sides.
Vocal Partner - Vocal Partner is a feature that removes vocals from multiplex CD tracks much in the same
way as Vocal Cancel, but with an added "auto-pilot" function. The main difference is that Vocal Partner will
only remove vocals as long as there is activity going through the microphone (singing). When you stop
singing, the vocals automatically return.

varying results.
