Tonebytes has introduced GLS! - a free virtual effect plug-in for Windows which lets you remove vocals from songs.......
I have not had the chance to test it, as I am on a (superior) Mac, but it's worth a try if you're on Widows because it's free! It works on the principle of "central channel subtraction" where singer's voice is usually located. Apparently, the plug-in is also able to preserve bass and drums, which are often located in the centre of the stereo space and may suffer along with the voice.
Tonebytes says: "Do not expect magic. GLS! will remove not only the voice: some other musical instruments or sounds may also disappear or become corrupt, and the song loses stereo." Well, what did we expect, really!
Feel free to leave comments if you've tried it...
