How Do you take music out of a song using Audacity?

Hi! I'm making a track using different parts of songs for a dance im choreographing. I'm using the program Audacity and want to take the music out of this one clip of a song so it leaves the clip with just the voice. How do i do that? Please make instructions as simple as possible please!How Do you take music out of a song using Audacity?
The instructions are not simple. your best bet is to find an add on that can do this for you, since doing it manually is tricky and often doesn't work well. If you have the background track for the song, then you can subtract it (invert it and play it on another channel). Audacity wasn't designed to do this.How Do you take music out of a song using Audacity?
Try using the notch filter to isolate the voice. You'll have to fiddle with the settings to find out what works best, since the pitch of the voice and how it varies is what the notch filter is keying on. It might be necessary to use several notch filters, applied at different points, to leave most of the voice.

I guess I was thinking of Audition. To construct a notch filter with Audacity, combine a low and high pass filter at the same frequencies, or even with the low frequency above the high frequency. Depending on characteristics of the voice, try the higher settings of rolloff (like 36 and 48 dB). For a male voice, try different frequencies from 100 to 500 or so; for a female, 200 to 2000.How Do you take music out of a song using Audacity?
You're asking for something that's almost as difficult as taking the "wet" out of water. There are programs designed to do that - Audacity, as good as it is for what it was designed for, wasn't.
