No, I'm not talking about bumping off the lead singer in your band. What I mean by the title 'Eliminating the Lead Vocal' is removing the main vocal part from a pre-recorded song. Someone recently asked me if this was possible, and I told him yes and no.

Yes you can remove the lead vocal from a prerecorded song, but only if the vocal is panned directly in the center of the stereo field. And even then, the process isn't perfect. There isn't currently any audio software on the market that can analyze and remove only a single vocal part. Instead, you have to cut out the material in the middle of the stereo field. That means cutting out the vocal and everything else centered in the field.
