I've used this many times to remove vocals from a song and in most cases it works surprisingly well. It seems to depend a lot on the actual song and whether it's a recent song or something quite old. Older stuff I think has been originally mixed differently and doesn't allow vocal removal so well. As for Music removal (keeping the vocals), well that isn't good at all. In fact it's damned poor, but I guess this isn't something that many people would use after all.
1. why is it easier to move vocal then music, for a big company you can't do it but websites, have AI that can do this, if you use this program you can still hear music abit 2. why in cyberlink you can remove vocals but i have to REBUY a new program (audiodirector) just do do the opposite like remove music
Thanks for the questions. I don't know why the Cyberlink program designers make the choices they do. It would be great if the music could be totally removed as some other programs do. I'm guessing Cyberlink doesn't want PowerDirector to have all the capabilities of AudioDirector internally because that would shrink their market for the second program. That's only my speculation. Like you, I work within whatever limitations the program offers, including the great and not-so-great components of the program.
I'm guessing this tool has a limited ability to extract all vocals. It is probably related to pitch, as it can't truly understand the human voice, but only manipulate frequencies. --Jim
Hmmmm..... I don't really have a use for this as the music I use is all instrumental, and sourced from RUclips Music Library. But a trick I *do* use is to capture a song off RUclips(using Corel Video Studio's Screen Capture), then bring the clip into Power Director, split the audio from the video(having already given its title), saved momentarily as a wav. file before bringing the wav. file into Magix(formerly Sony) Sound Forge, sprucing up the audio quality, trimming off any wasted track(at the top and tail of the song) then saving as an MP3 to store in an archive of classic hits and rare tracks for future CD compilations for my own use. (I'll bet you were expecting a pun or joke from me! Not this time! LOL)
Neil. Sounds like you have a sophisticated process down cold for adding audio resources to your video projects. Nice to know you can combine tools from various vendors to get the result you are looking for. --Jim
@@SharperTurtle This isn't so much for adding audio resources to video, more a means to capture old classic Pop music for my personal archive. But the RUclips Music Library content I use for my videos keeps me from copping any copyright "pings".

@@Mediawatcher2023 You *WILL* get "pinged" if you use a commercial track because copyright applies to that track and you need to get "public performance clearance" from, in Australia's case, AMCO, the *Australian Mechanical Copyright Organisation.* But the RUclips Music Library content is licence-free, royalty-free and is readily available for anyone to use, as long as you pay the customary courtesy of acknowledgement of the performer(s) and title as well as the source in your video. that's the least you can do.
Well worth knowing, thank you Jim.

Steve,
Thanks for the feedback on this tool. Glad it works well in one direction. --Jim

Nice feature vocal removal or instrument removal I see it changed some from earlier versions
Thanks, William. --Jim
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me... even at infinity, vocals still crept in :(
