ive never tried it so i dont know it works
It’s all based on the Center Pan Remover tool. It’s about 2/3 of the way down this pile.

I think it’s a Nyquist Plugin but you may also need the VST Enabler tool:

You need that to get some of the other plugs to work. I don’t remember if Center Pan Remover is one of those.
The tool only works under some very strict conditions. The show must be in stereo. The vocal must be in the exact middle of the left-right sound field. There has to be no echo or effects on the vocal and you need to know that anything else in the middle (like drums) will go, too. Everything in the center will go which is why it’s call the Center Pan Remover tool.
You will end up with a mono track, hopefully, without the lead vocal.
