;info "by David R. Sky www.shellworld.net/~davidsky/ \nReleased under terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 \nRemoves center-panned audio in a stereo track by inversion and panning to center.\n\n'Simple' removal removes all the center-panned audio. If too much audio is removed,\ntry removing only selected frequencies - enter these in the box 'Frequency band\nlower and upper limit'. Then choose 'Remove band' to remove only frequencies in\nthat band, or 'Retain band' to remove only frequencies outside that band. After\nremoval, the audio will sound mono because both channels are panned to center.\n\nFor further help, select 'View Help' in the first dropdown menu and click OK. After\nreading Help, please reopen Vocal Remover to use it.\n"

; Center pan Remover by David R. Sky November 12, 2004
; updated October/November 2007. Further modified by 
; Gale Andrews January 2008 to make full spectrum removal 
; the default, restore a single Help screen and restore error checking.
; Ideally wants rewriting so that no error checking occurs when
; default full spectrum removal selected.
; Thanks to David Hostetler for notes in his own vocal remover plug-in,
; which makes this plug-in more effective. See -

"Vocal Remover requires a stereo track. It works best with\nlossless files like like WAV or AIFF, rather than MP3 or\nother compressed formats. It only removes vocals or other\naudio that is panned to center (sounds equally loud in left\nand right). Vocals are often mixed this way. Inverting one\nchannel then panning both to center cancels out any audio\nwhich was originally center-panned, making it inaudible.\nThis can remove some parts of the audio you may want to\nkeep, such as drums, which are also often mixed to center.\nIf the vocals and other centered parts differ in pitch,\nthis can be solved by removing only selected frequencies.\n 
Vocal Remover thus has three choices of removal method.\n'Simple' inverts the entire frequency spectrum of one\nchannel. This may remove too much music if other parts of\nthe audio are centered as well as the vocals. In that case,\ntry the other choices. If the vocals are at a different\npitch than the other audio (such as a high female voice),\ntry 'Remove frequency band'. This only removes frequencies\nbetween a lower and upper limit which you can enter in the\n'Frequency band...' box. Experiment by entering what sounds\nlike the most significant frequency range of the original\nvocals. If the other choices remove too much audio in a\nparticular frequency range (such as low drums or bass), try\n'Retain frequency band'. This only removes frequencies\noutside the limits entered, retaining the others."))
