In this very special podcast extra interview Mike Wabro explains to Mike Thornton how he was able to surgically remove the music from the mono film sound track to leave just the dialog and effects.
Removing polyphonic music from a mixed track has been the holy grail of audio manipulation. There are some solutions for taking a vocal out of a mixed stereo track with a variety of success including the new ADX Trax but this project undertaken by sound editor Mike Wabro was very different.

Mike Wabro has let us have some before and after examples which are still ‘work in progress’ he still has some work to do as there is still the odd note showing or some words still needing some work on them before the live performance. Thanks Mike for being willing to share your work whilst you are still fine tuning. There aren’t many people who would share their work whilst they are still refining it, so thanks Mike for being so open.
The Event
At the Southbank Centre on August 15th, 22nd & 29th David Lean’s account of a romantic affair will be accompanied by live music from the London Philharmonic Orchestra and is the centrepiece of a three-week series of films screened in the Royal Festival Hall.
Adx Trax Pro Vs Izotope Rx 7
David Lean’s 1945 film traces the affair of a married doctor and suburban housewife who meet on a train platform and features Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 throughout its soundtrack: in fact, the film was largely responsible for bringing this epic work to fame.
If you would like to experience the event and all Mike’s hard work on the film soundtrack the you can book tickets on the South Bank Centre’s web site. It is also hoped to be able to tour the work around the world in due course but as yet we do not have any dates for this.
Thanks and credits
We would like to thank Mike Wabro’s clients for giving us permission to describe this process in detail and for permission to enable you to listen to two clips before and after Mike has worked his magic.
Mike’s work has been completed on behalf of ITV Studios Global Entertainment and Park Circus Films.

Adx Trax Pro Vs Izotope Rx 1
Audionamix TRAX Pro SP and iZotope Dia Isolate: update
I promised I'd post an update after doing some journal article research on these two Neural Network-equipped audio tools. Bottom line:
1. They both work.
2. They aren't magic: you will hear artifacts, if you try to do things they're not equipped for.
Both manufacturers were gracious enough to give me time and Skype access to their senior developers, along with NFRs for testing. It turned into an article for the quarterly journal of Cinema Audio Society, explaining how Neural Networks actually work and why they're different from any other processing or plug-in architecture we've had before.
Article includes a web page with downloadable samples, which I generated using actual film production tracks.
Article is not comprehensive reviews. They weren't appropriate for current issue (because it's also the annual equipment awards issue). But they'll be coming in future months.
