  1. Ok, im cutting together a trailer for my website. I am using clips from dvds that i own, but when i extract the dialogue that i want to use in the trailer... i am getting parts of the score used in the movie too. Is there any way to cut out the score from the movie and have just the dialogue in the sound track. I have Adobe Premiere and Adobe Audition for my editing programs. I also downloaded goldwave from this website as well...but i haven't had any real luck with either of these programs just yet. If anyone here knows how to do this, can you please respond and let me know what it is that i need to do. thanks!

    Hi vcdfreak3240,

    If you're lucky, each element of the audio (i.e. score, dialogue etc.) will be in a separate audio track in the original file. Meaning that, if you're lucky and if you're using a tool that can extract the separate tracks then you'll be able to remove the unwanted tracks... And so have the only audio you want.
    There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.

    Carpe diem.

    If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.

  5. A long shot... but a possibility.
    Using the track that has both the dialogue and the music...
    Select part of the audio that has ONLY the soundtrack playing. Then use the Noise Remover effect. Click "get profile from selection" in the Noise Remover options. Then close the effect (do not apply the effect yet). Select EDIT -> Select Entire Wave. Then go back into Noise Remover, and apply the effect. It will remove all frequencies that the soundtrack (the small section you originally selected) uses. My guess is it will partially destroy the voice/dialogue, but it might work. I've used this tool to remove background talking/track bleed when recording music, and it has worked great (without ruining my wanted sound).

    If you try this, let me know how it turns out!

    Each audio track (or channel) in a single audio file contains different aspects of the total sound you hear.

    For example, stereo is 2 channel (left and right) e.g. the left channel can, say, have one singer in a duet with the right channel containing the other singer. Overlaid behind each singer in each channel are the instruments (common to both channels).

    In the stereo example above, it'd be very difficult (impossible?) to remove the instruments because they aren't in their own channel. But, it would be very simple to remove one or other of the singers coz they have their own channel - just remove the desired channel.

    So, for AC3 Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (the type on commercial DVDs) there's 6 channels (5.1 means 5 & 1, hence 6). So, it depends what sounds are stored in each of the 6 channels as to what you can easily remove.

    How do you tell how many channels? I've never used it with AC3 5.1, so can't say for sure, but would suspect that AVICodec would be up to the job.

    As for what audio editing tool can you use - it needs to be able to work with AC3 5.1 as well as having the functionality you desire. Sorry, I don't really do audio editing so can't help you on that one. All I can do is suggest you look at Goldwave as it might (tentative suggestion) be OK.

    do i need to do this right from the ac3 file or can i use the mp3 of it that i have converted?
    So, based on the above - Yes, do it right from the AC3 5.1 (if that's what it is) file. No, you can't use the mp3 unles it's carrying all 6 channels too - and mp3 is usually only stereo (2 channels).

    Hope that helps. Good luck...

  7. sonic foundry' sound forge is probably the best sound editing software but is expensive when you have seperated the audio channels you can do pretty much anything with this program sound wise
