Karaoke Forums

i know alot of you use the MTU program to host and to backup your discs ad i appreciate the info you've provided via K-F.  I'd like to know if any of you use the vocal "remover" program or the karaoke producer program that allows you to creat your own karaoke discs complete with color changing graphics for the lyrics.  i'm sure you've all seen the discs where the words are wrong and it gets pointed out to you at every show.  well, that drives me nuts so i want to change those words to the correct lyrics.

<edited>  in addition, i won't be using this program to host.  only to backup and correct.  possibly to create karaoke songs from some local artists i know.

If you are only using one function of the whole suite then you will be better off with Karaoke Studio Builder.

that would make sense, Jian.  Does Karaoke builder offer copying software, creation software and vocal removing software?

just the ability to create the karaoke graphic track and combine it with the audio track.

MTU's Karaoke home producer is limited to solo acts so if you're dealing with a duet and want the vocal elimination as well as the song creation software then I would actually reckomend Power Karaoke's software as it has the eilimintor and the duet capability built in. One thing that Karaoke buidler does not have is a title screen creator built into it. you need their Karaoke builder that crates slides made outside of the studio program. Both MTU's and Power Karaoke's are built into the program making it easier to create a finished product. all products need an outside disc burning software to transfer the song to CD.

thanks for that info knightshow and danny.  

danny, you mentioned the limitations of MTU to a solo act.  I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.  Do you mean it won't take the backing vocals out as well as the lead?  If so, MTU's newest version says they've gotten that worked out.  The way CDs are produced it's viually impossible to take ALL the vocals out anyway, without ruining the accompanying music.
OR
Do you mean creating a CDG (or fixing a CDG with incorrect lyrics) is limited to one color?  

I have several burning programs, such as win media, roxio creator, i-tunes, jukebox....will these programs work to burn the finished files?  I've seen it talked about that the graphic and mp3 files are created seperately and "fused" at the time of burn.  How does that work?  
Please forgive my ignorance on this.  I am "old-school" haul your CDGs to the gig, buy new ones when they wear out, trying to learn a new/better way

I was referring to limitations of Home Producer which only allows one setting of colors of the lyrics.  Vogone has always been in the forefront in vocal reduction/elimination and I won't take away from that especially now that it does more than center panned vocals.
Again in my opinion MTU has one of the better writing programs but you might be better off if you don't have an MTU compatable drive to use Power Karaoke's as it works with some recorders that MTU's doesn't although Microstudio is supposed to be compatable with more drives than it used to be.

my drive is a plextor 716a, should be compatible with MTU as far as i know.  Thanks again for all the info.  i always know that i can count on y'all for insightfulness!
