The Karaoke Forum

Call me old fashioned, but I always...well 95% of the time run black coax cable TV wire to all my TVs. I have 100 foot reel of it that I use to make my TV runs. They make RF modulators for S-video too. If you feed multiple TVs you will lose signal strength. And this also depends on how long the cab...

Just to make sure I understand -- are you saying that the standard video card on any late model notebook will simultaneously send two different video signals to two separate monitors -- the notebook's display and an external monitor? Not so. You must have a video card that has that feature. Not all...

Actually, CD+G is not a video format. It is a 16 color graphic format that requires limited video resources. In fact JustKaraoke will run well on only 64 MB of video ram. I recommend 128 MB just to assure that things always run smoothly. Unlike Karafun, JustKaraoke is a karaoke hosting application ...

It's easy to go overboard when building your karaoke laptop. I'm guilty of this myself. I have to have the latest and greatest sound and graphics cards around. The truth is, if your only using the laptop for karaoke you are just wasting money. The integrated sound card that comes standard in most l...

The computer you have now was never any good for karaoke if you had to do all the get-arounds to make anything work. The title of this thread is the best laptop for karaoke. You need a laptop with the best internal sound card you can buy. A good video card with the dual display option. Check it fir...

Just go to overstock.com and get a refurbished laptop like this Dell Latitude D620 . Then dump Karafun and get a real hosting application like JustKaraoke and you will be good to go. My wife and I just looked briefly at JustKaraoke. It looks good and the price ($25) is right. I did notice that one ...

shut down all processes other than what you need to run your karaoke program. Shut down antivirus software. Does her computer have usb ports. on one of those ports you can put an external soundcard and disable the onboard one, freeing up resources. I use a behringer u-control sound card and it work...

How big is that computer as far as processor? What hosting program are you running? How much memory? What type of files are they? You can buy one piece of equipment to handle all your video stuff. It's a 10 year old notebook. IIRC the processor is a Pentium 4. Memory is 512 MB (maxed out). Hosting ...

I would like to buy a notebook to replace the old Dell Inspiron 2650 that my wife has been using for karaoke gigs. It works ok but it is not powerful enough to send different video signals to the display and the external monitor simultaneously -- meaning my wife must wait for a singer to finish befo...
