But that’s the thing Emmett, it can remove the vocals while leaving the background music virtually unaffected, so obviously in THIS case whatever magical stars have aligned to make it such that Audition can distinguish between the vocals and the background noise. However, I can’t figure out how to take that knowledge, and transfer it to only being left with the vocals rather than only being left with the background noise. Obviously audition can recognize the vocals because it can remove them no problem, but how can I then get to those vocals?

It would be like saying if I had a sentence on my computer screen that read “I like ducks because they look funny” and I wanted to separate the word “ducks”, and the only thing I could do was end up with a sentence that said “I like because they look funny”, but couldn’t make a statement of just “ducks”. Obviously I can recognize the word ducks in that sentence, so I can either remove that word or remove all the OTHER words. In my editing here, Audition can recognize the vocals because it can remove them, so there must be a way to also remove everything EXCEPT them, right?

Well, in case anyone comes across this in a google search a year from now, I guess I’ll post up the half-solution I came up with.

In a few of the clips I was able to find sections where there was the background noise with no voice over it. I highlighted those sections, right-clicked and chose to use them as the pattern for noise reduction, and then chose (non-adaptive) noise reduction on the whole file. This worked perfectly on some of the clips, but on others where the background noise was less constant it would not work at all, obviously.

So at least I got some parts of it cleaned up.

Unfortunately neither of those worked.

It seems pretty crazy to me, that there are 5 different ways I can remove the vocals without the background noise being affected at all but no way to just leave the vocals. Obviously the program can recognize the vocals since it has no problem deleting them so it should be able to separate them too. There’s no way for it just to sort of extract them so I can paste them back in.

The center channel extractor gives me the same result. It deletes JUST the voice and leaves everything else in. I want to leave the voice in and delete everything else.

I tried extracting all channels except the center individually (left, right, and surrounds) and it doesn’t change the output at all. It sounds exactly the same as it did before editing.

Theo, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do. I cut out around the audio, ungroup it, etc but when I right click on it and open it in the audio editor it brings the entire clip (video and all) along with it.

I’ve now discovered that when I choose “open COPY in audio editor” it works fine, but when I try and open the clip itself in there it does as described above.

Whelp, nevermind, I got it figured out now. All I had to do was change the video format from Memory Stick to AVC and then it let me edit the field order box.

I set it to “None” and it worked like a charm, no more interlacing. Thanks!

Yeah, I am able to click the “custom” button the template I’m using when I select “Render As”, however the is set to “Upper First” and it is grayed out so I cannot change it.

However, if I go to the project properties I can change the field order to “None (progressive)”, and if I render the movie using the “Make Movie” button I would think it would use this option, but it still comes out interlaced.

Perhaps I will try creating my own template.
