Removing Vocals

[blckout20]

Is there any way that I can remove vocals off of a track and if so what software do I need to do this and how would I go about doing it.

This question seems to come up frequently around here. Here are some older sets of responses that might help:

Good luck, seriously.

Give this a whirl:

Never used it before so don't know if it works or not (i'm thinking not).

It's pretty much impossible to do this. What you hear in a song is a mix down of 30 or so tracks, in a stereo file. The individual tracks (vocal, guitar, snare, whatever) are not kept in their individuality. To audio software, it just sees a two channel stereo file.

Some software messes with the EQ to remove vocal frequencies, but this is 50/50 at best. Good luck.
