The whole notion of removing “distractions” is the path Adobe has been taking with Photoshop and Lightroom - select an area or object and click to essentially remove the object and recreate what was missing. For example, with their latest updates coming , move distractions like “wires and cables” or “people”. As an aside, the Soviets have used this technique many times in pictures that has included enemies of the state.
This reminds me of something I've wondered about for decades: on recordings by, say, Caruso, we know what the orchestras should sound like with full audio range, so would it be possible to calculate what's missing, add that to the orchestra and the equivalent sounds to his singing. In other words, if the band is playing A, B, C, E, F, H, and J, and we know D, G, and I should be there (and are missing from the vocal), can we plug those sounds in electronically and actually hear what Caruso or Billy Murray or The Peerless Quartet actually sounded like live?

RCA produced one or two recordings with a modern orchestra and Caruso’s vocal recordings, ca. 2000 or thereabouts. Actually it was Caruso 2000.
I remember those, but I'm wondering if it's possible to add the dynamics that the recording horn couldn't capture, but an electric mic could.
