Vocal separation with LALAL.ai Orion (Gen 4)

Step-by-step

1. Mute the original soundtrack to isolate the vocal track
2. Listen to the extracted vocals to identify artifacts and frequency loss
3. Check for remaining reverb in the isolated vocal stem

Watch out for

• Separation may result in audible artifacts commingled with the voice
• High-end frequency range can be lost, resulting in a dull, 'transistor radio' sound
• Reverb from the original track may still be present in the isolated vocal

Highlights

“it seems as though they've lost their real high-end frequency range. It feels like, almost as if you were listening to a transistor radio, but then you put a thin napkin over it.”
