How to Isolate Instruments From a Song - (Using RipX DeepRemix)

[@othrerir_jussi]

Oh boy, a game changer for me. I don’t have the best hearing so sometimes learning things by ear can be a hassle when there’s a bunch of things going on.

[@othrerir_jussi]

@Victor Andrade well yeah, i was justifying that my ears are far from perfect :P i learn mostly by ear but sometimes if there’s too much stuff going on (typically in metal) whether it’s the mix or effects, it can be overwhelming and annoying ✌🏻

[@williampennell8567]

Dude... like 1 our of everything 10k people have perfect pitch. You don't need anything close to be able to know what chord changes are happening. There are certain chord progressions that are soooopopular thay you realize them right away. For others, you merely find the key of the song (which requires either decent pitch or a little bitnof get up and go to find the root note.) Quite looking for shit that will give you the easiest way. You don't have to know how to write classical 4 part harmony but, good lord, learn what each chord sounds like in a key (1 the major chord, rhe key everything resolves here 4 sounds good from and to almost anything 5 the dominant chord ultimate tension that wants to resolve to 1 and 6 the minor chord )/key of the parent key. In most rap music you can be on a 6 (minot chord) the whole time... or go 6-4 over and over. All this shit that makes people not have to do any work is definitely insulting to someone like me who HAS studied it and it's going to HINDER your progress. Have you ever depended on the GPS to get somewhere? You don't remember how to get there without... turn off the proverbial GPS and find your way there. This software IS cool tho for isolating drums (to sample or use to synthesize into your own percussions) ... quite looking for the easiest out. Can you hum? Well thej you can see what key u in so you can set all your 808's to the root note 🙄

[@moonlight-reveals]

Perfect pitch has nothing to do with music transcription or learning by ear: it's just an ability to recognize pitch without any context.

[@willdwyer6782]

It's called absolute pitch. For some folks it's second nature, but anyone who doesn't have a hearing impairment and understands the fundamentals of music theory can learn it with practice. Check out Rick Beato's youtube channel. He sells video instruction on fundamental music theory and ear training.

[@starchild692]

Perfect pitch has nothing to do with learning music by ear. In fact most humans don't have perfect pitch. The more you try to learn by ear the better you become.

I really like this tutorial! It's very clear and easy to follow. I also wanted to mention UnMixIt. It's a software that isolates vocals really well and does not require to be connected to an external server. It's also inexpensive.

Great video. Already got my trial

[@ramonroriz2006]

[@chahatsinghchauhan9891]

Hey David, been following you since the days you used to post guitar tutorials. Love your work!

[@guitarnerddad1982]

For all guitar players out there, Here is what you can expect. Do not get me wrong i am not trying to bash the software. It is one of the best one among similar softwares i tried. The software indeed does great job creating a karaoke track or backing track as demonstrated in the tutorial videos but if you want more than that as a guitar player, if fails. I tried the full trial version. All guitars including overdubs and transients are gathered under one guitar section. Even if you hand pick each note by hand and delete, you can not get a clean single guitar track. it captures every transient as separate note which makes cleaning and converting to midi impossible. I am too lazy to tab my compositions that I fed my dry single track to it to convert to a midi file. When i open the file with guitar pro the tab was nothing but a chaos thanks to transients. And it was hi quality dry wav file. Things gets worse if you use distorted guitars and god forbid mp3 files as source. IMHO even vocal tracks are unusable if you want to insert it in your DAW and make a new professional remix.

[@mrhobs]

EDIT 2: OK so it looks Rip comes with DeepRemix (demonstrated in the video), but 2 other modules DeepCreate, and DeepAudio allow you to do a whole bunch of other stuff, including record tracks with a microphone or MIDI controller. 21 day demo includes all 3, after that its $99 for DeepRemix, or $198 for DeepCreate + DeepRemix, or $297 for DeepAudio + DeepCreate + DeepRemix. (Still need to look into Ableton Live and Studio One's full feature list...) EDIT: So does this have like basic DAW features as well? I'd like to not have to switch back and forth between this and GarageBand if I can help it. Like if I need to record a little extra guitar part, or keyboard part... I'd have to use something else, huh? Also... this makes me wonder... I know GarageBand now has some basic isolating features (maybe just vocals) which... aren't the best for what I'm doing, but... maybe Ableton Live or Studio One has similarly advanced features to RipX? Might see if I can use something I already own ha. Original comment: Finally found a great option tool. Thanks for such a great straightforward video! There are probably several other tools like this, but this one works for Mac and seems to do everything I want. (I tried vocalremover, an in-browser app that is super simple and worked surprisingly well, but was also limited to just separating vocals. Hopefully RipX does that even better, plus I would like to see the notes and isolate other instruments occasionally.) Can't wait to try it! 😃

