ABSTRACT:
The teachings described herein are generally directed to a system for learning an isolated instrument audio track within a prerecorded and original, multi-track recording. The system can include a processor, and a database to store audio data for processing by a user, a transformation module, an emulation recording module, and an integration engine. The audio data for processing can include (i) a multi-track digital audio file of an original, multi-track work having an isolated instrument audio track and an emulation audio track, the isolated instrument being clearly isolatable from the emulation audio track by the user using a variable gain volume control; (ii) a manually created and variable, audible timing reference track designed for the user for the preselected and prerecorded piece of music, and, (iii) an emulated instrument audio track created by the user while following the tempo of the manually created and variable, audible timing reference track.
