I want to take a clip and silence the music in it and bring forth the
background sound (the talking, walking, etc...). Like say if there
was a theme playing, and a bunch of people were getting on a bus, I
want the sounds with the bus and remove the music to as low as
possible.

-----------------
Another thing, I need help with Normalizing. What I want is to take
quiet parts of the clip and raise them very high. But I need to also
"keep" the loud sounds the same volume in the clip. When I normalize,
it uses dynamic compression to take care of the sounds that get too
loud.

For example, lets say there's a movie where people are firing
gunshots. There is talking amongst the people firing. If I apply a
normalize, I can bring forth the voices fine, but then the gunshots
would be muffled because of dynamic compression.

I want to keep the gunshots at the same volume and bring forth the
quiet background noise.

Thanks for any help!


Dont listen to these guys, of course you can do it.. All you need is a flux
capacitor and a Delorean. Pop back in time to the studio and patch a line
off the original mixer. Done! Record it on laptop and email it back to
yourself in the future- the technology will mess with the heads of everyone
in the studio. hehhe... . ( sorry I couldnt help myself)

Now, on a serious note. Guys have been trying to do this for years without
success. The person who creates the program to do it will be worth a
fortune.

As far as normalising goes. The simplest idea would be to record another gun
shot over the muffled one to compensate. Good luck

Perhaps telling us the reason you want to do it, may also spur some other
suggestions.
