If you have ever sang karaoke then you are surely wondering about getting a karaoke version of the songs. There is karaoke, which uses midi-format music, and there is with original music, the so-called "backing tracks". "Minus" is a song from which vocals are cut. Do "minus" either at home or in the studio. The studio version of the "backing track" consists in muffling the vocal sound to the minimum volume. With the creation of such a track at home, things are different.

Instructions
Step 1
You will also need the Center Channel Extractor plugin. In the latest versions of this program, the plugin is in the installation file. It is worth noting that most of the songs that you want to turn into backing tracks may not be of the highest quality. This is due to the use of various effects by sound engineers when recording vocals. In the studio, you can tweak the vocals to fit in with the music.
Step 2
Open the program, drag any file into its window, or click the File menu, then Open. In the window that opens, select the file and click the "Open" button. After loading the song, click the Effect menu, select Stereo Imagey, then Center Channel Extractor. The plugin window will appear in front of you. In this window, you need to configure the actions of the plugin.
Step 3
Extract Audio From - here you need to specify the extraction parameter. Vocals can come from the center, left or right speaker, subwoofer. You can also choose your own option.
Frequency Range - here you can specify the range of frequencies reproduced by the vocalist on the recording. If you don't understand this, you can set the value to Male or Female - male or female voice. To choose your value, select Custom. Specify the start and end frequencies.
Step 4
Center Channel Level is a slider that controls the vocal volume level. This value is set in decibels, the recommended value is from -40 dB to -50 dB.
Step 5
Changing these settings allows you to get a good "backing track". To get the best result, you need to change the settings and check the result, because every song is different. If you don’t feel like messing around with perfect tuning, use the Vocal Removal option. Click the Favorites menu, select Vocal Remove.
