Using Software to Separate Audio Tracks for Impressive Live Performances

Creating an impressive live music show requires creativity, technical know-how and musical talent for artists to uniquely express their talents and stand out from other talented individuals. A vital aspect of creating this unique expression is the ability to use audio playback of stems during performances.

In this blog post, we’ll explore how software helps create impressive live shows by making audio playback a regular part of today’s live music and opening up many creative possibilities with stem separation technology.

How Software Has Made Audio Playback a Regular Part of Today’s Live Music Shows

Live performing artists use software to separate audio tracks, creating audio playback tracks without vocals, which acts as their backup. Here are some reasons why:

Maintaining Consistency

Audio playback provides a level of consistency needed when recreating studio recordings on stage. To ensure that they don’t deviate too much from the original track during live performances, artists must rely on audio playback as a regular part of their performance. This consistency is necessary to appeal to fans familiar with the recorded music instead of confusing them.

Enhanced Sounds and Backing Tracks

Using software to separate audio tracks allows live performing artists to deliver a complete, studio-like experience to their fans without an orchestra.

Audio playback makes this possible by enhancing the overall sound to provide a more polished, studio-like experience and compensating for the technical limitations or other issues that might arise during live performances.

Customized Performances

Audio playback opens up creative possibilities for live performers, like allowing them to introduce advanced choreography. The tempo, for instance, can be adjusted, allowing for faster and more energetic choreography or slower performances for a moody theme.

The artists can also explore new musical avenues by using software to separate the audio tracks. They can experiment with different sounds, textures, and arrangements, leading to more creative and dynamic live shows.

Learning From Other Artists’ Work

Software tools allow artists to isolate different audio elements into layers that they can study independently and learn about the various choices made by audio engineers.

With the help of spectrogram information, for instance, artists can learn how to identify the frequency content and the amplitude of any song’s isolated tracks. Learning how to identify these frequencies allows them to learn about the audio design choices made by the audio engineers. The artist can then replicate the audio engineer’s choices or improve on them to create impressive live performances.

How Using Software to Separate Audio Into Stems Opens Many Possibilities

Separating audio into stems unlocks many creative and practical possibilities for live performers, producers, and audio enthusiasts. Some of these possibilities include:

Remixing

Stems make it possible for remixers to alter the tempo, beat, effects, and more of the song.

DJs and remixers can isolate vocals, drums, or any other element and experiment with different arrangements, tempos, and effects. This gives rise to countless remixes and mash-ups that captivate audiences.

Music Sampling

Software used to separate audio tracks creates opportunities for music samplers to reuse parts of stems from the isolated track in other recordings. The advantage of music sampling is that these song snippets can be modified beyond recognition, creating an entirely new sound from an existing track.
