Vocal removal:
Note that this does not work for all files - in particular it will often not work on mp3's

If the song is a mono recording, it will delete everything.

The way "Vocal removal" works is that it assumes that you have a stereo recording and that the vocals are positioned in the centre and that the other instruments are placed to the left and right in the stereo mix.

This assumption is often incorrect (in which case it doesn't work), but if this assumption s true, then the Vocal Remove effect will remove sounds that are positioned dead centre in the mix - hopefully that will be the vocal and not much else.

More detailed information is in the link that I've already posted.

Vocal Removal or "Center Pan Removal" isn't a simple key click. There is quite a list of restrictions and rules and undesirable outcomes associated with it. As above, the tool only removes sound in the exact center of a stereo show. Drums in the middle? Gone. Any other instruments in center stage, Gone. It's sometimes called Vocal Removal because the singer is usually in the middle and that's what everybody usually wants.

People sometimes add stereo special effects to a singer's voice during original song production to make them sound fuller and more pleasant. In that case, the singer will vanish leaving all the stereo echoes and special effects behind.

In all cases, the result after singer removal is a mono show.

Try the tools with this Left-Right test clip. It's pretty brief and has four sound field tests. Play it through straight once to know what's there. Then apply the filter. Only the third segment will be affected.

The tools almost never do what you want.
