Syfo-Dyas, you must choose. Follow njvc and spend months learning about technology, tricks, & illusion, or follow me into the black void where anything is possible with a simple thought and click of a button.
I can teach the arcane secrets of our fanediting order, Syfo-Dyas, but first you must demonstrate your devotion to the order by meditating in a sensory depravation chamber for 48 hours and then egging George Lucas's mailbox. You must also pray to Tv's Frink thrice daily, or I fear there will be nothing any of us can do for you. No force of nature can withstand his wrath.
(Now I really need to re-watch The Prestige.)

lpd said:Hi Jetset.
You will find that most movies dont have perfectly separate speech / effects/ music channels especially if its an older movie that may have been converted to surround sound from stereo.
lpd said:There are programs that claim to be able to do that but I dont think theres any that can do it properly. Your best bet is while editing trying to isolate the speech word for word and filling in the music behind, yes its a pain in the arse!
TomH1138 said:I don't know if this helps at all or not, JetSetWilly, but here's a conversation that I had with Reave about trying to separate the music from the dialogue on the 1986 movie Labyrinth:

I haven't actually tried Besweet myself yet, in part because I've had other technical difficulties with Labyrinth that have led to my setting it aside for the time being.
I'm sure that Reaves' advice is sound - I just don't know if it applies in your situation. It's probably worth giving a try, though.
Hope this helps!
Uncanny Antman said:Wait...you found a version of Robocop 2 that had discreet dialogue with no music bleed at all? What country is it from? All the versions I've tried still had music bleeding through all the channels.
Uncanny Antman said:Dang. Oh well, no worse off than we were before.
TV's Frink said:The Room's center channel is almost all dialogue only.
Uncanny Antman said:It's not ineptitude. There are actually very, very few films that are mixed in a way that means they can be pulled apart cleanly. It's always a precious little fan editing gift when you happen upon one.
tranzor said:Curious, is it the same sound mix on the MGM blu ray version?
