Can you pull vocals off a cd player with a mixer like you can with a lp using a l/r cable?

you talking dj mixer, right? plug the RCAs from the CD into the 'line in' inputs on the mixer. then switch input on that channel from 'turntable' to 'line in'.

how can people not know these fundamentals? you can still buy hi fi as separates cant you?

to answer the question - you dont even need a mixer, theres a diagram at the front of the mpc manual if youre totally ignorant (no offence).

1/4 jack to phono x2

I was asking can you do what you can with a mixer on a cd player like you can on a turntable have the vocals playing without the music ! You know how premiere does with vinyl and turntables! Snatch vocals for scratches and hooks!

Okay, listen closer to the scratches. Most tablists know that it's usually beneficial to turn down the bass on that mixer channel when scratching, I would assume. The music is still there. I cain't think of an example right now, already took my sleeping pills, so sorry, but if you listen reeeealy close you can hear the original track music is still there, just quickly cut off at the end of the vocal part he scratches on. The exception would be scratching an acapella. I'll throw my Gang Starr rarities A-Z collection on media player classic tomorrow when I'm cleaning the lab and if I hear an example I'll hit you back with the track and the original track he scratched for the hook, if I have it, but only this one time, as I may have just violated the rules of diggin.
