Well I've seen this asked a few times and seen people say its impossible. Well its near impossible.. But we can come pretty close or at least get a useable sample.
Heres a little tutorial I put together using part of the information from Adobes Resource Center. The following is a link to Adobe's Web site where there is a video (which you need Quicktime to view) on using the Center Channel Extrator. Take note when the guy uses NEW settings in the acapella filter. Then come back here I got more tips. So go check out:
Center Channel Extractor video on Adobe's Web site
So heres a quick run through...
Now after them steps if you want to try a little more. I usually do this to get the vocals louder and try to drown the music more:
Effects -> Filters -> Center Channel Extractor -> (Preset) Lift Vocals 10db
Effects -> Filters -> Center Channel Extractor -> (Preset) Amplify Vocals 6dB
Effects -> Amplitude -> Dynamic Processing -> Limit Hard -12dB Preset
Play around and see what you can come up. In other vocal extractions I used other Presets and then the Limit Hard -12dB. Don't be affraid to make your own Presets too. If it sounds good it sounds good. Let your ears be the final judge. And then... if you find something good. Share it here.

- In Adobe Audition 1.5 go to the wave editor view then open the file you want to to extract vocals from. File -> Open.
- Highlight or trim down the section you want to use. Go to Effects -> Filters -> Center Channel Extrator, then choose Acapella. If the Preset settings work then great. For me they never do. So heres what we do... Change the Frequency Range to "300Hz to 12000Hz". Feel free to play around but I found them settings to work best for most songs. Click OK.
- Now you'll notice that your drums are still pretty loud. What I did to combat this is went through the Dynamic Processing effect by clicking Effects -> Amplitude -> Dynamic Processing.I then used the the Limit Hard -12dB Preset which limited them loud drum noises. Now they are softer...
