Members Unfed Posted April 22, 2012 Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 ahh, ok. not familiar with how this works, how would you isolate a sound as stated above? and why can this not be done with vocals? any software that can do this? EDIT: googling now. i know about center cancelling and phase inversion, just wondering if there's been any breakthroughs in this area lately.

Members Unfed Posted April 22, 2012 Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 interesting, thanks! seems a bit similar in operation, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mediterranean Posted April 22, 2012 Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 interesting, thanks! seems a bit similar in operation, no? They do look similar as far as interface and visuals [although the R-Mix is more powerful as it shows you the frequencies in color], but the software MuzikB is talking about is much more powerful in my opinion. It's a basically a synth and a sampler. I just downloaded the demo version on my laptop but I don't have an audio interface, so the onboard sound chip was processing the sound and it sucked [crackling sound, distortion, etc]. But I recorded a "bzzz" sound with my voice using my handheld recorder [Zoom H4n] and manipulated it using the LFO, envelope and effects in Iris and it's very interesting. The bzzz sound turned into a very weird effect. I think this program is good for creating sound effects for example. I don't know if you can manipulate sound in the Roland R-Mix the way you can in Iris. But as you saw in the videos above, the R-Mix is amazing as far as frequency isolation because you can actually see the different frequencies in different colors. I am going to use the Zoom H4n as an audio interface itself and see if I get better audio output with Iris. It was difficult for me to use this program because I am new to virtual stuff, but I'm sure it will be much easier for those who are used to making music directly on their computer. Thanks MuzikB:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuzikB Posted April 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 No problem Med. Ok, a full sound has harmonics all over the place covering several frequencies. Iris is not in color so you can only discern the content for the spectral analysis frequency bands. If a song were minimal enough, you could just isolate what you want. The way it is though, it would be a hell of a lot more useful for film work. Say you've got an actress talking and there's a low rumble in the background. The separation of frequencies would be clearly shown in the spectrograph and you could "draw out" what you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meatball Fulton Posted April 24, 2012 Members Share Posted April 24, 2012 Tried the demo and it was interesting to be sure but too heavy on my CPU to consider actually using it! A common problem with softsynths, I can't afford to upgrade my laptop every time a new softsynth comes out. As far as doing audio restoration with Iris, it's based on RX2 which costs a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
