I wanna jam with the big boys
What i would like to be able to do is for instance take a song by another artist and chop out all the instruments exept for the drums. I know how to insert a song into the live program and alter it, But how do you take layers off of it. Dont worry I want to do this for private study purposes only.
Emef is correct, so the best you can do with a finished, 2-track master is:
- Mult a few instances of the original. Use the 4 - band eq to do frequency cuts to remove whatever you can without removing too much of what you want.
- You can set up sends from the cut tracks to new tracks with different EQ and compression to further bring back to life the sounds you do want.
- Also if you can find sections of the original that are less busy, you can sample those and re-arrange / add in your new parts.
That is how I do remixes of artists I produce sometimes; however most of the time I have the raw, individual mono or stereo tracks (like vox, bass, synth1, arp, etc) that I can just bring into Live.
