I'm using Mixcraft for a long time. I started with version 3 and now I'm using version 9 Pro Studio. Upmixing old mono recordings to stereo is my hobby and as a example you can see and listen to a stereo version of Ben E King - Perfidia on YouTube : https://youtu.be/N5OEZVpDZF4
For the unmixing of the original file I'm using Steinberg's Spectralayer Pro 7. Then load all the tracks in Mixcraft and remix it to stereo.

Re: Making stereo versions of mono records
Cool. I had to go to the mono version to hear the difference. Nice job. I wonder how Spectralayer does that. Do you think that's how some are getting these isolated tracks you hear on Youtube?
Re: Making stereo versions of mono records
There are several programs that do the same job and yes, that's how it's done. Most programs can separate bass, drums, piano and vocals. What is left is a separate track. By hand/visual its possible to separate more instruments or sounds. But that takes a lot of time.
Here is another example from me, Carole King - It might as well rain until September. It was originally a demo so the sound quality is not that good but the result in stereo did surprise me.
