In order to remix a track, you must (usually) possess the original 
unmixed elements. But how on earth do you get those? It would seem 
extremely difficult to obtain such material.

Any yet, purchase any CD bearing the title "Ultimate Trance Experience 
2007" or similar and roughly 80% of the tracks will be remixes of 
remixes of reworkings of remixes of older tracks. So clearly *somebody* 
knows how to get hold of this material...

Ask the owner of the original track?

  I assume that two choices:

1) You ask for the original tracks (and pay for the rights to use them
or whatever).

2) You simply replicate the original from scratch.

3) You take only instrumental parts of the original piece, some bars of 
lyrics, copy and paste, edit and loop and add stuff on your own tracks.

Well OK, let me put it this way... If *I* ask the owner of the original 
track for the unmixed elements, they're going to tell me to naff off. 
(Or, more likely, ignore me completely.) So what do all these other 
people have that I don't?

Starts with an M, ends with a Y.

4) You learn music and instruments, replay the track with friends and record it
yourself ...

You might like to try out averaging the L+R tracks and see what you get.  Or 
taking the difference.  Often it has the effect of doing some nice selective 
filtering...

  Aren't those two the same thing?
