#Straturday - Not angry, just disappointed...

I've been playing around with this new software Ripx that pulls apart the tracks of a song allowing you to create your own backing tracks and while it works quite well... it kind of doesn't.

There always seems to be a lot of bleeding across tracks. Especially when there are two instruments playing similar notes. I find that particularly bad with rock tracks where the bass and guitar play similar riffs.

The other thing it seems to do with a vocal track is leave it kind of washy as if there is a phaser effect on it.

I thought I'd give this song a try. It's a late nighties tune from a UK band called Reef. They were mildly big over hear with this song but fizzled out after. The singer has a great rock voice. Kind of Credence Clear Water Revival - John Fogerty like.

The backing track turned out alright, but NQR... A lot of the keyboard parts bled into guitar track and o was removed in the backing track. I really like the song, so I ended up buying it from Karaoke Version for a couple of bucks.

No solos (certainly not a 'still got the blues' track that I'm supposed to be working on but am not...) just a few chords and some cool riffs.

Enjoy!

Great job as usual David! I love this tone that you created😍 I'm very much looking forward to your next posts! Keep up the good work.

Cheers Alireza. An oldie but a goodie.

I remember the song. It's quite a funky guitar part. I guess any software that tried to unmix songs is going to have limits. It seems to have only been widely available recently, so it may improve. I think there are more high end apps that let you do more such as fix one note in a mix. It is some clever signal processing.

I'm not knocking the software at all. I think it does an incredible job, and for $100 it's really pretty reasonable. I saw your reply the other week with links to other software that does a similar thing, but the videos wouldn't play. Not sure if they're not available anymore or there is problem between my keyboard and chair.😁

I'll have to look at it again some time. It's a shame the backing tracks site I used before shut down, but maybe I can make my own. Can still find some on Youtube.

You make use of workstation when making you r music, I have not gotten a real hand of mine yet that’s why I haven’t been using the one I have.

Also, I enjoyed the guitar lines played all through.
