Found this ..

Typically, the vocal track is dead-centre in the stereo mix. If you invert one of the stereo channels and then create a mono signal (i.e., create left minus right or right minus left), often the vocal will disappear. This is how a lot of karaoke machines work.

(It's also why you have to be careful when creating stereo soundtracks that may be heard on mono equipment - if the left and right are out of phase, often the dialog (vocal) disappears).

So, anyway, if you have stereo source material, you need to:

1. Invert one of the channels
2. Add the two channels together to create an out-of-phase mono signal

If the vocal has any chorus effects (for example), these may still be heard but most of the vocal will disappear.

you can also do it through frequency of sound - you just pull out the freq. of the artists voice. Not sure how, but I've done it before.

get a mixer program, like audacity....I use it for my mobile recording studio....the free one won't do it, but as far as I know the pay version will....basically you have to import the song into a mixer that can pull out the different channels...then you can pull words, riffs, drums, whatever. Also, get a mac computer if you are wanting to do this type of stuff...

This will not work, as the voice is in the same frequencies as many other instruments. You have to do it by phase.
