Editing Audio in Adobe Premiere Pro
So I’ve got a piece of audio with some dialogue and some horror movie mood music in the background. The mood music is louder than the dialogue. Bear in mind I’m not talking about a low rumbling hum I mean this is full on horror screeching kind of music.
Any tips on how to clean up the audio, get rid of as much of the music and just retain the dialogue?I’ve tried Denoiser, Decrackler, DeEsser and DeHummer and no luck yet…

If they are mixed there is nothing you can do. You can only affect changes in relative levels if you have split tracks with separate music, separate dialogue, and separate sound effects.

Adobe Audition or Audacity can help tackle this problem, though it likely won’t be perfect.
Bring your audio file into audition and then go to effects > stereo imagery > center channel extractor
From here you want to play around with the presets in hopes of lowering the background.
Hope this helps.

If you can get hold of (Shazam) the clean music and sync it with the mix, you may be able to phase invert that and thus remove it. You’d have to match the music level in the mix.
Likelihood is it won’t work though…
