Looking for composer/sound designer to recreate music intro

[jeremyp]

I have a couple soundtracks that start with an unwanted cymbal instrument. The cymbals bleed into the start of the music. I've tried to remove the cymbals with frequency editor, but was unsuccessful.

I've asked a question on this forum a while ago (https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/instruments-and-amps/329549-remove-single-sound-instrument-track.html#post5593114) and the response was that I should hire a composer. So here I am, looking for a composer / sound designer


This is the frequency spectrum (Imgur: The magic of the Internet) of one of the tracks that I need (https://d3auje5car4oak.cloudfront.net/v/1495/9485194_a-01.mp3). My cursor is placed at the beat start. Notice the very unique frequencies caused by the cymbal instrument, that cannot be edited by simply erasing them. Such edit produces suboptimal muffled sound and unless you have an exact match of the cymbals sound on its own, no post production technique can remove it.

I'd like to hire a composer / sound designer to recreate the first few seconds of the track (between 1 an 4 seconds per tracks) and combine it with the original. The newly produced track would be exactly the same as original, but it would have cymbals removed. It will start suddenly - the first sound is the main beat. This is an example of good intro https://sounds.pond5.com/positive-energy-corporate-music-069845648_prev.m4a. Notice that there is no gradual increasing of volume, it just starts.


These are the tracks that I'd like to have cymbals free:

In some of tracks, cymbals bleed is subtle, but still noticable.

If you have the tools and knowledge to recreate intros, please send me a private message. If you think you can do only some of the track intros on the list, we can make per track deal as well.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards, Mitt

I remember watching a video of someone removing a siren from a track.
I believe he did it with Izotope Ozone software.

one technique that might work is to make a track of the undesired instrument, invert its phase, and mix that in. In theory it should cancel the original. Pretty hard to get right though, 'specially if it's mic bleed that's the problem
