I have two ac3 audio streams. One is 'voices+noise', the other is

'noise' -- no voices. I want

mix
'voices' into a latter,
clipped version, call it 'sounds'. I could do it with Audacity, but
I'd
like to do it with FFmpeg,
if possible.
I seek experienced guidance because I've never done this before and
I
want
to use the best audio
mixer 'filter' available -- knowing what's best comes only via
experience.
The full story:
"2001, A SPACE ODYSSEY" has a tedious, 2:58.136 prelude that is just
'noise', after which the MGM
Lion appears. When I made an mp4, I cut 'm2ts 0..178.136' out
leaving
just
'm2ts 178.136...', which
is now 'mp4 0...', which begins with the MGM Lion.
When I finished, I discovered that in their comments track, Keir
Dullea
and Gary Lockwood introduce
themselves during that 'noise'. Their 'voices' spans 'm2ts
0..34.034'.
I want to take 'm2ts 0..34.034', remove the 'noise' so that only
'voices'
is left, then mix 'voices'
into 'mp4 0..34.034', over the MGM Lion. There's a little more
clipping
and joining to be done but I
can handle that.
Need actual files.
I need exact files that Mark have.
Why, Paul? This isn't troubleshooting. It's how-to.
I need to do this:
1) 'voices' = mix('voices+noise',invert('noise')). 'voices+noise' is an
existing ac3. 'noise' is
another ac3 that is identical but without voices. 'amix' is a mixer, but
is it the best mixer? More
important: I don't know of any audio filter that will invert().
followed by this:
2) output = mix('audio','voices'). 'audio' is an existing ac3.
How many audio channels every file have?
It's stereo ac3, 192kbpx. Do you need the files to run experiments?
And why do you think noise is exactly same as in another file?
It's the same movie. One stream is 'dialog' (synthesized noise, actually), the other is commentary
that overlays the 'dialog'.
You can mix audios with amix filter.
And you can change weights to -1 in amix too with special option.
See documentation of amix filter
"Specify weight of each input audio stream as a sequence of numbers separated by a space. If fewer
weights are specified compared to number of inputs, the last weight is assigned to the remaining
inputs. Default weight for each input is 1."
No explanation of what audio 'weight' means. No indication whether signed or
unsigned.
So something like:
ffmpeg -i voice.ac3 -i noise.ac3 -lavfi "amix=weights=1 -1" out.wav
There we go. Thanks, Paul.
ffmpeg -i voices+noise.ac3 -i noise.ac3 -lavfi "amix=weights=1 -1" out.wav
But I really doubt you will accomplish anything with that.
Well, it's a start. We shall see, eh?
