About a year or two ago, somebody here linked to a video demo of audio
software which could take a mono or mixed signal, and allow the
adjustment of individual instruments or voices within it. I seem to
associate it with a German firm, but I could be wrong.

Does anybody remember anything about it, or have a link?

The only software I know of that can do that is a not-yet-released
version of Melodyne known as Direct Note Access or DNA. The demo video
is shown operating on a chord played on an acoustic guitar. I'm not
sure how effective it will be on blended human voices, but nonetheless,
what they have already achieved is quite remarkable.

This is indeed written by a German company called Celemony
(http://www.celemony.com), but they must be having some kind of
development problems with the DNA version because its half past May now,
and they still haven't released it after initially promising it for
release in the Spring.

I'm happy to wait though. I'd rather have software that works, instead
of software that almost works but was released to coincide with some
date set by the marketing department or a trade show event.

That's what I was looking for! Thank you!

Interesting, reading their literature they say it can't seperate anything
thats producing the same note even if they're different sounds. Says
distortion is ok. I wonder about things that have an exciter effect or
other harmonic.

Be amazing if in ten years we end up with the ability to deconstruct tracks
back into a multi-track.

Yeah. The demo showed it was pretty good at isolating individual
notes from an electric piano track. It was impressive at analysing a
strummed guitar passage, shifting pitches so as to modify the chords.
This could be moderately useful for correcting recordings still in
multitrack.

What people really WANT of course is to isolate and modify just one
instrument in a mix. I don't run with those who say it can never be
done. But I suspect it will require a different approach, maybe one
of ingenious simplicity, maybe brute-force analysis on
ever-more-powerful computers.

Don't overlook Algorithmix Renovator. It can often times produce great
results whereas all other methods fail. Not perfect, but it has rescued me
many times.
