[ale] MP3 voice removal?

[Jeff Hubbs]

Most "vocal eliminator" hardware that I know of (the Thompson Vocal
Eliminator used to be produced right here in Aaaaaat-lanna!) performed some
analog-domain trickery that involved (among other EQ-related things)
subtracting one stereo channel from the other - the idea being that many
lead vocal tracks were laid down in mono and panned dead-center, so that the
lead vocal in one channel would almost exactly cancel that in the other.
With the kinds of vocal processing (Aphex, etc.) that is typically done
since the days of the TVE, channel subtraction-based processes may not work
on more recent program material.  

Your alternative is to find a MIDI file of the same tune and re-orchestrate
it sans vox.
