Hey hey,
it's easier to describe the problem I think.
I hae two pieces, one the song with vocals, the other the exact same song, but
only the instrumental. Now I'd love to isolate the voice by alligning them and
mixing them with one having inverted phase. Since I can't see, and apparently
often instrumentals don't start at exactly the same time, I need a way to
synchronise those tracks. time shifting by hand is very tedious and hasn't yet
yielded a perfect result. There are other issues, which can cause "confusion",
so I'd like to get this one out of the way.
Does anyone know of a way to do it from the commandline? Sometimes alligning
the beginnen of a piece (the onset of sound) might do, but sometimes it's a
little more complicated. Anything from Sox to Csound will do. :)
I appreciate any hint in the right direction! Thank you!

Hi,
Admittedly a bit of a strange answer, but if you have the Kdenlive video
editor installed recent versions (0.9.X) have a handy feature to
automagically align audio tracks from different camcorders that have
recorded the same content.. So in your case you could try importing the 2
audio files to 2 Audio timeline tracks in Kdenlive then set one as the
audio reference and then align the other to the reference... Then you can
export them from Kdenlive as Audio only..
Might be worth a try if you already have it, in my experience with
aligning audio feeds from multiple camcorders the audio alignment feature
in Kdenlive works flawlessly...
Good luck! Glen

It's been a long time, since anyone near me worked with Kdenlive, but I suppose, that
it is still purely graphical, which would be a down right killer there, no sight and my
system is too old and probably slow to install the newest Orca, which _MIGHT_! be able to
work with Kdenlive. To be frank, I haven't really used the screenreader for the GUI
much at all. Commandline is mostly much easier to maintain and faster to work with for me.
:( Still an interesting and generally feasable sounding idea!

My sincere apologies for not reading your original post more thoroughly. I
missed the reference to sight being an issue when I responded.

sorry f, meant to send to list:
you could assign a midi controller (knob, fader, etc) to a delay time
parameter.
maybe something like this in ecasound(except with delay):
http://ecasound.seul.org/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html#midi-io
you may be able to specify the parameter range and possibly assign 2
controllers (
for coarse/fine) to the delay time parameter so you could "shuttle" the
delay time in real time by ear. i've done something like this before
except with eq filters but its been while. i'll see if i can find what
i did.

Hey hey Tweed,
oh dear! Thank you very much! I should have thought of that. I've done something
similar more than often enough in Nama. That comes from trying to be too clever. :(

Hi Ffanci,
glad to help! it made me find my scripts and .ecs files (for the
example I gave) which was long overdue so thank you!
@ gmaq: didn't know kdenlive had that function. pretty cool!
