The cello in a song

The cello covers a wide range. It can sing a melody in its upper register, play a rich, sustained line in the middle, or sit low and support the harmony like a bass. You hear it in film and game scores, in indie and chamber pop, in rock bands that add a cellist, in folk records and in classical works. Cello hooks are a staple of dramatic and emotional tracks.

Who wants it on its own

• Cellists learning a part by ear, or checking a fingering and phrasing.
• Film composers and arrangers studying how a cello line supports the other strings.
• Sample makers who want a clean, bowed low-register phrase.
• Singers who want to perform with the other instruments but sing against the cello line or without it.

What it can be mixed up with

In the low register a cello can overlap with a double bass, a bass guitar and a deep male voice. If the Cello file seems to hold more bass than you expect, check it against the Double Bass Extractor, and for electric bass use the Bass Remover. Violas sit just above the cello; see the Viola Extractor. The Bowed Strings Extractor takes the whole section, and the Violin Extractor handles the top line.
