I am trying to make an instrumental and it won't work. I tried The vocal remover that won't work and i've tried inverting one track that didn't work either. Does it work for mp3s? Please help!!!

I removed your other post. You're stuck in the New User system of the forum which we use to help guard against spam. You're not selling drugs are you?

The Vocal Remover most of the time doesn't work right. The singer has to be in the exact middle of a non-MP3, full stereo show and have no stereo effects added in post production.

That kills some 80% of the songs that people try to convert to "karaoke." That invert thing that's posted on the internet can be used if you wish, but that's the long way around Vocal Remover which has all that bundled into one tool. We got tired of inverting manually.

Lots of old music is in mono and will never work right. The tools work by "knowing" what's in the middle of a stereo show left to right. Frequently, when you do get it to work right, the drums and bass go, too, since they're in the middle.

Apply the Vocal Remover and segment three, the mono segment, will vanish if everything is working.

I missed one. After you get done, the show will be in mono, not stereo.
