| Setting | What It Does | Best For | |---------|--------------|-----------| | | Cancels center content → instrumental track. Vocals become very faint/ghostly. | Karaoke, remixing when original multitracks unavailable. | | Isolate Vocals | Keeps only center content (including vocals, bass, kick, snare). Other instruments drop in level. | Studying vocal melody, rough acapella for sampling. | | Simple (Lowest Quality) | Basic phase inversion. Fast, but artifact-heavy. | Quick previews. | | Remove Center (Classic) | Standard phase cancellation. | General use. | | Reduce Center Volume (Low/Med/High) | Attenuates center without full cancellation. Reduces bleed artifacts. | When full removal sounds too watery/phasey. | audacity vocal reduction and isolation plugin
