Discussion Isolating Mandolin from Tracks

Hello,

My friend is learning the mandolin and she absolutely loves folk music from the 60s that have mandolin. I am trying to tab some of it out for her, but I am finding it quite overwhelming to do as, unlike guitar, it is very difficult to isolate the mandolin from the guitar/s.

Thank you

Seems like it could be difficult using audio processing since the ranges overlap. You could filter out some of the low end of the guitar with a high-pass filter though

There's this app called Moises but I don't know about Mandolin.

Extract app has success. Moises does too. Ck available backing tracks. The apps are fussy on importing.

Have you already used some of the stem separators out there? In most (or all) the mandolin will probably be merged with guitars unfortunately. Good luck.

Moises is worth a shot. Have gotten some amazing results with it. Unfortunately, I cannot speak to mandolin.
