Software that separets to original tracks?

[dwightfry]

I was told of some professional software that allows you to take any sort of digital audio and seperate it into to it's original tracks. I've always thought, and have been taught, that this is impossible. At the very least I would assume the quality would be very poor. Does anyone know if this software exists? or what it's called?

if its a solid mp3 u can use mp3directcut (http://mpesch3.de1.cc/#mp3dc) with no loss of quality, if its wrapped u can use ALBW albumwrap extractor (http://www.infamus.com/albumwrap/extractor.html) and there are many others like audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)

do you mean split the instruments up or the file itself?

you can't split the instruments to seperate tracks if its an mp3 or wav.
