ROBERT'S KARAOKE CORNER
I use a number of
different programs to record, edit and play and publish Karaoke songs.
The
first one is Wav Creator from
www.blazeaudio.com which I use to record myself
reciting poetry or singing along to karaoke songs. Wave files are very large
like 50 MB
for 5 minutes but there are certain tools you can use to enhance the recording,
like adding
echo and fading in and out to get the song prepared to be converted to an MP3
file.
The next program I
use is a Wav to MP3 converter from
www.imtoo.com The
MP3 files
are 1/10th the size of a wave file but once it is converted from a wave file it
cannot be edited.
I play karaoke songs on my PC with a program called Power CD+G Player Pro which
I got from
http://www.powerkaraoke.com/. This
company also supplies a program named Power CD+G
Burner. I use the Burner to print karaoke CDG files to disc. I get the songs to
burn to disc from
http://www.buykaraokedownloads.com/
Most of
these songs I have purchased
for .99 cents and
$1.50 tax
included and they all have words and music.
I have also
purchased different sound cards for both my laptop and desktop computer from
Creative
Labs/SoundBlaster
that allows me to connect a Karaoke disc player with a microphone
interface to and through my computer so I can have better control over the
recording mic
echo level. The soundcard I got for my desktop was called
the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
Pro
and the USB sound card that I just purchased for my laptop is called Blaster
X-Fi Surround 5.1.
I purchased a karaoke disc
player and a 500 watt stereo mixing amp from Ace Karaoke, visit
http://www.acekaraoke.com for more info
on Karaoke equipment.
I
recommend that you check
www.loudkaraoke.com
out also.
Karaoke has opened up a new world of fun,
entertainment and social interaction for me which helps
to make my life more
fulfilling.
