Karaoke Forums

Hello all! I've been lurking in these forums reading for a while now and decided to actually sign up and introduce myself.

I'm not a KJ, just love to sing. I've been singing forever - studied in every genre of music, but my love is really country and rock - go figure. (oh and I love swing and jazz) Anyway.... I sing in a cover band and use karaoke as a great way to practice the songs before getting with the band.

I've really enjoyed reading some of the posts - you all seem like nice, genuine people and I hope to get to know you all better.

Thanks!

Heather

Diva,

Glad you decided to join us!  I too was a long-time lurker and find I post in spurts...  I just love reading all these great opinions and seeing that I am not alone in my karaoke addiction!

Welcome!
Susie

Karaoke with Full House Entertainment

Thanks Susie! I admit karaoke is my guilty pleasure. It's hard for non-karaoke lovers to understand the draw. I'm just glad to have found fellow addicts so I don't feel so "geeky."  

Hi Diva, Welcome to KS, and be sure to sub some of your songs. I dont normaly do country but mostly classic rock and pop. Enjoy,.............

Thanks Badsinger! Quick question - what do you use to "sub"? I mean, do you have a studio with ProTools and all that, or is there an easier to use software program that people prefer? I'd love to sub something and just get into the swing of it - what I've heard has been a lot of fun!

Any tracking software will do. All you need is a backing track loaded to your tracker and basically sing and record to track 2.

For a free download I use  KRISTAL,  http://www.kreatives.org/kristal/
or you may want to use  Audacity.  http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Or you may already have a tracking program in your pc ,then use that.

I actually have a studio with ProTools, but if I want to lay down something simple, that's a few hour project, so I'd rather find something easy.

I'm gonna check out that Krystal thing - thank you so much!!!

And if you have not read; make sure the file is in mp3 below 3mb. (for nonpaying members).
KRISTAL is great for its simplicity.
