The first search result for "remove content in brackets" already shows:

> [@Remove Parentesis & Square Brackets Content](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/remove-parentesis-square-brackets-content/58521/2):
>
> You could try an action of the type "Replace with Regular Expression" Search string: \s\*\(.\* Replace with: (leave empty) Works for text where the round brackets are the first brackets, just like your example

Adjusted for Convert Tag -\> Tag instead of an Action it would be  
`$regexp(%ARTIST%,'\s*\(.*',)`  
for the most easy variants of  
_Another Artist (with text to remove)_

As long as the OP does not provide the actual real content of the `ARTIST` fields, we can only guess what would match it. The same applies to some of the more advanced examples mentioned above.
