Acoustica User Forums

Hello, which Acoustica software do I want to do the following: filter out lead guitar on mp3 recordings leaving only the back up band (I have JamVox which does not work very well), also speed up/slow down tempo without changing pitch. Change pitch when I need to. I do many cover tunes and JamVox just doesn't filter out very well, I think I seen a program from Acoustica and I would like to try it and then buy it if it works better then JV.

Have a look at Riffstation Pro.

You can slow down / speed up / isolate instruments (and then either solo them or mute them).

In addition you can use it to identify chords (this is what I mainly use it for).

My only gripe with it is that it wont display full screen - only in a window which bugs me!

There is a 30 day free trial version

** EDIT - Some more specific information about making a backing track by filtering out the guitar.

Thanks, I have heard of riffstation I may go with it but I would be interested in what acoustica has.

Hi,

Acoustica doesn't have any products dedicated to filtering out a guitar part. Depending on how a song is mixed, I'm not sure any product could do a good job at removing guitar and still leave a good-sounding song. I haven't heard the results from Riffstation Pro, but they do have a free demo you can try.

I've never heard any inexpensive programs result in anything I would consider anything but a practice aid. The resulting track usually sounds pretty bad.

There are some high end/costly programs that make great strides in this direction, but still..... Skeptical at best.

Time stretch/slow down for practice/training, that's easy. Mixcraft, among many others does that quite well.

Ok checked out riffstation, not even as good as jamvox, so unless anyone has another suggestion Im done. What are some of the "high end" ones?
