Short Answer: You can't.
Long Answer: You can, but it might (probably) sound like . You also probably can't do it the way you're thinking you'd like to.
Your question is one of the most commonly asked questions by new DJ's - how that many people have wound up with decks on the assumption this was even a possibility with a simple mixer and two decks astounds me. |

| most of the remixes you hear, the producer got the original vocal files from the original artist. other than that, you could try to tweak the eq's to get the vocals of a song, but most likely it'll sound like garbage |

You speak as though you have to know it all about Djing before you even get your gear. I don't subscribe to that high and mighty attitude. |

if you can get the uncompressed instrumental of the track and the uncompressed vocal version and if they're otherwise exactly the same apart from the vocals you can extract them by inverting the waveform of the instrumental and layering them on top of each other on some sound editor program, like audacity.
but this really has nothing to do with djing though. |

no, but having a basic understanding of how audio works usually is a good start |

Asking if you can take out vocals isn't basic to most people. You have to remember who you're talking to in the forums. Most people outside of it likely wouldn't know that. |

I remember someone saying that this won't work with mp3s...
why not? Well as soon as you add the vocals some of the bits for the other part of the track will go. However how is this any different with uncompressed? In theory this shouldn't work |
