I never thought that isolating individual instruments in a sample would be possible but it looks like someone has cracked it.

All the information can be found on the above link. Takes a minute or two to get your head around it but it's well worth a read.

Wow, that is amazing. I don't know why I never thought of it. I remember reading how to make glitch photos, where you take a normal picture and import it raw into a text editor and add random text all over the place, then import it back into photoshop and it will be glitchy. I don't know why I never thought to apply the same idea to different filetypes like audio files. I used to always think that it was nearly impossible to do this type of thing, but I can see this totally working if you put the effort in and get a good feel for it.

Totally lost me when talking about sound, to bring up images and use of Photoshop?

This is amazing. Never though this would be possible, ever! Obviously will work better with certain instruments, like the synth lead that doesn't have a boat load of harmonic content!



It's a spectral image, showing the harmonic content etc. Imagine it's converting audio to a picture. You can then draw on the picture and convert it back and you'll hear your "drawn" modifications.
