Hola amigos. Right now im stuck with the very hard task of removing lyrics from a song, only problem being, I have no idea where to start. Ive downloaded some freeware tools, but so far no luck. Im thinkng of a program that I could delete the frequency the person sings on, but, it doenst seem that would be very efficient. Any help is much apriciated. Thank you.

Well, that is the solution. There is no good way to do things, unless you have an area in the song with the voice singing ONLY. Then, it's possible to use that segment of audio to phase out the part with the backing track playing. But, that's rather advanced stuff, and it sounds pretty bad when you do it.

If you have an audio editor, you could cross-cancel the frequencies on the left and right channels (assuming its stereo), as vocals are usually the same frequency on both sides, whereas instruments would be different (unless its orchestral stuff, anything besides rock, for example, Creed cancels out almost perfectly, whereas TSO wouldn't stand a chance). Theres also about a 90% chance that theres a filter on the program that's called "vocal cut" or something like that, which does the same thing. Save as whatever you want. This will cut the vocals, but it's completely lacking bass (because bass tones are frequent enough that they could be coming from more than one instrument). To fix this, make a new copy of the original song, try to cut everything out except the bass, and merge the two files together. If you're lucky, you have yourself a song sans vox.
