Simply random stuff

AI demixing has come a long way since I first used Spleeter. UVR has a lot of choices, and of course it all depends on the mix.

The algorithms have gotten very, very good. Just not...as good it needs to be for doing something like post-mix recovery.

Exactly this. It's very impressive kind of like a modern highly realistic animation. And every bit as obviously still not real!

I'm kind of saying 'Spleeter' like "Kleenex' and meaning it generically, sorry.

There are some very good mch mixes derived from stereo. One of the problems, and you can see this in spectral editing (which I admittedly don't have much patience for) is e.g. you might have two guitars basically playing similar notes. Trying to separate that out can be hard or just tedious (as with spectral editing).
AI separation has come a long, long, way. I have hopes it will keep getting better.

I'm using this thing called "Ultimate Vocal Remover" and I'm not demixing to upmix! I'm demixing a stereo in hopes of improving and mixing back into stereo...

That one is just so-so from my early experience with it. If you don't want to shell out the bucks for the high end DeMix Pro software, you can try LALAL.AI. I'd post samples, but we are not allowed to upload that kind of stuff.

 

[mandrix]

Well the beauty of LALAL.AI is you can pay for what you need.
Being I'd rather spend my money on actual releases, I stick with the free AI programs. I've not done much mixing in a while for lack of time, but on my budget can't justify paying for DeMix Pro.
Otherwise, I've been "upmixing" since I joined this forum with all sorts of methods, way before there were any AI programs.
It's only going to get better.

On a completely unrelated note, I listened to the 20th anniversary edition of Starsailor's Love is Here...it's worse than the original . I feel like I could do better by tweaking the original mix. It's very clearly remixed from the multitracks which makes me sadder. I would kill for this record in 5.1.

EDIT: The original mix has been nuked from streaming? AAAAAAGH!

Blue Jays and Leafs win = perfect day.

The Blue Jays' bats show some promise in their fifth straight opening-day win ​

They looked more like the Jays of 2021 and 2022 with three homers and a big sixth inning.

So thats what Justin Hayward and John Lodge are up to these days!

The Moody Blues website says that they are performing individually, not together.

Duh?

 

[DuncanS]

If they're not performing as the Blue Jays, as @JohnN mentioned bats may be its with one of these?

After a pathetic attempt at karaoke I have learned that not singing often for 6 months, does in fact, make you worse at singing. It is not like a guitar or something where you're like 90% of the way there if you take a large hiatus.

What songs did you sing?

 

[Mr. Afternoon]

I couldn't tell you...I just sing whatever comes to mind.
Of course I'm not singing in a public venue, I'm singing at home with family.

 

[Mr. Afternoon]

i'm soooo tired i just dont want to work on anything whether it's actual work or music uuuuuugh

On an unrelated note, it baffles me how far some cancelled surround mixes get. As I've learned recently, some even get to the pressing stage before being cancelled, which is really ridiculous to me, because if you've spent all this money mixing and authoring why would you not go forward???

On an unrelated unrelated note, I wish somebody would give me a break and let me mix their stuff in surround. People I know well personally (like toad and some names I'm not allowed to mention yet) don't count. Then again, the work I have available to showcase my talents...aren't exactly the pinnacle of sonics.

The Wild Orchids (we've over 50 species native to the UK) have started to shoot up in my garden , they're fairly early as I would have expected them to appear in around 2-3 weeks - I had none, then 3 for years, then 5, then last year I found 33, half of which were that years germination as they only had a single leaf. Not all will have survived the winter & rain
