I’ve done it before, though the results are not the best.

Basically what you need it’s the audio recording of the movie
Then you need the audio recording of the music during the recording *
Then you would use audacity to use both those to remove the dialogue
Typically this is done in the reverse order, to extract the dialogue from the cutscene, but I believe you can do it in this direction too
I forgot the exact process, but look up “isolating dialogue” or the inverse of that and “audacity”. There probably is a better paid for program, but unsure.
Regardless, since you’re trying to isolate the rest of the stuff from the dialogue, there may be an issue with SE, however it could be baked in to the rest of the sound itself?
This is as much as I can tell you. Maybe @dense karma or @silent remnant have further insights since they have more professional experience in audio work than me
dense karma
just ask your users to turn off the audio 
bronze ingot
Somehow I got isolated dialogue though I can’t remember how. I do remember being pissed off at the quality tho
dense karma
Easiest and cleanest to do if you have the dialogue seperate from the rest. If you had the OG recorded dialogue you can play it back at reverse polarity to remove it (assume audio wasn't too beaten by post-processing with the voiceline in it)
Yeah if the quality is booboo of the OG dialogue then an AI might be your best choice
bronze ingot
Ah yeah that’s the way you do it, I knew it was <something> polarity
From my highschool music tech class jeez
11 years ago, time flies
dense karma
I never attended highschool music classes 
Yes if there's not been any alterations to the in-game OST to make place for the dialogue then you can def extract the dialogue cleanly
Oh so they're not one audio file? Then it's become a million times easier
Just replace dialogue with silence if you want a 3IQ fix
Can you DM me these?
I own both games legally but I'm too lazy to extract them
receipt
zip them
Not just for file size but also so discord doesn't fucking compress the will to live out of them
bronze ingot
Yeah I’d send you the version I made but it would take a long time to find and I can’t remember what games it was and it’s probably shit and also unlabeled
Ah I remember, it was for DSR for my all Seath vid

I'll need to read up on bik, the wmv should be no issue other than my ffmpeg build not supporting ancient formats
What I'll do is extract the audio channels from the wmv, remove any vocs and stitch it back on
Hah terrible
Can you send me that too?
OH right the other zip
I'm dumb
dense karma
Still waiting for voice extractor to do its thing
Atleast for DS2
I took ffmpeg and just yoinked the audio channel, once it's done I just replace the OG audio channel with the voice-less version
I can maybe take a look at pam and bik this weekend
I'm sure getting the audio out isn't an issue, but I am not certain about getting it back in
dense karma
It came out sausaged (overly compressed) as fuck for some reason but lmk if this is good
not sure if the OG is also squashed didn't bother looking, will do so later
yeah the OG sounds a fair tad squashed too in some places
No its not good
Its missing this
hmm
They're both the same length as the video
See if playing them side-by-side works
Should still be sans the old woman moaning about my future of redbull cans and gamersmell
If not I'll try again this weekend
Does the audio sound correct or weirdly muffled
oh yeah but you're not supposed to see changes, you're supposed to hear them
neat I'll have a look at the others soon ™️

PAM is an authentication daemon for linux, I've used it quite a bit. the file format PAM fromsoft uses is completely unrelated.
dense karma
Not yet 
dense karma
Yeah sorry too backlogged with unexpected garbage to do this rn 😩

@dawn bolt can you get RAD tools and convert the big bik file to mp4? https://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm
I just tried but I'm not on windows and I am too lazy to write my own
no rush
nice
dense karma
Yes
@dawn bolt is it just me or did the mp4s get exported without any voice?
Hmmm if its just another audio channel we can just strip that instead
Since this def is not the original mix
Hmm there is just one audio stream on the mp4 though
Odd

``` smacked into one with different dialogue balanceI wonder if the biks just have a few channels and they're all slapped back into one after weird rebalance of voice dialogue
Guess I am cracking it open because if true we don't even need the AI for these
Oh yeah huh
Thats def more channels than expected let me isolate them and see what they are
dense karma
Dunno, spending my time in hospital liminal space limbo for routine checkup, will check tonight
silent remnant
OK back from hospital but stream time so <:smile:623824061805494332>
oh u stream?
dense karma
I have resurfaced
dense karma
I tried extracting it from the BIK on easy-mode yesterday evening but to no avail
Requires me to write my own parser to be able to do it on linux. Gonna just throw it at an AI
silent remnant
Give him awhile lol he likes to go back and forth on projects
I still laugh thinking about when you said it'll be easy and then sent that gif a few hours later
dense karma
I'm not really going back and forth on this but I have to prioritize a few things as far as modding goes 😭
You can probably do it yourself at this point though
Just take the audio I posted through one of the funny AIs
tulip vault
Curious.
