I've used Vogone 2.014 mostly on Frank Sinatra songs. The results are good, but variable. The most important factor, I think, is how much echo/reverb is in the song to start with. What I try to do in singing my Vogone-reduced CDG songs is make sure that my own mike volume is high enough to virtually drown out the residual reverb of Sinatra's voice and to try to sing in exact sync with Sinatra's phrasing. As I like to record my singing efforts (again, for personal use; who else would want to hear me sing?), this strategy is a pretty good one.

I've also used Vogone 2.014 on Eva Cassidy songs, but there is so much reverb that I am unable to eliminate enough of her vocal to hide it effectively with my voice.

For home use, I'm relatively satisfied, although I'm looking forward to Vogone 2.10, based on hearing the differences in some brief samples.
