Looks too good to be true, especially at the price.
Anyone tried this?

I tried it once (the demo)
My son had a project last year, wanted some music for a presentation. Ended up taking the Beatles "Because"
and removing the vocals. The result was quite good, better than anything else we found at the time.

In addition to post #4, have a listen to the mp3 demo's on the product page.

Go for M.I.D.I (.mid) files or Karaoke (.kar)

most of karaoké software emulation won't cut it ,
you will still hear voice and will cut also everything mono in the center channel

vanbasco will use window's midi emulation system (windows default) you may have to search 3rd party emulation software fur better sounds .. what's your soundcard ??

I use Audacity, and it's free. Here's an example:

@budwzr, that sound suspiciously like NOT a before/after, but rather a vocal section and then a later non-vocal section. In fact, the non-vocal section seemed to have BETTER high frequency response than the vocal section - this would NEVER be true of a device that REMOVED elements.

Here's an example:

Absolute rubbish. No way was that done in Audacity.
The instrumental version seems to be just that - a genuine studio produced instrumental.

Audacity's vocal remove has always produced a mono output with dreadful quality.
Even using Adobe Audtion to produce a stereo track, the vocals are not 100% removed.

No, that is not the case.

I'm working on upgrading the technique to remove baby tantrums from piano solos. Previously thought to be impossible too.

Once this thread gets indexed into the search results, it should dispel the myth that vocals can be separated from music. The way I have done it is the ONLY possible way.

Then I'm sure you have no problems explaining just how you say it's done...

i ... it should dispel the myth that vocals can be separated from music. The way I have done it is the ONLY possible way.

The second clip is the karaoke version.

I didn't lie, that really IS the only way to do it. Hahaha

Concept: Use humor to finally get people to realize that vocals cannot be removed from music.

[Cornucopia]

I rest my case.

You would be hardpressed now-a-days to find music that was on separate channels than the vocals. Older music (pre-1980) was specifically recorded with music in the left ear and vocals in the right, which makes classic rock and such easy to remove the vocals. In the case of older music i would suggest "Sony Soundforge" to do the job your looking for. As for newer music, you can always just find the instrumentals online.
