Oh, I agree completely. However, as a computer geek I find the problem
fascinating. If such a device (be it software or hardware) could be made
to do this there would be miriad uses for it besides deconstructing a mix.
Pulling weak signals or voices out of radio transmissions or isolating a
single instrument for learning purposes are two possibilities off the top
of my head.
I'm all for playing the music yourself, but from a scientific perspective
it'd be great to figure out how to do this.
