(_ "Vocal Remover requires a stereo track. It works best with
lossless files like WAV or AIFF, rather than MP3 or
other compressed formats. It only removes vocals or other
audio that is panned to center (sounds equally loud in left
and right). Vocals may be mixed this way. Inverting one
channel then panning both to center cancels out any audio
which was originally center-panned, making it inaudible.
This can remove some parts of the audio you may want to
keep, such as drums, which are also often mixed to center.
If the vocals and other centered parts differ in pitch,
this can be solved by removing only selected frequencies.~%
Vocal Remover thus has three choices of removal method.
'Simple' inverts the entire frequency spectrum of one
channel. This may remove too much music if other parts of
the audio are centered as well as the vocals. In that case,
try the other choices. If the vocals are at a different
pitch than the other audio (such as a high female voice),
try 'Remove frequency band'. This only removes frequencies
between a lower and upper limit which you can enter in the
'Frequency band...' boxes. Experiment by entering what
sounds like the most significant frequency range of the
original vocals. If the other choices remove too much
audio in a particular frequency range (such as low drums
or bass), try 'Retain frequency band'. This only removes
frequencies outside the limits, retaining the others."))))
