you need to have the track as a midi file if you can find one. Then
you'd have to have a sequencer that recognizes the interface and parts
of the song that are different tracks or instruments if any.
www.dancingdots.com is where the software that will help you best. Not
cheap but powerful. It might be a bit much, I'm not sure what you're
looking for from a track specifically.

How would I go about getting a midi track of a particular song? That
sounds interesting?
Many thanks! Vicky

Subject: Re: Wanting to hear only one part?
Vicky. There is a thing in goldwave that will attempt to reduce
vocals, but it's hit or miss. It all depends on what sort of music it
is. If it was recorded, lets just say ballpark, 1964 or so, then they
were putting two track on one cannel and two on another with the
vocal, like the beatles early stuff. However, the issue really comes
in when you have a stereo recording where the channels match. Now
what you could do is, and please correct me gang if I've got this a
bit bassackward, but couldn't you theoretically invert the phase of
the channels? I know in the stereo section of goldwave's effects menu
there is a channel mixer. But as far as specifically isolating, say,
the flute part from the flute and harp concerto by mozart, that's not
too easy if the recording is mixed in both channels. If you happened
to have some old recording in the 4 track format described above,
then maybe you could digitize that and invert the phase of the channels.
So the really long short answer is, kinda sorta not really. It would
depend if you wanted complete and utter isolation of an instrumental
track.
But wait, there's more! If you've stuck it out with me thus far, then
I just thought of another idea. Could you get a midi track of the
song you want and then put it into a sequencer like sonar with the
caketalking scripts? Then yes you truly could hear the flute part to
the flute and harp concerto. It wouldn't be Galway or whomever
playing it, but it would be a start to learning the material.
So, those are my thoughts for whatever they are worth. If that helped
at all, then cool. If it just kind of put you to sleep, then, well
everyone needs some way to sleep. And if you stopped reading awhile
back then, you're not reading this anyway.
If you like i could look at the track in question and see what might
be able to be done with it, feel free to email me off list.

Hi folks, When I'm trying to pick out a song to play it on guitar or
harp, I would love to have the ability to hear just one of the
instruments in the recording on a CD.
Do you know if any of the audio packages such as Gold Wave or Total
Recorder can do this?
Many thanks for any thoughts on the matter! Vicky
