Maybe you're sitting to much time behind your pc... ;) @Sebastian: I'm a guitarplayer and sometimes want to play a song of other musicians... Sometimes its hard to hear for example the exact guitarpart... Would be great if you can isolate that part and study it... But maybe that is asking for a whole different way of recording in a whole new filetype with a lot of Gb's....
