Removing vocals

Okay so I know you can drag and select a section of a song and generate silence in that gap, which is great for removing explicit language from the song. However, what if you wanted to cut out a section of vocals, but keep the instrumental going in the background? Is there a way to separate vocals from everything else and remove a section of JUST vocals, keeping everything else going?

Have a look here:

It’s not always easy and it won’t work for some vocals.

You can try the Vocal Reduction and Isolation effect if you like:

There’s no documentation yet but the basic functionality should be clear.
