How to Delete Voice From an MP3 in Audacity Leaving the Instrumentals

Until the release of several vocal removal plugins, deleting vocals from a track in Audacity was a much more complex process. Users typically had split a stereo track into two separate mono signals and then remove the audio frequencies commonly containing vocals. The "Vocal Remover" plugin however makes this process much faster. You need only import your audio in Audacity and then activate the plugin to begin removing vocals from an instrumental track.
