You can! But not all! For example reverbed and delayed etc vocal effects cant remove!

2) YoGen Vocal Remover v2.0.9

Well, technically you can. However, you'd be removing any sounds within the same frequency range as well.

Looks pretty dodgy to me. Designed for Kareoke.... wow, must be hi-end.

Not true! It's not about frequency analize, but vocals phase and paning analize! That is why cant remove wet effects!

Sure, whatever you say.

If any such technology was anything close to perfect, there'd be a capellas of pretty much every vocal track in history floating around the net in good quality.

If you want to try to remove vocals, then attempt to do so by careful reconstruction of the track.

curious.. if you knew about those 2 programs than how come you asked how to do it in the first place?

Vocal removers work by singling out the frequencies of the vocal.. the reason the program can do this is becuase vocals are very often the only part of a song (except for the kick) that is panned right in the center..

it then cancels out or isolates those frequencies.. at the same time you will also remove all the other instruments in that frequency range..

perfect isolation of the vocal alone in a full waveform is impossible..

a-capellas are either gotten straight from the producer.. or off of the vinyl if it is included..
