[NEohioPAL] Equipment needed

[Drew]

Hi Elaine,

No such equipment exists.  True vocal removal is technologically 
impossible in most cases.  There are phase cancellation methods that can 
be used to remove /most/ of a vocal from a recording, but they're only 
really effective if the vocal is panned dead-center in the mix and has 
no reverb or other effects applied to it.  For most recordings, you end 
up with a mono version of the track where the original vocal is reduced 
but still fairly audible in the background.

Your best bet is to hit iTunes or some other service that sells karaoke 
tracks and look for a vocal-free backing track for whatever song you're 
looking for.
