You can do this with the DSP effects in dbpoweramp music converter - you will need the powerpack.

I downloaded the dppoweramp music converter and also the powerpack. Now ive tried to figure this out on my own but all i can do so far is make the song of a better quality or less. What code or codec or whatever to I look for to remove vocal? If its the DSP effect, where and how would I find that in this program? I appreciate your help so far. Ty.

1) Open DMC via the dmc audio output on the desktop.
2) Select the track (s) you want. If no CD tracks show check the Drive settings under options.
3) Under the Rip menu select Rip With Options (Right Click)
4) On the dialog box that appears under converting file select wave (the DSP effects work best with wave)
5)select Power Pack DSP on the same dialog box
6) Under available DSP effects scroll down and double click on Voice Removal (Karokee)
7) Check Clear Active DSP effects after conversion (unless you want to remove more vocals)
8) Press OK
9) Then Press Convert

Hi again lol. I did what you said tomb, but theres still vocal. Its alot lower and the background sounds of intruments are more noticable but still vocal involved. Is that normal? or should the vocals be taken out completely?

The only other way to remove a vocal is to use a wave editor and remove it manually I suppose. Bit too hard for me!

Use a fresh ripped wav file where possible. You will end up with some echo in most cases. There is some good reading here:

If you run a file through a vocal remover a second time, you may end up with no audio at all.

But you may ask me "Then how do people remix songs?"
Well, this is done with permission of the artist and his/her/their record label and the person making the remix is allowed access to copies of the master tapes for each element of the song from the studio.
