So you've got your chord progression, which consists of four chords. During the first three chords the bass is mainly playing the root note of the chord. On the fourth chord, in the last bar, the bass starts stepping up from the root note to lead back to the root note of the first chord again (during the 'ooh-ooh And my…' vocal bit). Does that make sense?

Yeah it's a bugbear of mine that acapellas aren't derigeur. I can't write a song from scratch to save my life, but I can rearrange/remix existing songs to my hearts content and love doing so. Finding acapellas of things I *want* to remix though is increasingly hard.

Ok what software do you use? You should be able to just stick an eq on the channel strip, or multiple eqs if needs be.

Yep. Though as I said, I got it the wrong way round. It only works for removing whatever is absolutely dead centre in the mix (usually vocals, bass and drums) but won't help lift a vocal out of the mix.
