This article disscussed the use of complex sound, mainly human voice, to filter out specific sound in audio recordings for editing or removal. The concept behind the idea is that a user mimics that sound which they would like to work with and then the application filters out that sound. This can be used for such things as removing a singers voice from a track for those who wish to be able to hear just the background music. This is not a new concept to sound editing however the ability to use a specified sound "object" input is new to this field.
I believe that this is an awesome idea that could very well revolutionize normal user sound editing and mixing. However some faults I see with this work is the ability to truely mimic only the soudns that you would like to remove may limit your ability to properly filter the audio file.
I see your point on the ability to mimic. I've known some people who are completely tone deaf. I'm not sure what they're using to detect the intended part, but I wonder if a tap on a surface that corresponds to sounds changing would be an alternative.
ReplyDeleteDid they say anything about getting things like drum parts?
