How To Sample Vocals With Cool Edit 2?

You can always try the phase inversion technique. It sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

It works on the basis that vocals are usually panned dead centre and other instruments are panned slightly left and right.

Make a copy of the original in MONO, use Cool Edit to invert the phase, now play over the top of each over. This removes anything centre panned (hopefully the lyrics) so you get an instrumental. Now take this copy and play it over the top of one of the original mono copy and it should remove the l/r panned stuff from the original, leaving you with centre panned sounds.

Note: this doesn't always work and may leave other sounds in the mix, but it's worth a try.
