well, to single out an instrument is a hard task. in most cases you
don't get a clean sample, but you can hide some of it in the final mix
(but the price for that is that the mix could sound more "muddy"). i've
heard that there's a program for the mac, which breaks the song apart.
haven't tried it, because mac is not my platform.
