What software can i use to make a instrumental?

Looking for a easy to use software so i can make some instrumentals. I have used some but they do not take the vocals out completely, i have Virtual Dj but i have no idea if it makes instrumentals. If it does can you please explain how to make a instrumental in Virtual Dj, or if you know of any other good software?

Thank you

No software will take out the vocals completely..
It’s only possible with the original multi-track studio recording.
Haven’t got Virtual DJ so can’t help with that.
All vocal removers use the same principal and Audacity is a good as any.
If you haven’t tried this app here are the links and method.
Audacity:

Vocal removal method:
Version 1.2 is a manual method, version 1.3 as an effect (automatic).

This is possible only for certain stereo tracks. When the vocals are exactly the same on both stereo channels, you can remove them by “subtracting” one channel from the other. This works for many studio recordings, where the vocal track is mixed exactly in the center. Be aware that bass and drums are usually panned to the center and can be removed or reduced also. Depending on how the track was mixed the vocal may only be reduced, not fully removed.

To do this in Audacity 1.2:

1. Import your stereo file into Audacity.
2. Open the track menu (click the arrow next to the track title), and choose “Split Stereo Track.”
3. Select the lower track (the right channel) by clicking it in the area around the mute/solo buttons.
4. Choose “Invert” from the Effects menu.
5. Using the track menus, change each track to “Mono.”

Press the Play button to hear the results. If you are lucky, the voice will be gone but most of the other instruments will be unaffected, just like a karaoke track. You can use the Export commands in the File menu to save the results.

Audacity 1.3:
Has a vocal remover built in. Just select the whole track then vocal remover from the effect menu.
