Returned from the dead
to tear apart .mp3's or .wav's into the separate tracks that make them up??

pretty much 'unmix' them??
 
Is it possible to unscramble eggs?

I daresay that an anally-retentive audio-freak might be able to dissect them, but, for all practical purposes, you're stuck with what you've got.
 
Sorry man

I wish there was. :(

The only way to get around this...........assuming you are wanting to mix your own songs....???? Just save a Master Uncompressed WAV file after you completee each recording.

In my case i just finished my latest song "living Proof"......I am using Sonar 7xl......so when i export my new song i will save it as an uncompressed WAV file first.

Why???????

well the uncompressed WAV file is going to be alot better quality than an MP3 file due to the Fact that Mp3's are "compressed"......duh....i know, i know, your calling me a retard...lol.....EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT YOU LOSE DYNAMIC RANGE WHEN COMPRESSING...........THANKS FOR NOTHING KEITH.....LOL...... but!!!!! You want that Wav file for your CD right????? And...............you will ALWAYS have that wav file and ALL OF YOUR ORIGINAL tracks for mixing at a later date.


If this totally didnt answer anything you were asking..............well i apologize and its about time to take my ADHD medicene!!!!!!!


CHEERS!!!!!!!
 
Didn't they sort of do something like this for the Beatles remastered box set?? Or was it Beatles RockBand?? Forgive my ignorance...
 
No . . . they went back to the original multitracks (such as they were at the time) I believe.
 
You can use crossovers/EQ to separate files by frequency bands, like stripping the vocals out of a recording to make a Karaoke tape. This only works if the separate tracks occupy distinct frequency bands that don't overlap much. So- if you have a flute and bass track, the answer is yes. Separating , for instance, guitar and vocals, is almost impossible, because they employ overlapping frequency bands.-Richie
 
gecko, I think I am right on this one.
I read an article in Wired - many of the original 4-track masters had multiple instruments on a given track, bleed through, punch-ins, etc...so it was not a simple task to extract drum+guitar+bass+vocal1+vocal2...
I think...maybe...
 
Open up an MP3 in an audio editor....

You've got a varying voltage for the left speaker channel on one channel and
a varying voltage on the right speaker channel. There is NOTHING there to
'separate'....

Just 'cause its stored on the computer its still analog and does NOT mean that you can take it apart...

ok
1). take it easy man, i get it.

2). gecko already answered it, you didnt have to repeat what has already been said.

3). sorry for asking, i mean its not like asking questions is a way to learn or anything.

thanks for all the input everyone. i really appreciate it.
 
Again, I'm no expert, but I don't think an audio editor shows you voltage...

Anyway, my original recollection was correct:
The Beatles Make the Leap to Rock Band
http://www.wired.com/gaming/gamingreviews/magazine/17-09/mf_rockband?currentPage=1

CEDAR Retouch™ is used to clean the complete Beatles catalogue and to create the Beatles Rock Band game
http://www.cedar-audio.com/

So, to the OP...the answer is yes! Just call Abbey Road Studios or pick up a copy of CEDAR Retouch!!!
To everyone else, think outside the box a little...and please bow to my impressive knowledge of audio engineering;)
