I was reading about the PX3 tonite and read that is has a "center cancel" function, which is supposed to delete anything that's present on both the right and left channels of the music. In effect, it's supposed to remove the vocalist or lead instrumentalist. My question: how well does it work? Is there still a 'shadow' of the original signal leftover? And, does it remove other stuff too, that has some signal on both channels even if panned more to one side or the other? I'm intrigued.

...funny you should ask that, I was wondering this very morning whether it was possible to create a computer program that would be sensitive to the signature sound of individual instruments' tone, so that they could be selectively subtracted from any track...you could then of course put your own vocal or rhthym, drums, bass, whatever into the song...would there be a certain electronic signature that could be segregated? I would have brought this up in "computers", but I would feel like a high-school drop-out walking into M.I.T... |

I have a PX2. I don't think it has that feature.
If you reverse the phase of one of your headphones you might get the same effect. Or maybe the steel would disappear!!!------------------

I have a Boss TM-7 Guitar Monitor which has this function. It works rather well, especially 'cause it has a bass tone and pan adjustment feature. How well it works depends on the mix and mastering of the music being played. This unit runs on batteries or adapter and can get a decent clean tone through it's amp simulator. It also has stereo effects loop. You can find one of these used on eBay for around $50. One of the best cheap products i've ever owned. |

I have a Pandora II. It has the facility to remove vocals, but to me it doesn't do a very good job of it. My other gripe about it is that it is just too small. There's no need for it to be so tiny, it would be far better as a 1/2 rack size. |

Hey Richard - I travel a lot for work, and I sometimes bring along my Gibson EH-150 lap. The Pandora II and a set of headphones will fit right in your travelcase. It's a good way to go in this situation. |

Yes Steve, you are right. I hadn't thought of the Pandora in that context. It is ideal for the travelling musician. |

The Pandora PX-3 removes most of the lead vocal/instrument. However you will hear as mentioned the reverb effect (the stereo effect) of the removed vocal/instrument. It's an ok thing to practice with, but it's not like pulling the fader of a mixing console all the way down....
