I mean like, taking a stereo song, and breaking into it's source parts. Like to isolate different instruments, is there anyway to separate the stereo field? Sorta like the spectral pan display in Audition.

About as well as you can take a cake and break it into eggs, flour and sugar.
Whatever spectral display you're looking at is looking at a sum - Not the individual parts. Sure, you can break it into its mid & side components - But that's not going to isolate anything except the mid and side components.

Not really. It's kind of like taking a cake and trying to separate it into eggs, flour, sugur, butter, etc... Once it's mixed together it becomes something else.

Wow . . . simultaneous cake analogies . . . there's something in the water in the Windy City 
There are spectral analysis tools that can achieve some isolation of parts. It depends on how complicated the track is.

Maybe it could be done with Cakewalk.

So how do they remove voices for karaoke mixes? Or do they get hold of the original somehow and just silence the vocal track(s)...
Incidentally, I have a Boss RC-50 looping pedal and it has an aux input that you could use to feed in real music via an iPod or whatever - it has a "centre cancel" function (which I haven't tried) which purports to remove whatever's dead centre in the mix... the literature implies this will remove vocals... probably heaps of other stuff as well. Must try it out...

You can definitely get rid of some or maybe most of something panned dead center or something within a particular frequency range.
However, I'm sure that for the karaoke mixes, the label sells vocal-less versions of the songs or they sell rights for others to create their own karaoke mixes of said songs.

Sometimes the karaoke mixes are the real tracks with the vocal muted, but most of the time they are re-recorded music beds.

They did it on X Files once.

Hey it's gotta taste better than that Donner Pass Stew - that's stuff is horrible, I'm not sure what they put in it.
