Hi friends.
I still didn’t take the plunge to ProTools, but here is a software  I
 Just experimented  with a sighted person, it’s the most amazing thing I’ve heard in terms of stem extraction from a simple stereo WAV file.
it does even more than RX Music rebalance module. it’s really amazing. As it’s a small company, I wonder if they would be sensitive to an accessibility request. But just for fun,  listen to the demos 

Enjoy,
JPR

Hi Jean-Philippe,

Where you able to use VoiceOver while testing it?
Thanks
Chuck

Hi Chuck. 
Unfortunately no, I wish I had. 
Cheers,

Unfortunately, I would imagine that making this software accessible would be next to impossible. I am sure that it relies heavily on isolating specific components in the wave forms of the audio. Being able to identify these components would be very difficult. It is an amazing concept though. We certainly are in very exciting times now as far as audio production is concerned. I work with someone who does enjoy playing around with stuff. I’ll see if he can be interested in checking out the demo.

Hi Gordon,
I wouldn’t say so. For example Izotop RX is partly accessible, even though you cannot draw things, you still can do a lot with its modules and their parameters. Same with mellodyne, that is partly accessible on PC, even though the user interface changes so much with every new version, but it’s really hard for the Scriptures to follow…
As far as  Rip X is concerned, what I understood is that once you import a file into it, it divides it into things that look a lot like tracks. And they are called Drums, Bass, Vocal, and Guitar and so on. What could be less accessible is the processing,  tuning , of ime, of time shifting and so on areas of this plug-in. But I’m pretty sure the basics could be accessible and we could easily mute or set each of these tracks levels…
Hope someone will try that.
Cheers,
JPR

Well, if it gets you the individual parts separated, you can always do the processing in reaper itself. I kind of had the feeling that this whole concept is similar to Miller Diane, perhaps Miller Diane on steroids. It certainly would be worth a look. I wonder what the limitations of the demo or.

Isn't this software similar to Demucs? I don't know if you've heard Demucs, but I doubt it's better than that. I wouldn't be surprised if it were even based on it.

Maybe. But Demucs uses command lines. I’m not familiar at all with the way this works. Could someone explain?
Also, I haven’t heard convincing audio demos of Demucs.

Hi Jean-Philipp,
I have iZotope RX8 and as for the the Izotope RX Music rebalance I had all the presets saved out in to pro tools and its already paid for its self several times over.
You can get most tasks done with the presets and a bit of creativity! :)
Non of the stem separators are Up to my snuff but with the presets Izotope is just fine for now!
In fact I use iZotope RX8n with all the presets in protools and is fantastic!
Talk soon
Chuck

Hi JP,

Thanks for the tip, great program. I managed to split all sounds on Mac OS using Voice Over and VOCR. On Windows I couldn’t.
Splitting sounds is all I need for now., so I will definately consider purchasing it.

thanks again.

Ronald

Hi Ronald,
Good to know. On PC, I guess hotspot clicker or auto hotkey key could make it just as accessible as on the Mac with  VOCR. I’ll give it a try.
Cheers,
JPR
