Audio separation solutions provider Audionamix has announced the newest addition to its source separation tools: Dialogue Isolation, used to separate dialogue from music and effects tracks. “Just as Music Dissociation took the market by storm when it was released in 2010, Dialogue Isolation has the potential to help back-catalog content owners re-release thousands of older titles and create new revenue streams that otherwise would not have existed,” commented Audionamix VP of Production Rick Silva.
Depending on the elements, Audionamix now has the ability to provide major motion picture studios with Dialogue Isolation for native and foreign feature films, and the company’s first challenge was to use this new service on Universal Studio’s cult classic The Blues Brothers. Audionamix sound engineers were able to separate the English dialogue from the music and effects tracks, allowing them to superimpose new French, Italian, German, and Spanish-language dialogue tracks.
The result, said Silva, is high-quality, high-fidelity audio tracks in multiple languages and in less time, enabling movie studios to easily distribute films internationally in true surround sound. “The applications of this service and the value they provide to studios and audiences are boundless."
