How to remove the audience laughing from an MP3 file

[venk]

I have an mp3 file from a TV show that I would like to edit so that I can remove the laugh track. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

Not really. This question is asked often - mostly along the lines of isolating certain instruments, or removing the vocals from a song. There is no dedicated channel for the audience reactions, so all of the sound is combined into a single track, and there's no easy way to separate the components.

Ahh but they can do it on CSI, stupid TV always trying to act better then us.

They can also gain infinite resolution from crappy security camera footage by zooming in and refining details =P. But I guess they're not the only ones guilty of this hoax; I see it all the time in the movies, too.

I remember one episode they had a 4X6 photograph that was totally blurry you couldn't see anything, and then they "analyzed" the blurr in the computer and sharpened it to a perfect image of a reflection, to which they zoomed like 40X to read something on the wall.

Ridiculous

LOL, talk about art not only imitating, but affecting life, these shows (CSI, crossing jordan etc) are affecting the use of forensic science in real court rooms.

Thankfully, it appears to be a double edged sword:

How these shows help the prosecution: Juries believe everything forensic doctors/scientists say in court because of the tv shows.

How these shows help the defence: Juries think real forensic scientists are completely incompetent because they don't "perform" like on the TV shows. i.e. If that hot chic on crossing jordan can deduce from a mere bullet fragment that the killer is a left-handed albino midget who was sexually abused by his uncle at age 10, why can't you even figure the exact hour of death?
