seperating and cleaning up audio from video?

[Munxcub]

i have a video of a band playing live. they arent playing the right tempo to just plug in a previously recorded version of the song. is there a way to take the audio from the camera, seperate it so that i can have even a little control over each instrument. (just picking certain frequencies, or something?) is this possible and if so, how would i go about doing this?

Thanks

Edit the video to fit your bands original recording. keep the clips short and cut in crowd sequences or random arty s*** when they go out of sync. Probably more rewarding than trying to fix bolluxed audio from a camcorder.

hey... that could work. i never thought of that. i'll have to go shoot some stuff because their video doesn't have any of that already on it to use... thanks again

If you have iMovie or Final Cut Pro and a way to import the video.......you can extract the audio tracks. Import those into PT and "fix" the audio. Get the free plug-in named BandPass Free from GRM: http://www.grmtools.org/BandPassFree/
It will allow you to filter/enhance whatever frequency range or narrow slits of the spectrum that you wish.

i extracted the audio with iMovie, but wasnt sure how to clean it up... i'll try that plug-in...

thanks
