Is there currently a way to isolate a single instrument/sound from a bunch of sounds? I'm not talking about using specific software which isolates tracks. Say you've lost all the individual tracks to something, and it was just the 1 wave.

Re: Decomposing
This is critical thinking?
Anyway, yeah there's a way I believe, but it requires a precise sample of what you want removed from the track.

Re: Decomposing
You're going to have to expand on what you mean before I can really answer this question.
You can figure out exactly what frequencies are present in a signal pretty easily. It's called a Fourier Transform (I'm guess that's why you titled this thread decomposing).
As far as removing a sound due to an instrument and not impacting the rest of the music. That would be complicated but I'm sure there's a way to do it. Someone probably already wrote software to do it but it's probably not freeware.

Re: Decomposing
I thought Fourier analysis never got nitty gritty enough to replicate timbre very well at all. Doesn't granular synthesis do that? Furthermore, you're not isolating any 1 sound, you're just breaking the thing down into sine waves, right?
How can we discriminate timbres in a song by examining the wave such that it matches the discriminating timbres we hear as different instruments?Comment
