To anyone wondering how this will work, since the post didn’t say:
> The feature won’t see users switching over to music tracks that already have the vocals removed, however. Instead, it’s relying on an on-device machine learning algorithm that processes the music in real time, Apple says. The algorithm isolates the vocals from the rest of the song, allowing users to adjust their volume accordingly using a new slider button in the Apple Music app.

I wonder how well this will work. Especially when some songs apply all sorts of wacky effects on vocals. Sometimes it’s not even clear to a human what should be considered vocals and what’s part of the instrumental. The context matters too. Maybe they’re using the lyrics as a signal?
