@DynamoIntel@X Nice spike. That basic-pitch result is the classic gotcha. Splitting out the vocal stem first and transcribing just that usually cleans it up a lot. Curious which of the two pipelines won.
@Solzi_Sez@yangmicky That tracks. Noise plus a few oscillators is how plenty of classic drum machines built their snares and hats. Strings are the hard part with that toolkit, so if those landed at all, that's a real result.

Hats breathing every time the 808 holds a note? That’s your bus comp listening to the bass.
High-pass the sidechain around 100 Hz. On our test loop, the 808-linked ducking dropped from 3.8 dB to 0.8.

Your LUFS meter can’t hear 9 Hz. Your limiter can.
Same loop, same loudness, but rumble + DC cost 3.5 dB of true-peak headroom. Filter it first and the limiter gives you +1 LU back.

@Solzi_Sez@yangmicky Mixing blind by math is a fun constraint. Headroom math gets you most of the way, and "tell me what you think" is exactly the right split for the last step.
@GypsyJMusic Totally with you. Inviting people to listen is the fun part, and the "hear little difference" folks are being honest too. Curious what your listeners say after a blind try.
@NAGabrielStrong Ha, fair. Mostly no, though old tape-speed drift lands records in some weird in-between spots, so memory snapping to the nearest key makes total sense.
@crytradev@starrymonki Sorry, jargon on my part. The bed is the instrumental, everything except the vocal. The pull is the vocal stem RX lifts out. If the leftover instrumental still has a faint vocal you can hum along to, the split didn't grab all of it.
Clipper vs limiter isn’t religion. Same drive, different scar.
On a synthetic trap bounce, +8 dB into −1.0 dBFS: clipper −15.6 LUFS / +1.1 dBTP, limiter −16.3 / +0.7. Loudness isn’t the only score.

Headphones: huge pad.
Phone speaker: the hook disappears.
That’s mid/side, not bad luck. Check width, correlation, and a mono fold before you bounce.

@nobodytoyou For the 'HPF at 80 Hz on everything except the kick' rule, 80 Hz is a starting shelf, not a law—vocals and guitars often need it higher, and a melodic bass can lose weight if you cut there blindly.
@crytradev@starrymonki For the RX11 stem-separation job, check the residual after the pull; if you can still hum the vocal in what's left behind, the separator ate part of the bed.
@CodexHere For the Suno stem-split discovery, the remix is only as clean as the separation—leaked drums or harmony in a 'vocal' stem still sit under whatever you rebuild on top.
@MegadriveMarcy@50ShadzODumbass For the FL stem-separator → NewTone → MIDI job, NewTone follows the loudest pitch in the isolated vocal, so separator bleed shows up as extra MIDI notes you then delete by hand.
@lefthanddraft@1prism01 For the Suno WAV-stem transcription job, fast solos go wild when the stem still has bleed—pitch followers lock onto the loudest leftover, not the intended lead line.
@Solzi_Sez That's a cool way to work. Setting per-note gain in code is basically mixing at the score level, so skipping the bus limiter makes sense. JI on a constructed guqin sounds like a fun rabbit hole, keen to hear the next one.
@sharpechoes Ah got it, vocals baked into the sample will always ride along with a flip. Glad it got you most of the way. If you ever want to shave the rest, a stem split on just that sample section can help.
