I KNOW I will be visiting this site almost constantly and
hope you all will be patient with my questions. Here's the
first one, which is why I bought SF 5.0: I want to be able
to separate old 78's into individual tracks such as VOICE,
TRUMPET, DRUMS, ETC. Is it possible with SF 5. or with
other features of SF? And the last for today: can I
separate into individual tracks my own MP3 or Real Audio
songs so I can edit each track further than what is now
there? Thanks

Unfortunately this is not possible with any software
package on the market today. The technology to do this
effectively does not exist.

The only way you could possibly do this is to acquire the
original multitrack master tape (no way, Jose!). Each
voice, instrument, whatever that was originally recorded in
the studio is recorded on individual tracks (channels).
The tape we're talking about most likely is 2" wide. The
equipment to play this back is high dollar. You would need
a mixing console that can handle the number of tracks on
the tape. More big bucks.

In short, its impossible.
