In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a karaoke/instrumental version of any song you have with you.
Here we use, Adobe’s Audio Mastering Software, Audition. This trick uses a channel mixer preset that is available with the default installation of Adobe Audition. I Have Explained all the steps with screenshots so that it would be easier to understand.
1. FireUp Adobe Audition
2. Open the original version of the song
3. Select Waveform View (if not selected already)

4. Click & Drag the mouse through the waveform to get the whole of waveform selected

5. Go to Effects >> Stereo Imagery >> Channel Mixer

6. In the Next Dialogue that appears, Select ‘Vocal Cut’ from the ‘Effect Preset’ drop-down.

7. Click Apply/OK and wait for the process to finish. Save it and let the music begin…. The Karaoke or Instrumental Version of the song you selected is ready.Have Fun!!

you must be using an old version ,the effects are in a pane now. also, this really doesn’t work because you can still hear the vocals quite clearly, just at a much lower volume.

The UI of Audition could be altered. Effects could be viewed in panes too.
I dont claim that it produces 100% karaokes.
The quality depends on the original mastering of the song too.

is it possible to get rid of all of the vocals and not just the main vocals?

This works by matching the frequencies with the frequencies of the vocals.
So, all sounds, that comes in the frequency of vocals will be removed.
There might also be some plugin/addon which might eliminate sounds of a particular frequency that the user can specify.

this is a great program !! but ur screen shots are old cuz there is an update . this feature is either hard to find or gone.. i cant figure this out ??

Yes, the screenshots are old.
Chances are so low of the feature getting removed.
I’m almost certain there’ll be a Effects menu and Channel Mixer in somewhere there.
If nothing helps, try the official documentation/help. It might help.
