thanks Harry. Why she's so far back on this track I really don't know, but can't wait to listen to it.
The method I used was to use Audacity's "Vocal Reduction and Isolation" effect, isolating the center channel. It's not perfect but it does attempt to cancel out some of the stereo left/right backing which is where most of the loud strings and such are. The sax was centered and I tried to minimize it a little.
As requested, here's "Now" using nearly the same tactics. Again, the sax was centered and I attempted to tame it a little. This one really had Karen buried in the mix, so I could only do so much without leaving some really harsh artifacts - which both of these have. They're definitely not perfect, but they are fun to play around with and listen to.

Here's a question though. I know Richard has always held high regard for the MIA album, but has he ever remixed it like he has earlier Carpenter records? I'm sure he's heard the criticism that Karen is sometimes drowned out by the production (or over production) of the sound.
