The only true way to quote unquote remove vocals is if one has masters of a
track, and most if not all aren't lucky enough to own those.

Subject: Re: removing vocals from a song revisited
problem with any device that, as they say "removes vocals," has, and
will always have variable results. If the vocal was on one channel
the stereo field with nothing else at all, and, if there is no reverb in
the other channel from the singer / singers, you can easily remove it.
If, though as in almost all situations, the voice is in the center,
results will be variable since the only way to do it is to change the
phase of the two channels, right and left, by 180 degrees so when
combined, the center channel is, for all intents and purposes, cancelled.
However, every recording session is different, maybe the engineers
decided to make the center channel have out of phase reverb in the other
two channels which means you will hear a reverberated recording of
the residuals signal in the mix. And, then, what about the other
instruments in the center channel like bass, drums, other singers,
guitars, piano, etc.
they will disappear just like the vocals.
Results vary from pretty good to not worth the effort or expense.
