he means that the remix artist (whoever it was) did not get the multitracks of the original tune, so they could take isolated parts

 

(as would happen in a 'legit' remix commissioned by the record company)

 

instead they just lifted sections of the entire tune... i've done this myself to make bootleg/remix stuff, its not that hard, but it just depends greatly on the tune. some tracks are fucked and you cant really do anything with them... others give you nice moments (like the intro or whatever) where important elements (like a guitar riff) happen on their own (or just with some tiny hi hat you wouldnt notice), where u can cut and loop this section.

"does anybody know how to isolate the guitars and/or vocals from the drums and other elements?"

 

And apart the carefull editing as could be done on any good sound Editor like Wavelab or Soundforge as Soliptic describes above...

 

Your question is actually a VERY good one. It just happen that whatever solution comes out is has to go thru STRONG opposition from hardware makers and Music business and alike.

 

Imaging the kind of Piracy that could be derived, just by taking out any copyright method they had come out with...

 

As far as 1998 I read in a USA university Faculty of Music's Magazine an article about a software already completed, developed by a Swedish University, that claimed that it could separate any music layer and with very good results utilize either the isolated instrument/vocal or the rest.

Apparently they utilize the Fourier transformation laws to decompose the summ of waves that constitute the final envelope.

 

This is a INCREDIBLE SOLUTION for creative Djs or remixers to combine and really take in account and in the pallette all the musical colours that have been recorded to recreate a new..::anew

 

....anybody has a little hint???

I'll keep waiting
