acapella or not

i’ve just started listening to dj’s, i started researching and practicing my transitions as well as beatmatch, and looking at tons of tutorials , i have the basic numark mixtrack with traktor pro to learn the basics..
is there a way to just have vocals without a track playing in the actual music or would i have to go out and buy the acapellas, oh i wanna use it for effects, or transitions… can anyone shed a little light on that area for me please…
what other tools would be needed to make a pro style mix?

You need to buy the acapellas or manually use sound editing software to rip them out.

There’s no magical button to just strip the vocals out of a tune.

I mix rum and cokes in my kitchen.

And that’s not an easy process.

You’ll have to buy the acapellas (or find ones that have been made by people who know what they’re doing).
