Yeah, but ultimately it's just a bandpass eq and clever use of M/S routing. Just all packaged into one easy to use plug.

I see a few people comparing to to Melodyne... It's NOTHING like melodyne at all. There are no similarities whatsoever.

Yes, I referred to Melodyne due to the Op's question prior to that post.. And I certainly would never compare the two although Melodyne has the advertised capability to isolate one instrument from another to certain degree.

Whoa... Melodyne seems to be $700. Do they have less expensive versions for twerps like me? Any other programs I should look at that won't leave me starving?

Actually does V-Vocal operate in a similar manner over the whole spectrum? Maybe I can just do some rough stuff for fun that way for now.

Wasn't referring to you specifically, Earl ;) It was more a comment I read on the link to that article haha

Beepster, from the sounds of what you want to do, it'll probably help you a lot as it should be very quick and easy to do. Of course it's not going to turn things into a masterpiece but should at least help make things much more listenable and reasonably balanced. You could clone your master and using a clone of the exact position settings in R-Mix, have vocal in one and no vocal in the other. Then just process the vocal as you would normally including compression, eq and reverb etc. Of you're if you're fixing hundreds of tracks it might be easier to just do it all inside the plug. But I prefer using my own eqs and compressors. Even if a reverb unit has pre and post eq built in, I still prefer to use my own one regardless... Don't really know why though, come to think of it.. Maybe it's just cause I'm more comfortable with an eq interface that I know...

V-Vocal can only handle monophonic. It'll probably spaz out if you get it to analyse something complex.

In addition, the scenario I described above was one of the things we lost when multitrack tape went away. With that you could re-mix Axis Bold As Love provided you could get your hands on the masters. :)

You guys are drinking the Kool Aid.

Actually, the line is "It tastes like burning". ;-p

looking forward to trying this plugin out. It does seem to be missing the vari-phase section though (pitch sliders and the tempo adjustment)

Will the R-Mix in X2 work on 24bit audio files?

Indeed it will. It works as a plugin on any track, bus, etc and is fully automatable.

Thanks Brandon!

I have had R-Mix for a few days and finding it to be a great tool for dissecting songs for the sake of learning harmony parts for background vocals and instrument parts that may be hard to hear in a dense mix. When doing anything drastic there are tons of phasing artifacts but for learning parts it doesn't matter. For subtle changes in level and panning of instruments/vocals in a mix the artifacts aren't too bad.

I'd remind everyone to remember the Audiosnap demos on video that "always" work as intended.  Audiosnap works well in ideal conditions and the demos seem to work that angle.

I'm betting that R-Mix will be a handy tool to have but don't expect it to work miracles all the time.
