I'm looking for a way to enhance the vocal percussion (i.e., beatboxing) of some acapella recordings--this is the one I'm working on at the moment. I realize I'm not going to be able to isolate it entirely, but anything I could do to make it sound more prominent will be helpful. It's only for my own learning (beatboxing, not sound engineering) so it doesn't have to be perfect. I am a complete novice with regards to sound design. I have GarageBand, but I'd be willing to purchase something else if it did the job and were reasonably priced.

I had a go with a transient shaper & multi-band compressor, but tbh the track is already finished, mastered, finalised & compressed for market; it doesn't leave you a lot of space to play with.
I pushed the transients 18 dB & all I got was... transients.
There's too much 'track' to really be able to isolate it.

Basically... if you want to practise beat-box, find beat-box tracks, not finished records ;) – Tetsujin Aug 21 '18 at 15:49

Thanks but I'm specifically trying to hear what this person is doing on this song. Not sure if the answer to "How do I do X" is "You should just do Y instead." – thumbtackthief Aug 21 '18 at 17:38

Then the answer becomes - use a transient shaper... not that it will really help much, but it will make the transients louder. idk if you can get hold of one cheap/free to play with, I use Waves plugins, which are not cheap. – Tetsujin Aug 21 '18 at 18:11
