isolating a bassline?

[wesl56 10+ year member]

just playin around with audicity, a sound editing program and i wanna be able to take just the bassline out of a song... so i can put it with another song or something... anyone know how i could do this? i tried using a low-pass filter, but it doesnt really cut everything above the freq. off... or i can still hear other parts of the song... i dunno im still messin around just thought it would be pretty neat if anyone knows?

I just tried that using Adobe Audition and I was able to do it with a graphic equalizer. I just made the range 120db, left everything up to ~60hz at 0db, everything else above that went down to -60db. Might want to try that if your program will let you and of course, set your cut off accordingly.

yeah i've tried that on Virtual DJ and its hard... the equalizer/LPF is hard to use and doesnt completely work the way i want it to.

where do i get these song editing programs and are they free? I want to be able to chop and screw my music and add stuff and bass lines and so on.

Sorry for the thread jack

well i got it out a little better if i do the LPF twice, and then do a bass boost filter... still not good enough yet...

and the program i use is audicity cause it runs on mac... just search for it its free

works good for slowing songs down too i love slowing down my own music

cubase, audition, maybe a little Acid, soundforge. I THOUGHT there was an app that could sample a track and make midi...kinda like frooty loops? I forget.
