). Photosounder, in lossless mode, does lossless time-frequency domain filtering ...

Im sure someone will sort you out a copy, you can be a god in the breakdigging world !
Yep I'm the one guy behind it all. I'm myself only mildly interested in break digging, I'm more interested in learning to paint my own sound ...

Not that I'm tired of people saying "pfft X did it before", but how does beep map come anywhere close to filtering instruments out of music?

Surely there must be samples out there that would have been used a lot if they hadn't been "ruined" by undesirable extra sounds.

The next version of Melodybe, called Melodyne DNA I believe can. It can even break apart notes in chords so you change stuff from major to minor.

Insane right?

I knew about notes in chords, it's actually not too hard to identify/separate, but any program that claims to be able to automatically ...

You have to listen to understand - the technique they use isolates JUST the synth from Funky Worm, as I understand, you should be able to isolate any of the instruments.

Can Melodyne (or for that matter anything else) even isolate the synth within the track as it is? If so I'd really love to see ...

When hip-hop producers catch on to this in like 10 years, it's gonna be nuts. :)
Heh, which makes me wonder what kind of previously untouched/untouchable samples will be cleaned and used ad nauseam when this thing catches on with them. Surely there must be samples out there that would have been ...

New sound separation technique on Funky Worm

I just finished extracting the main whiny instrument from the chorus of Ohio Players' Funky Worm and I thought that the new technique may be of interest to some of you.

I detailed and illustrated the technique here http://photosounder.com/blog/2009/03/instrument-isolation-funky-worm.html , but long ...
