If you understand tech, it's a really hard thing. all vocal removers can't really work. they take away a frequency of a given audio file. some work better then others. vdj isn't perfect, nor are other programs.. tought thing to do nowadays. differrent song, different results.

Try to adjust equ. settings or use vocal plugin but the result is not perfect.
However; look at this common way to mix:
----------------------------------------
- A song is playig in the deck A.
- Beatmatch another track on B and cue it on a beat without vocal with a (for example) 8 beat loop..
- During a part with vocals on deck A, kill bass on A and start B on the same moment.
- Use Fade plugin (with 'out' option) on A and exit loop on B when finished.
Simple but very cool.

If you had the instrumental you may be able to play it 180 out of phase and it would cancel out the music and leave the vocal only. you do need to be playing them at the same time. I good software to try it with would be a multitrack like cool edit pro.

Great suggestions. If you're hearing a real acappella with no noise at all behind it, it's probably a true one...comes with the 12" or CD. In the studio they can do it because they have every channel of music, vocal, sounds...separate. Once it's recorded there are other frequencies that are the same as the vocals. When you isolate the vocals/frequencies, like most current products, you still get the other "noise". The EQ adjustment idea is something I've tried and it definitely helps so great idea. Not sure I understand the other one but sound's like he really has worked at it.
