Post subject:  Karaoke crawl.

I've been using Roxbox as my karaoke software program for several years now, and have been extremely happy with it's performance. I like the way it shows the list of upcoming singers at the end of each song. However, I went to another show last week where the KJ used a program that had a continual crawl under the words to let people know where they were in the lineup.

My question is what karaoke programs use or have this crawl feature. Again, although I like my Roxbox, I like the crawl feature better, and would probably make the change to another program.

Thanks in advance.

KARMA by Karaosoft is one.

There are probably at least 3 or 4 more hosting programs that do this as well.

Sax-N-Dotty's Show Presenter does as well although it is kind of "klunky"

Hoster doesn't do a scroll, it has the next singers show at the bottom (or top if you prefer). And you can set as many or as little as you want. I have the next 3 people displayed, and it will show in either real time or in minutes if you prefer. Works out quite nicely!

Justkaraoke has it at the start of each song. If it's a bar outside the lyrics then if was Compuhost.

...and have you noticed just how well CompuHost does the scroll? Yes, I know that there are a few programs that can do a scroll but none of them can do it as well as CompuHost. CompuHost does it with such power, such style, such grace. It does it beautifully and most of all, it does it with love.

and you see the green button in the picture, it changes yellow at 1min remaining, then red at 30seconds to let you and the singer know that the song is almost done.

I use this for my queue when to go back to the stage when i'm out visiting with singers. so im always up on stage when the music is close to ending. no accidental dead air!

Yes, the countdown timer. Great feature. Just wanted to point out that the screen shot is from version 1. The scroll and timer button is fancier in version 2. And don't forget, you can customize the scroll. Use different colors, also use the scroll to advertise your bars drink/food specials, etc. It does it all. That's the POWER of CompuHost.

But do you have to type it manually or does it automatically show the upcoming singers. Hoster also has a marquee that you can manually type into and it will display whatever you want (on the fly).

Alan, I don’t know why you singled me out. Why not include other karma users as well: chris, karaokelan, mrmarog, kjmann, ctkirk, vince prince, rickgood, etc? I know, you’re afraid they might rip you a new one. And Alan, how many times do I have to tell you, I don’t need to buy c-host. What do I have to do to prove to you that I already bought it 3 yrs ago (fasttracks too) & didn’t like it?.…….here in my old desktop gathering cobwebs, still the old ch v1. What I've been saying here all the time. It's a matter of personal preference!!! Eat your words, man!

I didn't need to buy CH, used the demo & even had a friend that used to use it show me it (he actually uses Hoster now because he hated CH).

Why did I single you out, you ask? Because you are "the" man. A giant among men. A man by which all men are measured. A man in which others look to for leadership and guidance. That's Why. I hope I don't have to explain it to you again. :)