[@kyu2813]

Oh my god, this is incredible!!!! Imagine all the possibilities!!!

[@johnrogghe333]

Hey David. Fantastic demo bro. I'm just curious if the software can detect and separate different guitar layers played at the same time. In many songs it is not just one guitar at a time, but several guitars playing all at ones. Greetings. John.

[@dchicora]

I guess the answer is no. As far as I've seen in videos, it won't even separate piano, keys, etc from the guitar parts. That's what makes it hard to hear certain guitar parts to begin with.

[@DougGrinbergs]

Was trying to figure out how Rick Beato is able to solo tracks; could be this. Mind blown 😉👍

[@karma_moths]

Nice guitar work man!

[@petromic1947]

David thanks, you answered my prayers

[@prestigious5s23]

I wonder has this software anything to do with the Nimbus Centre which is located on the grounds of Muster Technological University in Cork. Went to a showcase their back in 2013 and there was a guy there who demonstrated this exact type of software he'd been working on for years, but was still a work in progress. I honestly didn't believe him when chatting to him beforehand, that it could do what he was saying, but sure enough the demo blew everyone away. The maths that was involved in this type of engineering is absolutely bonkors. I remember him showing bits of the code and its incredibly complex. At the time native instruments were trying to buy it from him, but he wanted a partnership, not sell the rights to it. I really do hope this is his baby in action because he was so passionate about what he was creating!

[@davidgallardoiii8079]

It’s awesome. I’m just curious on how to separate guitar and keys into individual stems. Because it seems they get paired up.

[@Minyin3737]

You have to do it yourself. You right click the sounds you don’t want and take them out. It takes a little bit but that’s how I do it.

[@abc-yv2js]

Great Demo. No extra BS.

[@jcavazos8]

This seems unreal, I have some recordings I did I will try the demo Thanks,

[@johnjohnstone8506]

do all guitar tracks play at the same time, or can you isolate guitar tracks so you can only listen to the rythem or the lead? like in the picture for this video it shows guitart-1, guitar-2 and guitar-3. thanks! great video

[@jessicataylor54]

Yeah I’m wondering this same thing. I only need it for separating lead & rhythm guitar

[@error404_Not-Found]

mindblowing app! thanks for video

[@Strongbear2013]

Thanks for the demo and explanation. How would this cope with a live recording where you'd get audience noise and clapping? Could it still isolate the individual instruments? And does it work for other instruments like a trumpet on a song? Thanks

[@zeppelinaissa-zh8df]

I want to upload every song from "Cut the Crap" by The Clash into this so I can get rid of the goofy sounds in the back of each song. That would sound INCREDIBLE!

[@CFernandoC]

Okay I have a question. My favorite band has a song that’s my favorite. Close to the end of the track there is an instrument that I’ve no idea what is used. It just sounds like a chime but somewhat faint. Would this let me edit that one part to make that chime I hear stand out more or is it not possible?

[@Farehaven]

I have it but the quality of the guitar was poor after removing the drums. Any tips to make it better?

[@nattauer6715]

I LOVE DAVID!

[@xosemusic]

This gives me hope as im deaf on my left ear and always felt not good enough to learn songs by ear.....curious, lets say i want to figure out the voicings of the chords in the rhythm guitar of a metal song, Can i mute the lead guitar, and vocals?

[@roberthorn6304]

Does this software work if you have something like an Allman Brothers song with two harmonized lead guitars? Is there a way to separate the guitars from each other?

