You should be able to remove the vocals in cool edit.

how would u go about doin it? ive asked a couple of ppl whos pretty good with the prog and said it cant be done

Okay, I don't really have cool edit, I was just assuming that since you can do it in Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/faq.php#a2) and Cool Edit's a lot better it would be possible in there as well. You can download Audacity and try their solution though.

um....i don't think this totally possible in post production...Most of those progs will just remove ranges. You may lose some "music" too. Props to Audacity if the program can do it.... but idk

Most "voice removal" stuff works by simply eliminating everything that's mixed in the center, where voices commonly are. Unfortunatly, voices aren't alone in the center usually, and you'll end up losing more stuff.

That's exactly right. My audigy 2 ZS came with three different modes of removing lyrics (one of which is identical to doing the "split and invert" trick in audacity) but all of them decrease the sound quality, and none of them actually get rid of all traces of the lyrics in any of the songs I've tested them on, unfortunately. However, it's the best I've ever heard of for removing lyrics, and it's better than nothing.
