    I thought I could do these sweet remixes using bootlegged songs online-like karoake and it doesn't work at all... It won't even take out my vocals very well, let alone a pro song.

    Maybe some vocal eraser out there actually works, but I wouldn't know about that.

    you need to find the frequency,its not about just clicking a button ,it takes works man.

    i can erase any vocal track with just a parametric equilizer (at least a 64 band)
    once you find the singers frequincy range its easy.
    as well as removing the center track with something like Channel tools.

    +1 to R-mix.
     
    I've only played around a bit during spare time, but have got pretty good results.  With more time I imagine you could get better.
     
    Read Noel Borthwick's blog about using R-ix, it's very good.

    Its impossible to take the vocals out 100%.  Its like trying to take out the flour in an already baked loaf of bread.

    Yep, this type of processing is never perfect. Here are a couple articles that might be of help...

    I have found that dubing the bass part again and adding some percussion back to the mix can make a big difference.  Depends on how much time you want to spend and how important the quality is to you.
