Remove the vocals from the song. Use the knobs, modules, low and high pass filters, and equalizer settings to remove the vocal pattern from the song. Turn the low pass filter up. This filter is the instrumental pattern of the song. Use the high pass filter knob to diminish the volume of the vocals so the instrumental pattern can drown out the vocals. Use your discretion to edit the equalizer modules as needed. This action will smooth out the removal of the vocal pattern.

Tips & Warnings
All versions of Sony Acid Music do not come equipped with the Vocal Eraser Plug-In. If your version of the program does not have this feature, you must download and implement a vocal removal plug-in. Click on the Vocal Remover VSTi Plug-In Download link in References.
If you do not have the Sony Vocal Eraser plug-in installed in your Sony Acid Music database, you will need to install it prior to attempting to remove vocals from any song. The Vocal Eraser plug-in is not a free VST plug-in. It must be bought in order to acquire a registered Sony Serial ID number to install the plug-in in your Sony Acid Music database. For more information, click on the Sony Vocal Eraser Support and Information link in Resources. The vocal removing plug-in will not completely remove vocals. It will simply lower their volume drastically. The only way vocals can be removed from a song completely is to have access to the master recording for editing purposes.
