I've done a bit with Fruity Loops, got a bit of a psy track I've been working on and haven't touched for a while. I tell you, all those soft synths and effects are murder on CPU time...

I think remixing either requires access to the master, sampling a solo part like a drum break, or isolating stereo channels.

I'm not an electrofunk afoniciado (just heard about it) and I think what you described is what that is. Apparently there's some sort of recent revival of it.
