Their sounding merges with all the rest instruments, and the so-called masking effect acts. Let's take to account that delays and revs occupy all width of the stereo base and fly away all over the stereo panorama.
In a modern digital epoch, these effects are simple to use and almost don’t cost anything. This is a lion's share of a good commercial mix. It’s worth considering that a vocal part is not only a dry voice but spatial effects applied to it (such as reverb or delay). Strictly speaking, 99 percent of sounding instruments are presented in the center one way or another, and the whole phonogram will suffer. Bass and kick will suffer first (it causes psychoacoustic factors). While we increasing the level of phase inversion, distortions will appear inevitably and be noticeable by ear. These important instruments include bass and kick.
Not only lead singer's signal is destroyed this way! Not only the main vocal but also other instruments are located in the center of stereo pan. That’s why if to divide stereo track of any song into 2 independent mono tracks, turn over a phase of one of these mono tracks and put it back into the initial stereo track, the level of the main vocal will decrease significantly, it will be practically deleted. It’s not a secret that sound producers prefer to place the main vocal in the center of stereo panoramas traditionally (by the way, the most famous violators of this rule were the Beatles). Voice removal tools make a new copy of an original mix where the vocal is looking like deleted with the help of phase inversion.
