use... how do you do it ??

Notepad.exe, and sometimes Photoshop filters if I'm not
feeling very creative.

Separate the various instruments?

You need the instrumental and acapella versions of the track
for a quality remix, as that is how it works when people
want a remix, then send the diffent parts of the song to the
remixer, usually in loop format with the different parts
isolated (ie just the drum line) and work from that, but
there are phase cancellation techniques that can be used to
separate the vocals if you have just the intstrumental
version of the track and cant find the accapella. Even if
you dont have the acapella or intrumental, you can find some
parts of a popular song, like a vocal solo or drum solo, or
a part that is isolated for a while by its self and recycle
those parts, and make a fan remix that way... while I am
talking about Recycle....

Mickey Mouse audio tip for the day! :

A nice way to do a remix is with the programs Recycle and
Reason.

Open up Recycle. Import the drums, melody line, vocals (if
there are any), and get really intricate with penciling in
the drums hit slices, and melody line note slices with the
pencil tool. Do it by hand because the auto sensitivity bar
which sets the slice pats ala a mathmatical algorithem, and
although really well coded it can be sloppy about setting
the slice marks sometimes, so maximize the audio image and
be really intracate and get it all nicly sliced up, set the
bar length (if you dont know how many bars the part is, just
guess because it wont really matter that much when your
doing a remix, and you can also re program it in Reason via
the Dr. Rex loop player, to how ever way you want), then
export the rex files.

Open up reason, create a mixer, and two Dr. Rex's. One for
the drums, one for the synth line and one for whatever else
you recycled. And viola, import your newly made recycle
files.... drums and melody and whatever else part you
recycled and exported to a rex file, and there you have it
all ready to go, sliced efficiantly and able to time
streatch to whatever bpm you desire.

Have fun

:^)

Naaa, you have to shell some cash out for it, but I'd
imagine you could find it by other means using the
internet *cough*

But if you want to buy it like I did go to the
Propellerheads site, and you can buy it from them in the
prop shop section. Yay!

More people should do dsp/glitch/mash up remix's of songs,
the world would be a happier place I think.
