My tunes need vocals, as im a none for profit producer I wonder how to extract vocals from songs/tunes which already have the vocal but background effects making it near imporssoble to sample...
take a tune like this, how do I get the vocal coming in at 1:28 and nothing else

As a general rule you can't..
I've talked with some engineers who have actually roughly EQed vocals out before, and some who reckon having identical copies of the tune, albeit one being instrumental, theres a certainprogram that infact can ..
But most times you'd probably end up going thru less stress and jibberjabber by talking the producer and hopefully sorting it out , and maybe getting the raw vocals :)

Kn0ck0ut claims to be able to do this but I've never heard anyone who's gotten good results using it.

I suggest you go look for acapella versions on the internet. It's very hard to extract the vocals from the song and still sound good.

it can be done: the only sure way to get vocal's out of a song, with 100% accuracy and absolutely no loss of quality is to use "vocostrapelator" which is by a company called Propellerloopsbase.
its really hard to find, and very expensive to buy, but if you can find it, its well worth the money (or time searching).

options:
0. make your self an engineer and fix it, but unless you are a real engineer it will most likely suck :(
1. you can use the sample as it is and try to hide the background effects with new souds in your own track
I mean dont struggle with these original sounds, use them as part of of your new track
2. get a mic and record yourself, or have gal singing them
3. look for the original acapellla, sometimes is out there
4. (I just discovered this one) use a "text to speech" website. it converts text to spoken words, is pretty cool,
though the words obiously are not sung, but I think if you combine this something like Melodyne, you can get the words singing. seems like a lot of work though.

Using filters and EQ can get you pretty far. Most tracks have a high pass and wide band filter run on the vocals already so its not hard to judge which frequency ranges to keep.
SOunds simple, but it's not at all. If you can't find the acapella, get to playing and learn how to fine tune it. Just stay patient.
