I've temporarily used Melodyne for some time when reviewing it in a
magazine and I tend to speak with producers that need it on a daily
basis. I wouldn't say "separate audio parts can be separated", but
very well separate melodic parts in an ensemble. For a choir piece you
get a perfect separation and option to adjust each separate singer,
but with drums and other "not melodic" stuff aboard I don't know what
gives. Whether the recording is stereo or mono is no big deal, it is
the tonal separation that is in focus.
If I was save a recording like that I would try to first use EQ to
create different files of the recording where each part, to be tunes,
is maximally prominent. After that I would apply re-tuning to those
files and finally sum them to re-create the full piece (now tuning
corrected). With that technique I think you can be rather brutal on a
"vocal part file" in order to take out drums; simply use dynamic
automation to EQ out all frequencies of every drum hit (compensating
lost level by automating up the volume during the hit, to keep the
vocal at a good level). This will keep you busy to late december, then
you might take a shower and have a bite for Christmas and finish it up
the edits by maybe mid january... :-)
