If you have a multi-track recording with the vocals on their own track(s), then yes no problem. I suspect you have a single stereo track, in which case there is not much you can do. You can try fiddling with the Equalizer effect to see if you can bring them out a bit.

OK, good. I'm going to suggest using the 1.3.9 version (don't worry about the 'beta' status - on most machines it's actually more stable than the 'stable' version).

I think there's something fishy in step 3.
What patch are you trying to apply?
A patch can only be applied to Audacity source code, not to the compiled program.

Without going through a whole load of Q & A and trying things out - if Audacity 1.3.7 worked for you why not go back to it for now?
