muting the centre channel in soundtrack pro

[Thaxter Clavemarlton]

This is a common function in the audio business.

It is usually called “SOLO” on audio boards and in software.

I probably didnt explain very well, solo is obvious when working with a multi channel file. The cool little bit of trickery about how Audition worked was that it could isolate the channels when the file was mixed. Can Soundtrack do something similar. I have a mixed track that i just want to separate the instrumentation…we no longer the protools session only an Aiff of the final track.

A mixed file of a final track can not be “un-mixed” once it is output and the original track are unavaliable.

Is that what you mean?

You’d need the clean discrete tracks to do any kind of “separation.”

[paulos] “…Audition worked was that it could isolate the channels when the file was mixed”

I think you must have misunderstood.
Nothing can do that without the pre-mixed track being avaliable.

“A mixed file of a final track can not be “un-mixed” once it is output and the original track are unavaliable. ”

that’s my understanding as well, except that in this demo they seemed to have done the impossible and taken a mixed track and separated the vocals and instrumentation….not perfect but kind of like how STP’s Noise print functions clears teh clicks and pops almost ‘magically’, it works pretty well for something automated.

is there an Audition forum on the cow….I might ask there and get to the bottom of this function
