How do you eliminate vocals when playing an imported Multiplex CDG?
 

I have several Multiplex CDG's and wonder if it is possible to play them so only the music is heard and not the vocals?

Or do I have to seperate these out and play the CDG on my CDG player instead of my laptop?

Best I remember I read that the multiplex tracks has the vocals on one track only. all you have to do is kill the channel (left or right) , and mix the right & left channel to mix to both. I have a work around for this. My computer is plugged into a vocopro 1050, you hit the remove vocals button and it does this.

if you are plugged into a mixer, most of them are made so if you plug your input into left channel only it outputs bothe left & right. This would also work also. just unplug the channel with the vocals and plug in the channel to the left input. works like magic.

Good idea to unplug the channel with the vocals and then plug the music channel into the left so that music comes from both speakers. I was thinking I would only be able to get sound from the one channel.

Thanks...

I love these forums. Sure nice to get fast answers to questions that come up.

Just a thought, I know that VOCOPRO (I hate the brand) has a karaoke mixing board that has an "MPX" button on it that eliminates the offending channel automatically... I have one of these boards but I needed more channels and control.

I think there is some software available in some sound cards that will do this too... Just a thought.

JVC does to
 

The ever popular JVC line of players have the MPX button that instatly removes the vocal channel on Multiplex CDG's.

CAV's too
 

Oh yeah, so do the CAV's units, at least most of them I've tinkered with.

I am not using the JVD CDG player which I used to use. I am using the laptop.

I only have a few Multi plex and won't buy anymore. What I do, is unplug a speaker and play only the left side and it works OK, just that it is a bother.
