I imagine they use a fourier transform to convert the sound into its component frequencies, remove everything not used by the human voice, and then convert it back again.
As for software to automate the process... I have no idea.
Looking at the interwebnets, it seems to somehow take advantage of the volume of the vocals being equal in each channel - maybe they also do each channel separately, and keep the minimum frequency from each, so that if something can only be heard in one, it gets removed.
Sometimes you can isolate/remove parts of a song by inverting/combining the track/channel phase, however you can usually tell when these types of techniques are used since the quality is noticeably lower... apparently these songs are made by Microsoft officially so my guess is they just license the original vocal recording and use it in the project.
it's weird everyone wants to say she can't sing without antares autotune, but autotune wasn't there when she sang on talent search, and it wasn't there when she auditioned for the new mickey mouse club. she can sing. sure, she can't sing at the same time she dances for an hour, but she can sing. you're a failure, goldenappel.
it remembers me to my jamaica holiday in the early 80s when an older man came to the restaurant and sang all those hits on his keyboard. every song soooo flat and annoying.
it's to show the stupidity of that program microsoft created. getting the voice track out of a song however is rather easy. there's software that can identify notes played by an instrument. delete those, you get the voice only...
This one proves is that you actually DO need to know something about music to make SongSmith work correctly. The person who made this knows nothing about BPM, and that's why it's not even funny, it just plain SUCKS.
please learn what BPM stands for before making anymore videos. Never used this program, but the vocals are horrible off beat and not in time with the music.
it's pretty good except the chorus part. doesn't match up as well. but i think the verses are actually preferable to the original song. i'm not saying britney spears is an amazing vocalist, but she actually sounds better with some simple computerized music behind her instead of random computerized noises.

highly unlikely, to many frequencys are shared by both the vocals and the instruments. This isolation is to perfect for that.
