Has anyone seen this yet?

I'm skeptical.

I've tested the play trial version, straight away threw a heavily textured rock track at it (Panic at the Disco! - But it's better if you do) and it's good, but not £80 good.

I was surprised at how well it seperated the individual instruments and knew what they were, however there is a glaringly obvious piano from the start and it didn't pick it up. As expected, there where still little percussive bits that came through in the vocal, and when it was thinned out to itself, it lost a bit of it's meat, but still quicker and easier than I expected, with better results to boot.

Also, the audio became glitchy because of the graphical intensity at points, which gave it a really toyish feeling. However, their website mentions version 2 will be released soon and that it will be catered more towards professionals.

I don't know of any program that separates as good as this tbh, but it's still not quite as "revolutionary" the BBC report made it out to be, and it's definitely a long shot from the days when it's integrated into Traktor's decks. (Which tbh, will be the day DJing is recognised as the one true religion, and the controllerists will be the vicars.)

Also, if you do know of any program that's as good or better than this, share the wealth because I've yet to find one.

I've got a license for it, but its PC only at the moment, so am gonna have to either dig out the old computer, or run it in some VMware.

I have Melodyne too, so will be interesting to see how their fare side by side.

Does melodyne actually remove instruments? I thought it was just pitch correction.
