Creating
a Master Karaoke CDG Song is Easy!
CREATE
A PROJECT FILE
Karaoke
Pro creates a project for each song to save your work. You can finish
the song or open a project at any time, make changes. You can copy a
project to make major changes from the original. When done, simply
export your mastered karaoke CDG song and use Microstudio (optional)
to assemble and write it with other songs to a karaoke cdg disc for
karaoke players.
SELECT
SETTINGS

You can
select all the parameters that control the appearance of your master
karaoke song. There are three tabs that separately control the Title
Page, the Lyrics area, and a Credits Page at the end.
You can
select the colors, any TrueType 1-byte or Unicode 2-byte font, point
size and other text attributes, text horizontal and vertical
positioning and graphic images and fade in/out parameters. Select to
highlight the words or the background, and have lines continuously
replace after they highlight or appear on new pages. You can now
create solo karaoke cdg songs, and create duets in our upcoming
version. Any parameter can change before creating your song on your
hard drive, save the project, and open it and make edits or change
selections and export a new version of your song.
ADD
THE MUSIC
Karaoke
music can be any .wav file on your hard drive. Some music sources
are: imported from Audio or Karaoke CD's with Microstudio, use Vogone
to reduce the vocals, have a musician create it, synthesize it from
MIDI files, or buy music without the vocals. If you add a Title page,
the music and lyrics will automatically delay so the lyrics start
after the Title Page, and continue until a Credits Page appears. You
do not need an audio editor program with Karaoke Pro.
IMPORT
OR ENTER THE LYRICS
The
song lyrics can import from a file downloaded over the Internet, or
enter them directly in the Edit Lyrics Screen. After synchronizing
the lyrics to the music you can edit any misspellings and even add or
remove words and change the lines they are on.
SYNCHRONIZE
THE LYRICS

Karaoke
Pro makes synchronizing the lyrics to the music so easy that anyone
can produce a perfect song. While playing the music, you simply tap
the Spacebar key where each word is to start highlighting. Tapping
the Ctrl key stops the highlighting where the singer is to pause.
KPro automatically creates the variable speed highlighting to make it
easy to sing. You can synchronize the lyrics to music with the vocal,
then replace with vocal reduced music, or create master songs with
and without vocals.
ADJUST
THE SYNCHRONIZATION

After
you synchronize the lyrics, click the Adjust Lyrics Screen button to
play. If you see a word highlighting that is not in perfect sync, tap
the spacebar to stop play and automatically select that word. The
Adjust Play button allows loop playing on a few words before and
after the selected word. As you see how the start of the highlighting
needs adjusting, simply tap the < and > keys to visually adjust
the selected lyric word(s) while looping on that area. Use the Ctrl
key with < and > keys to adjust the lyric highlight ending.
Continue playing until you find another word that needs adjusting.
You can randomly start play at any point to view the highlighting.
The
Advance sweep control moves all the lyrics to start highlighting
sooner to the music. This removes your response time when tapping in
the lyrics, and makes the highlighting start before the singer is to
start so they are exactly with the music. WIth KPro you will create
perfectly synchronized songs every time.
MTU is
the first in the world to ship a mastering digital audio workstation.
We are expert at mastering concepts including displaying audio
waveforms and editing. However, when synchronizing karaoke lyrics to
music, viewing a waveform will cause you to damage the
synchronization! KPro does not show a waveform because it is expertly
engineered to insure you will get every word in perfect sync, while
you simply focus your mind like a singer.
KARAOKE
PLAYER
Click
the Play Screen button to preview your song exactly as it will appear
in a Karaoke Player. The professional highlighting speeds up and
slows down to show how long to sing each word.
WRITE
A CDG DISC
To
write to a CD Burner, use the Microstudio software that comes with
the Karaoke Suite #4 (or optionally available) to assemble your songs
with others into the track order you want on the master karaoke cdg
disc, and an MTU CDG certified CD Burner. Our Microstudio free demo
allows you to test your CDR to see if it can read and write the CDG
disc format. |