[@Wallimann]

It will blend all guitars together I’m aftaid

[@guitarjonn7103]

I haven't yet tried this, but for what it's worth, by using Melodyne's polyphonic version of their pitch correction software, I think there's a work around for this (haven't tried it yet). You should be able to take 2 copies of that dual guitar stem and then be able to delete either to upper or lower guitar lines to eventually have yourself 2 separate guitar tracks. But, honestly, if I didn't already own it, I not sure I'd buy it just for that purpose, their polyphonic version ain't cheap. I'd be hoping there's a nice RipX upgrade coming down the pike.

[@joshuasydnee]

[@Major_FaimOfficial]

Spent 6 hours ripping stuff from KZbin with KZbin to wav converter just to have ripx state unsupported file type when I try to import them. Any advice?

[@Real_Life_Music]

RIPX is doing Cross-Over of Instruments into the other Track/Stem Instrument Tracks. When I look at the Monitor, it shows the Instruments under other Instruments on the Screen, so how on earth is anyone to Divide/Separate that if they are over the top of each other???

[@proggydan8257]

What if the piece of music you wish to separate has several [for example] Gtr tracks. Will it separate each of them?

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

That is seriously cool.

[@jessicataylor54]

Does the program do well at isolating the lead guitar from rhythm guitar tracks? I only intend to use it for this but in this example you’re only using one main track for guitar so I’m skeptical

[@woodward_alan]

Wow great stuff

[@musicsimplyexplained]

From what I can tell, ripping prozess also includes quantizing by creating a grid. Is there a way to export a quatized audio?

[@ef885]

Thank you David, great video. However, the start page indicates "Guitar 1, 2 and 3" which is exactely the main issue with this software. You can't isolate different guitar sections (rhythm, lead...) !

[@TitaniusAnglesmith]

That would be very useful. Hopefully machine learning can one day recognise the differences between lead and rythm. Do you know if it distuingishes between left and right if the track has it?

[@Undecidedable]

Most solos are on the center track so maybe just a selector for left/right or center

[@hoainamvu9469]

may i ask which version of ripx you used in this video ?

[@TheseusTitan]

Based on your video, I bought the software. When I have a recorded song, say by The Rolling Stones, I’m having a difficult time separating the piano from the guitar. Even though they say you can edit the guitar and save it on its own track who can make sense of the digital noises that used to be notes. The sounds don’t even sound familiar anymore to be able to recognize which is a guitar or the piano. It’s a lot of hodge podge and a complete mess.

[@mikebullock8196]

HI DAVID GREAT VIDEO CAN THIS RIPX DEEPREMIX SEPERATE LEAD TRUMPETS IN A SONG WHERE THE TRUMPET IS PLAYING THE LEAD MELODY AND CAN U REMOVE THE TRUMPET ALTOGETHER FROM THE SONG THANKS FOR REPLY AND IF IT CANT IF U KNOW A APP THAT CAN SEPRATE TRUMPETS FROM THE SONG PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS FOR YOUR HELP MIKE

Which software would then be the best one to take the saved .wav individual rhythm and solo guitars stems from a Metal band and translate them automatically into music sheets? Muse Score? Or is there something better?

[@LoveEliasson]

I don't understand. How is this even possible without having the original track for each instrument? You cannot use any tool to isolate a track completely. There will always be more or less noise from the other instruments... So either there are some form of tracks hidden in an audiofile that only can be extracted in a software. I think it's very strange.

[@pbabiesinspace6112]

This is exactly the thing you would need to do that. Sometimes the masters for different musicians music are available for download in their original multitrack format. And there is different software that can isolate different tones...but nothing quite like this. I haven't tried it yet...but if this video is legit...it does exactly what you are describing. You will have no trouble separating the tracks and recording them however you please. I am very interested in this because alot of the music I listen to is so layered, it is nearly impossible to tell exactly which instrument is doing what.

I gotta tell you David...my experience so far has not been great.

So, pretty basic song downloaded from youtube: drums, bass, guitar backing track with a harmonica lead instrument. Very disappointing result. I downloaded the trial after watching this video but I was not successful. Maybe I just don't know the software well enough but just wanted to share my own experience.
