180587 2003-10-05 05:20:00 The boss has a thing from www.analogx.com which is a vocal remover and that does a reasonable job of it, however when the chorus comes along some bits do stay. It works by eliminating the tracks on which vocals are recorded onto or something like that.. (I should pay more attention when he talks about this stuff :p)
I'll try and get him to give a more detailed post...

180588 2003-10-05 06:02:00 If you have the original master tapes, then the vocals will be on separate tracks and easily removed (using the right hardware to playback). If that was the case, you wouldn't be asking I suspect.

However, if you are talking about an electronic copy (.wav or .mp3 as an example) then its all just lumped in on 2 tracks, Left and Right.
There is no "vocal track".
There is no "backing track".

If the vocals are equally split on L+R, then its possible to electronically null out, but all music in the same frequency range and also equally split will go as well.
You will be left with only those sounds in the Left channel that are not present in the Right, and only those sounds in the Right channel that are not present in the Left.
It would sound very "thin".

180589 2003-10-05 07:23:00 IMHO artists should release a normal copy of the song and an instrumental version. PoWa (203)
180590 2003-10-05 08:56:00 If u mix both the left and right channels a few times, then most of the Vocals should be removed, but the CHorus will remain, why? I dont know really, but this only works if the rite and left channel are split equally, ie with the same data on both sides and same volum, pitch etc. vk_dre (195)
180591 2003-10-05 09:24:00 Listen to the music and you will see why the chorus stays .
Its often biased to one side, its not equally split .

Straight mixing will achieve nothing unless the phase shift is reversed 180 degrees for one channel .
A "mix" will only produce a mono copy of the original, removing all chance of separation .
