SMARTSubtract
Quickly and easily subtract interfering music, television or speech from an audio recording if you have a reference song, TV show, or speech recording that you want to remove from the recording.
Two tracks automatically synchronised audio in SMARTSubtract
SMARTSubtract uses MADCAT(TM) audio fingerprinting technology to align the two files and perform reference cancellation. The high quality ‘reference cancellation’ is provided by two powerful VST plugins from two leading audio processing software companies namely Salient Sciences (previously Digital Audio Corporation) and Acon Digital (creators of Acoustica).
Example Use Case:
Consider a recording of people talking in a room with a radio playing over the top of their speech. This may mean their voices are inaudible in the recording due to being drowned out by the radio broadcast. Reference cancellation of the synced audio can help by taking the reference audio (i.e. the song that is playing on the radio) and subtract this audio from the original audio recording.
In order for this process to be as successful, the two audio clips need to be very precisely time-aligned so that the reference audio is playing at the same time as it is in the original track. SMARTSubtract will do this for you with a click of a button.
