How to Take Vocals Out of a Beat

If you want to use only the background music of a song that has vocals, there is a way to remove vocals that are embedded in the background of instrumental music. This is useful for a karaoke night with family and friends. You will need sound editing software to remove vocals from background music. However, the music that you are trying to remove needs to be a stereo track. A stereo track will come in a form of a MP3 file which you will upload onto the software and convert to a mono file or track.
