Yes and No.... it all depends upon the nature of the original sound file.

There are many products out there than can, try to, do vocal reduction or elmination. Their prices range from $20 to several thousands. Some companies also offer to remove vocals from music you provide them "for a small fee" (~$15 per song).

The one thing that all have in common is that there is no promise that the results will be good enough for you.

I've had songs that program "X" will completely managle while they just sound crappy when other applications "remove" the vocals. I've worked with songs from which only Vogone creates tolerable results.

So if you already have other programs that claim to do vocal reduction its worth trying them if Vogone doesn't do a good enough job for you, but I wouldn't recommend running out and buying anything else JUST for the vocal reduction. I don't think you'll find another program that does as good a job with as a wide a breath of sound files as Vogone.

If you're serious about getting music without vocals then your best bet is to find a source of "bed" music that has the songs you want in a format and price you can deal with. Some time researching Midi or MP3+G files might be well spent (NOTE you will need to convert these to .wav files before using them with MTU's software). Some folks actually use sheet music and a good keyboard/synth to create the music themselves. But all that stuff is for a different fourm.
