Abstract
An audio processor generates a vocal-free audio signal from an audio signal received from an audio source, directs a cross-fader to fade from the audio signal to the vocal-free audio signal responsive to occurrence of a trigger condition indicated by a status signal, and directs the cross-fader to fade from the vocal-free audio signal to the audio signal responsive to the trigger condition no longer being present.
