Although the results are not always fantastic, it is possible. When people talk of a 'centre channel', they mean simply the sound that is equally spread between left and right: because vocals are usually mixed in the centre of the mix in most pop music. Once you have gotten rid of all the sounds that don't have an equal prescence on both tracks, you will have the 'centre channel'. Now, on this channel will likely be the vocals, the bass, the kick and any other elements that the producer couldn't be bothered to pan. Hopefully though, you will have just the bass elements and the vocals, as any producer worth his salt wouldn't leave anything else dead centre. Now all you need to do is roll off the bottom end to cancel out the bass. You HAVE to do this with a TRUE stereo sample. (A mono file converted into stereo won't work for obvious reasons.) So if you've got your copy of the song off vinyl, it won't work. The results may not be anywhere near perfect, but they're good to use in a fledgling mix, and then once you've got it sounding good enough, maybe you can send it to the label of the artist in question and they may give you the original acapella to use!
