    You can get close with one, maybe two, pretty expensive (hundreds of dollars) tools, but it will not be 100%.

    Other than that there is no way to “deconstruct” a stereo track into it’s root components (the old tracks=channels in which it was originally recorded).

    The other option (but only for some current tracks) is to use Traktor as your DJ software and work with Stems. Places like Beatport sell Stems-tracks that you can remix on the fly.

    Madonna is also very adamant on keeping her vocal accapellas out of circulation. I remember when she released “Vogue”, many DJs went nuts for the “Ladies with an attitude…” opening on one of the remixes, as it was a clean vocal.

    I’ll agree it’s difficult to deconstruct a tune for remixing. I remember trying to take that famous bassline out of Los Ninos Del Parque” and still wasn’t happy with my results. I will suggest to look around online as you’ll see great tutorials on how to make some famous parts of popular tunes on your own. Here’s two I bookmarked:

    God I wanted that baseline from Los Ninos for ages and could not isolate it due to the bad vinyl I had…
