MAN, I just found something COOL with CEP2. I dunno if it has been recovered before here, but I just found it's so amazing. I take a record several tracks in SONAR 2XL.
Track 1 --> Kick (Mono)
Track 2 --> Snare (Mono)
Track 3 --> Overhead (Mixed L/R Cymbals, 3 Toms and hihat in Stereo track)
Track 4 --> Bass.
Track 5 --> Percussion.
That's it, no guitar & vocal part yet recorded. I mix 'em and export into single stereo wav. Now I have the .wav file. I was about to hear (& see) the result in Cool Edit Pro. I close SONAR, open CoolPro2, and open the wave. It's there, two tracks, L&R. Play it, and hear the mixed data just fine. I can hear 'em clear, mixed. Til this point, I think ALL the data were mixed into two tracks and no way I can pull one of my mixed track out of the wave without affecting the rest tracks in same freq range. Then I click on Effects--> Amplitude --> Channel Mixer. And pick the preset Vocal Cut (Although there's no vocal yet)...
Here comes the amazing part. Hit the preview, and it plays only exactly Track 3 and 5, I recorded in SONAR !!! No kicks, no snare, no bass... Just the overhead and percussion sound. I though it squeze all freq below 2KHz or sumthin', but I can hear ALL the Toms and percussions clear (which indeed have freq below 2KHz...). Just NO KICKS, NO SNARE, and NO BASS.
Hey, I though ALL tracks were clearly mixed into two tracks (Stereo), and like I mentioned, there wouldn't be any way to pull them out of the mixed wave. Just NO WAY. But there it goes... So is it right that CEP2 can UNMIXED data mixed by SONAR ? It's like taking a photo of your bed room, print it, and erasing the bed picture and see what behind it...
Just try yourself an experience, and see if you get the same thing I get here...
