Thanks Pat, I did actually find it and out of curiosity loaded an mp3 in biab on the audio track just to see what it could do, adjusted a few of the settings on it, but totally useless, maybe I'm doing something wrong.

The help won't open in windows 7 says something about downloading another program to view it

I had high hopes for it, but have never gotten results from it that I would be willing to use in public. Success really depends on the way the recording was made more than on the plugin. I have had redux songs that sounded totally vocal free, no residue whatsoever. MOST songs, however, leave residual reverb and the vocals are still noticeable in the reverb trail.

But even when vocals are completely eliminated, the overall sound quality is degraded more than I would like.

One thing I DO find useful about it: When I send vocal redux songs to ACW I get better results, because in the absence of vocals there are fewer notes to confuse the chord generating algorithm.

I also notice that if I continue developing the song with the tempo mapped version of the redux song as my guide track, I can hear the instruments better and it helps me to figure out the parts when I play along. Oftentimes I can hear details in the redux that I completely missed in the version with vocals.

Upshot is, if you consider the PG Music suite of programs as a complete music making package, the vocal reducer can still fit into a niche that makes it useful
