Do anybody know the theory, how the program removes vocal from the track?

Yarp, as Freak states, phase cancellation would do it but you would need to get hold of an accapella of the vocal first. Assuming one was available.

There are a few bits of software out there that claim to do this but they donīt do it particularly well.

i saw a video posted here of a tutorial where the guy would invert the instrumentals of a song, then line it up with the original track which would "cancel out" all the instrumentals, leaving just the vocals. is this true? or was that whole video a lie?

That's because it's not going to happen.

It's true, if the following are true:

1. You have the instrumental
2. The vocal version was not compressed after the vocal was added, i.e. the vocal version is simply an instrumental with the vocal added ontop
3. You can line the two up perfectly in an audio editor

1: may or may not be the case. If it isn't, give up now.
2: is very very rarely the case - nearly all tracks are given final mastering, which throws this out
3: you might be able to do, but it can be difficult.


So in short, the chances are very very slim.


The thread asked about REMOVING the vocal rather than obtaining it, in which case you'd use the acapella rather than the instrumental - the same still stands, you'd need to have access to the original acapella and the vocal version can't have been compressed after the vocal was added.
