1. A method for a user to view a video that is synchronized to a prerecorded variable tempo music, the method comprising:
- obtaining audio files includinga multi-track digital audio file of a preselected piece of music having a plurality of audio tracks that include an isolated instrument audio track containing only audio from the isolated instrument, and an emulation audio track consisting of the multi-track digital audio file having the isolated instrument audio track removed; and
,a variable timing reference track designed and provided for a user for the preselected piece of music, wherein the preselected piece of music was prerecorded, and the designing of the variable timing reference track includes creating a tempo map having variable tempos, rhythms, and beats using notes from the preselected piece of music;
transforming the multi-track digital audio file to include a variable gain ratio of (i) the isolated instrument audio track to (ii) an emulation audio track, wherein the emulation audio track represents a subtraction of the isolated instrument audio track from the plurality of audio tracks, and the gain ratio is selected by the user;
emulating the isolated instrument audio track with a preselected musical instrument under a guidance of the variable timing reference track; and
,viewing a digital video file that is synchronized to the variations in the musical tempo using the variable timing reference track.

Abstract
The teachings described herein are generally directed to a system, method, and apparatus for separating and mixing tracks within music. The system can have a video that is synchronized with the variations in the musical tempo through a variable timing reference track designed and provided for a user of the preselected piece of music that was prerecorded, wherein the designing of the variable timing reference track includes creating a tempo map having variable tempos, rhythms, and beats using notes from the preselected piece of music.

13. A method of providing users with an opportunity to learn music while viewing a video that is synchronized to a prerecorded variable tempo music synchronized with variations in a musical tempo, comprising:
-
making custom audio files accessible to a user, the audio files including a multi-track digital audio file of a preselected piece of music having a plurality of audio tracks that include an isolated instrument audio track containing only audio from the isolated instrument, and an emulation audio track consisting of the multi-track digital audio file having the isolated instrument audio track removed; and
,a digital video file that is synchronized with the variations in the musical tempo; a variable timing reference track designed and provided for a user for the preselected piece of music, wherein the preselected piece of music was prerecorded, and the designing of the variable timing reference track includes creating a tempo map having variable tempos, rhythms, and beats using notes from the preselected piece of music; and
,making a system accessible to the user, the system operable to allow the user to transform the multi-track digital audio file to include a variable gain ratio of (i) the isolated instrument audio track to (ii) an emulation audio track, wherein the emulation audio track represents a subtraction of the isolated instrument audio track from the plurality of audio tracks, and the gain ratio is selected by the user; and
,emulate the isolated instrument audio track with a preselected musical instrument under a guidance of the variable timing reference track; wherein, the providing, transforming, and emulating provides the user with the opportunity to learn the variable tempos, rhythms, and beats of the isolated instrument audio track. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
