Abstract:
A method for selectively muting a portion of a digital audio file has a user account that is associated to a PC device and is managed by a remote server. The system for executing the method has a set of playback modulation processes that enable the user to control how an audio file is played. The method begins by inputting the audio file into a splitter process in order to identify a set of distinct audio tracks. The method then identifies every word found in the audio file and synchronizes a textual transcript of the words with a timeline of the song. The user is then prompted to mute a desired track from the set of distinct audio tracks. Additionally, the user can select a desired process to further manipulate one or more distinct tracks from the set of distinct audio tracks.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for selectively muting a portion of a digital audio file, the method comprising the steps of:\n (A) providing at least one user account managed by at least one remote server, wherein the user account is associated with a corresponding personal computing (PC) device; (B) providing a plurality of playback modulation processes managed by the remote server; (C) receiving an audio file with the remote server; (D) inputting the audio file into an audio-splitting process with the remote server, in order to generate at least one vocal track, at least one instrumental track, and a synchronized timeline; (E) parsing the vocal track into a plurality of distinct words with the remote server, wherein each distinct word is associated to a timestamp; (F) arranging the timestamps for each of the plurality of distinct words in chronological order along the synchronized timeline with the remote server, in order to generate a synchronized vocal track; (G) merging the synchronized vocal track and the instrumental track into an audio instruction file with the remote server; (H) prompting to select a desired process from the plurality of playback modulation processes with the PC device; (I) outputting the audio instruction file with the PC device, in accordance to the desired process;
