Then the bass is on a track and the guitar is on a track and the vocals are on a track. Then you can put special effects on different tracks and such. This is when the whole mixing thing comes into play to make everything blend...PITA. So, if you have the right program you can mute a track. At least this is what I think they are talkin about. I know this is the way it works while recording as I have done a lot of this. HTH.

It's not really the removal ofa the vocal track, as that would require the complete mix ( every track, plus the mixing schema, etc ). The filters basically scan the song for a pitch line that dynamically changes in between a set range. Translation... it looks for the 'virtual track' in or about the pitch range of a human voice and eliminates it. I'm sure it's WAY more complicated than that... but... I think that's the idea.
