Unmixing song for just sax & brass on high setting. This is a sax mic feed from a live recording, so lots of bleed from other instruments. I’m having to recursively rerun the process on the “Other” output, because so much is left behind. It might just be that the feed from this multitrack isn’t that great, but I’m wondering whether it would be possible to add a recurse function, which keeps rerunning the process on the Other layer that’s output, collating each extraction into into a folder? Perhaps either letting the user specify a depth, and ideally an option to continue until nothing more is being extracted?
I’m literally on my 30th go around and it’s dull real fast.
I’ve fiddled around with the unmix instrument funtion. I’m not as impressed as in the Steinberg videoes. I find it impossible to get a good result from the unmix instrument routine. No matter how I register the source instument, and after that, apply it on a selection og the whole file, it doesn’t seem to do much on the layer & instruments.
I thought, that the unmix instrument routine would work wonders on separating instrument. To me it seems like, that if you should be in luck in getting it to work.. the 2 instruments needs to be in a superb quality, and mixed so.. that they pretty much is separated in the mix. As in Steinberg video examples, which is the same really really good example. There is seems to work. A bit annoying.
whatever source material I tried, unmix instrument is delivering more or less worthless results, often not better than standard unmixing.
The huge experience gap between the stunning results of Steinberg and Dom Sigalas promo videos on one hand, and lots of rather disappointing user results on the other hand is hard to reconcile, despite some SL12 improvements over 11.
I am a longtime Steinberg user with very positive user experiences with much of their stuff, especially with Cubase 14, Halion 7, Groove Agent 5 and Dorico 6, so I wouldn’t mind some expected early issues with the release of Spectralayers 12.
But the multiple and very fundamental SL 12 issues, which customers face one by one while using the new version, go far beyond what I expected and what I stumbeld upon in first use. All in all, this does undermine grown trust in Steinberg in a very unpleasant way. Steinberg should show as much responsible presence here as they can for the time being, and their first quickfix (hopefully coming fast) probably can only be the first ihn a whole series, to get all the basics of SL12 going as they should.
Indeed… It’s a given that Dom is handed only very carefully curated source material on which to demonstrate SL’s capabilities. If you or I were provided the same, we’d produce similar, if not exact same results no doubt… Notwithstanding the amounts of time spent producing said results of course.
If I remember correctly, this was also the exact course of events when SL11 was first launched. Quite hit and miss at the outset, with the situation certainly taking more than one or two ‘updates’ to eventually settle down…
In the meantime, I have bought into the intro offer - because I believe I will have a better product (over SL11), in time. But it is not installed anywhere yet.
