I'm going to weigh in and say thanks for this tip --
I often work with archival tracks, and reversing the phase is the only trick we have to isolate the dialogue -- sometimes it works like magic, and other times it doesn't work at all.
As big a PITA as it is, I can't wait to try it again with this new tip -- thank you!

If you're going to try to cancel out with phase, a good idea (since it's dialog you're after) is to sum to mono both your mix and M&E first. Much easier to then flip one out of phase and sum it with the other to extract what's left which (if everything else is aligned) should leave just dialog.
Otherwise, iZotope RX has some nice and kind of magical processing that can split apart stems in music tracks, and it could possibly work well to do this.

I was asked by a producer who has old masters that have been digitized with stereo mix and M&E stems if there is a way to get just the sound bit dialogue clean. Of course the "AI" term was thrown in to the mix as part of the question. I don't have the file yet but was thinking about the old invert the phase, like noise cancelling headphones, to cancel the M&E audio during the sound bites. Anybody got any suggestions for voodoo audio tech to strip out just the dialogue from a full mix?John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@pacbell.net
