Hey guys I usually dont have this problem but I received a song to mix with all tracks sounding decent but one of them has guitar and vocals bled half and half this is the main vocal track. Its unfortunately not an option to rerecord the track and I have been fighting with the damn thing for days, is there any pointers for separating guitar and vocals post recording. The rest of the tracks are perfect. The other problem is that all the meaty low end of the guitar is on the vocal track as well so I want to keep that. I have a few ideas, but I am asking for tips here if possible. been mixing alot outside of my genre lately...refreshing...frustrating ;) Thanks guys. b

don't think you can do anything about it

Noise gate? How hot is the guitar on the vocal track? Maybe double the track, keep one for vocal and one for your guitar low end. EQ accordingly (low pass for the guitar, highpass the other for vocal track) and do you best to blend them together. Hopefully they're from the same take so you don't have any weird mistakes or overlaps. Be careful of effects too.

You could also to create (an) extra track(s). Take the main vocal track and the track that contains the other vocals which bleed into it and invert the backing vocal track and route them both to the new track pre fader and put the channel levels down. If the backing vocal track is stereo, you have to make it mono (assuming the main vocal track is mono as well). If you now change the send level of the backing vocal track it should cancel out at a certain level. Now take the guitar track and route it to the new track as well, invert it and do the same. Maybe this helps (at least a bit) and hopefully you understand my babble at all. ;) -Data
