1. Give RX7 a try--its the music rebalancer module. I think they've worked that into the latest Ozone version too, but I like using it in the RX standalone program.

    There's the same (?) master rebalance module in Ozone which I sometimes use. But never succeeded to remove a vocal completely from a backing track like with Spleeter.

    But obviously I could try it the other way around, separate the vocals via Spleeter and then repair the backing track via RX7. I'm still having issues with the backing track of Stuck in a moment where removing Bono leaves a gap also in drums/guitars/synths. And I tried to put 3 new singers on that backing track...
  3. Gotcha. They're different algorithms. You're stretching the capability of those algorithms by doing a total separation, they're designed for releveling portions. But I do the same thing....

    Have you ever tried to fix a backing track after separation btw? I just re-did that Stuck mix and uploaded it. Seems there's a lot you can do with various EQ either in Ozone or via the Tokyo Dawn plugins I'm using. The TDR's would be excellent for doing the IEMS as well if that's ever your goal
  5. I uhh....have been using Ozone on IEM recordings for over ten years.
  6. I know. But my question was about how you'd go about fixing a backing track after separation.. right? I love the TDR plugins personally (Nova, SlickEQ and Limiter 6). Some things can be "fixed" there outside of Ozone.

  7. I haven't need to do it since my purposes are different than yours, but I might do careful use of the spectral repair using RX7 to patch points where the audio gets damaged from the extractions.

    Cool, I'll look into that. Stuck in.a moment is a track I'm having most issues with. Partly because it's very dense and when you take the vocals out there's muddy gaps here and there. Other reason is that I have put other singers on it that sing different songs, so they don't "fill" those gaps necessarily..

    But to be honest, the basic track for that I did a while ago. And back then my routine was to download an Mp3 from YT and separate that. I'm guessing higher quality audio will also give better results when separating. So I'm first going to separate a lossless version of Stuck and see what that gives and then look into RX7 (which I don't have at the moment).
