Title: Program to filter out background music.
Post by: Willabe on October 27, 2025, 11:17:38 pm

I have some teaching lessons that has this very annoying background music that makes it very hard to listen to the speaker teaching.

Anybody know of a program to filter out just the background and leave just the voice?

Thanks, Brad

I've tried the trial for Hit'n'Mix RipX for making backing tracks and isolating instrument/vocal tracks

Doug's been using it for his backing tracks in the Sound Clip forum section, its a great little tool

One little trick that's great I didn't notice at first is when you have separated some guitar, you can manipulate the notes pitch and length etc, and its so funny to drag the notes out in time and make some infinite "Gary Moore" style solo notes, drag them out for about 30 seconds  :laugh:

On really "dense" recordings, old blues, or fast bluegrass it can find it hard to separate instruments that are closer in frequencies, I did a few old tracks and they came out with violin and harmonica blended together still on the same channel, but some guitar notes from a solo got mistaken for violin and was still bleeding into the violin channel etc

Its a very interesting program to mess about with

Ok, I'm totally lost!

I downloaded the 21 day trial RipX pro.

So then I tried to do a test by downloading/recording a youtube video. I can't get it to work and the instructional articles say Mac mini cant record the sound just the picture of the video.

And anytime I try to record a youtube video with the Mac's Quick Time Player it only turns on my camera I use for zoom calls.

I'm thinking I have to have something that's already downloaded in my computer with sound that will be imported into RipX to use RipX to do what it does.

I was also thinking that maybe I'm supposed to use the short cut buttons on the keyboard to have the recording controls on the screen over the youtube video that's on the screen? But the short cut keyboard buttons don't work.

How do you do this?
