Just wondering if anyone has seen or actually had themesleves recorded on CD at karoke night  recently ?

For arguments sake lets not talk about the legality issues.

As a singer would you like a recording of yourself at Karaoke Night

Would you want the recording THAT NIGHT or  would you wait until the next week to get the CD?  

Would you pay for a GOOD recording?

As a KJ are you providing this service --What equipment is required ?

Thoughts Comments suggesions ideas

I agree with Jeff on these points mentioned above, knowing in advance so as to pick good music, price.

I think you would definately have to tell people in advance about any recording.

I'm not quite sure what is involved but I think a price of $5 for one song or $10 for the night isn't too much ?   I can see the "pro-singers" wanting to hear themselves or a CD to show friends and family etc.  I can also see GROUPS out for the night for parties etc wanting a recording of them all drunk and singing.

I have the PC but did'nt know you could run the mixer right to the PC ? Ithought you needed one of those CD RECORDERS

ALLSTAR, So you indicate you've done this before ?  DO you still?

Was it worth it $$$ ---Did your singers appreciate it ???

Is is a favorable addition to a Karaoke Show???

I record people all the time at my shows. I use a DVD recorder Pluggged into my utilty output directly off my board and the sound is amazing. I don't charge anyone I keep track of all my customers through E-mail addy's. When I get a good version of a song they sang I rip it then convert to a 196 MP3 then post it on an Esnips account then send them the link to pick it up. This way I can also send them E-mails of up coming events and whatnot. My customers deserve to get their songs for free after all they already support me just by coming to the shows and drinking and making all my shows a hit. I would not even consider charging them for a recording EVER. This is 1 of my MANY thank you's to them. You should all consider this with your own customers. Remember without them you would be sitting on your a## at home watching American Idol instead of working.

Check out the sound of my recordings if you wish here:


VERY VERY good marketing RD

I know when I first started singing karaoke if I had had a chance to listen back to myself it would have put me off completely. The average person doesnt understand the difference between what they hear live and what they hear recorded. As a radio dj it took me months and months before the ear was trained well enough to overcome this.
I just feel that for many it would be too much of a reality check

Just take a look at my gallery for the equipment.  Simply out from the board into the DVD recorder.  Pretty simple.

Frankly who would want a substandard recording done in a less than perfect recording environment?
If one is to pay then you might as well pay for studio time if you rate yourself
