Most people want to start with one highly-compressed mixed song and perform instrument and vocal separation from that. Still, I want to see how he does it, because straight cancellation and wave managemen...

Isn't it true if you import and export the same sound standard as Audacity and then turn off dither in Preferences, that it causes little or no sound damage and doesn't add the dither signal?
