The Karaoke Forum

Here's something I posted on Karaoke Scene Magazine forum. Woo! Now you're into the tricky stuff. The most difficult duet I ever did was Frank Sinatra & Sammy Davis Jr – Me And My Shadow. Struggling to get this to work well taught me a lot about KBS. First step. Templates are available for diffe...

It's been some time since you posted this but hopefully I can be of some help. You can edit the mp3 file in Audacity (free to download). Using the Generate drop-down you can insert clicks or tones or whatever. I used to download clicks from drum websites and paste them into the lead-in silence of th...

Yes, I've heard them. But the person who keeps requesting it wants the Bax Migraine version. He likes the bit where ol' Max does the talky thing and a barbershop quartet sing in the background.

I'm looking for 'Heart of my heart' by Max Bygraves. Is it available?

Okay, Wiseguy, so you reckon the mixer is a toy? Maybe we could discuss that a bit. Tell me about the main chip used in the circuit? Tell me about the method of achieving the delay; we both know it uses what’s known as ‘bucket brigade’ but how, exactly does that work? In what way is it inferior to t...

I set up a cheap karaoke system last year solely for family get-togethers. There will be those who sneer at the simplicity-cheapness of my setup but it does exactly what I want. I think it would suit you too. I get good sound quality from this system. I have a laptop: Toshiba Satellite L300 but prac...

Fallen Angel by Frankie Valli

This is such a beautiful song, yet I can't find a karaoke file anywhere. Can anyone help?

Mnementh, regarding removing vocals from audio tracks, it's almost never satisfactory. The programmes that claim to do it for you all work on one basic principle. They need the vocal to be recorded as near the centre of the stereo field as possible. That is, the singer will, as you listen to the mus...

I found the same thing at Amazon. All you get is an MP3. No CDG file. I complained to them and they refunded my money. But they were the only ones offering the tracks I wanted. So what to do? I got myself a copy of Karaoke Builder Studio and made my own CDG files. It isn't a walk in the park. The us...

Okay, I've been playing around with KBS again and I think I have worked out how to create a title screen and other fixed text. For those who are still struggling with the extremely oblique help files, here's a blow-by-blow account of what I did. As (and if) I discover more, I'll come back and post t...

I did get it to work once. I'm still not sure how I did it. But I think you have to synchronize the song first. Then you add a gap above your lyrics, add text and then edit the word TEXT to what you want your fixed text to say. Click each line of your introductory text and select 'FIXED'. Remember t...

This software is driving me nuts. I have mastered most of the basics: entering the lyrics and music, synchronising them and producing an MP3 and CDG file. These play perfectly on Karafun and I am well chuffed. But I have a problem. I can not figure out how to handle the FIXED TEXT function. At the a...

I realise that this reply is a bit after the event. But I just found it and hope that, although it may come a bit late for the original poster, there will be others who could profit from my experience. I also required a simple and cheap karaoke setup for home use. Here's the system I ended up with w...
