Audio Stem Separation
...a Marvel of Technology!

Hello All!

...Been a while since i Posted anything here
as stated a few years ago,
i did say that i would post 'conversational things' here from time to time.

i would like to talk about this marvel,
of going into a song file, and separating the instruments piece by piece.

its called Audio Stem Separation...
for all the musicians out there-that for decades,
wished they could learn that part in their favorite old song,...
but the audio was from the 40's, 50's, 60's, etc;
or just had a mix- that was hard to discern individual parts....

now there's LALAL.AI

a Fantastic site that does all that work for you!

upload any audio file,
select to isolate any individual instrumentation you desire,
and.... Voilà!
it automatically separates that chosen part from the rest of the audio!...like magic!
Using Sophisticated notch filter algorithms makes this possible

So if you're a musician that has to learn a tune- note for note,
but can't hear what's really going on in the mix,
THEN THIS SITE IS FOR YOU....Highly Recommended!

Check it out!!!

The End

Hello !! .. to All who Know About, or may Stumble across this Blog..

Today is April 16th, 2019..

& I've had this Blog running  for almost 8 years now...
and...oh, i dunno,..
as much as I have been Grateful for these LP Blogs
that opened up a world of exposure to Rare Records over the years,
it seems that doing it "this way",  is a totally passe'/dead  internet "fad" if you will,
and doing it this way  is Soooooo '10 years ago'...lol..
due mostly to the emergence of  i.e; iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, etc,..
but not to forget  YouTube
and their recent allowance of MUCH longer duration time (and then some)
to be on a Single Uploaded Video..

So,..with a Heavy Heart,... < {i'm Lying, i could give a shit!..lol}
this will be the EotL for this Blog  < at least as a "DL site"  that is,..

note; I WON'T take this blog down, NOR will i remove the DL links...
{i.e;. if This Blog / the DL links  go dead, blame Blogger / Mediafire,..Not Me..lol)
id actually like to keep this blog up  as a 'side conversation' < {whatever that means..}
but any more 'main additions'  will be moved to a Streaming YT Channel..

..this Link Directly Below is My 'Main' YT Channel,
& a " Sister Channel "  to it,  beneath that..
which is Focused more towards;
Strange/Odd/Weird/Bizarre/Obscure Records & Recordings..

     For the Love of Good Music
   
     Bizzarowetz!


So  if you've enjoyed what i have shared over the years,
feel totally free to let me know in a comment,
and what i could do to make my YT channel(s) more appealing...

A Big Thank You to All who have Appreciated My Taste in Music !

See You on Zoo...
uh,..i mean; You Tube!


Hallowicious..

Voltage Brothers - Throw Down (1978)



                                Funk/Dance Group out of Rochester NY {i believe..}
                                       
                                                       Good Late 70's Funk,
                                              but i can't help giving an opinion,
                                that the Disco-ish tunes on this LP (while very enjoyable,)                                                                      were sounding a little 'Dated' by then,..
                                                  ..Even by '1978' Standards...
                                     {i.e.; .. the "Philly Soul Sound"  Went 'Out'  after 1976..}                                                                                                   
                                                                   here

Matrix - IX (1977)


                              Horn Based 70's Jazz Fusion group out of Wisconsin
                                            This Release is Actually a Reissue
                                                 of their 1st LP from a year earlier,
                                            on Independent Label; Ultra Nova ...
                                                when they got signed to RCA
                                     
                                         More Info & Discography on this Group

                                                                   here

WNOK 105 - Columbia, SC.
May 7, 1983



                     Here's a Treat for all of you Columbia South Carolina Residents,
                                                  ..who are more likely in the 45-55 y.o. Range for this...

          I found Old Dirty Cruddy 8 Track Tapes at the bottom of a Box at a Junk Store..
       and one of them, was this homemade recording from someone (in Col. SC obviously..)
                        taping snippets off of  105 WNOK Top40 Radio  back then...
               i won't get into what i had to do to make this playable after all these years,
                                    but i fixed the damn thing so i can transfer it.
                                           {you can see the actual transfer in progress a few posts ago,...
                                                             ...i know, like anyone gives a shit...lol..
                 
                                 ... surprising  that someone was still messing with '8track tapes' in "1983"}

                                 It becomes Very Apparent early in the broadcast
                                       that it was taped off of the radio in 1983...
                                            and towards the end, the actual date
                          is indirectly revealed in a "Jewelry Warehouse" commercial....

 {also,..if someone can find me the 'old 105 WNOK logo' from the Early 80's, let me know in the comment section...thx}
                                           
                                            Note : Dare i mention the Obvious,..
                          though i did my best during the Transfer & Digital Clean-up,
                              This Recording by its Nature,  is Less than 2nd rate,
                                       Excerpts, Abrupt Stops between Songs,
                                          ...& Tape Hiss Galore..lol....enjoy!

                                                 Emotions - Best Of My Love?
                                                         ...or This Album?...
