Not in Audacity.
Vocal Removal is a dead simple tool. Anything appearing exactly identical in left and right is cancelled. Usually that’s the voice, but also can be bass and drums.
Stereo vocal effects are different in left and right. So they stay behind.
Vocal Removal fails way more often than people think.

I think the vocal reduction works fairly good for this song. The reverb stays at about -40 dB.
That’s enough to overdub the audio with the own voice–if that’s the goal.

Firstly, thank you for a great application.
As an amateur guitarist I often find it necessary to transcribe lyrics from recorded music. However, it is sometimes difficult to make out the vocal lyrics due to the volume of the music.
Is there an “effect” that mutes the music while isolating and retaining the vocals , sort of like a “reverse karaoke” effect?
