First Time User......Frustrated. Pls Help!
 

I am a first time user (newbie) to MTU MicroStudio. I have managed to learn how to get my files saved on my hard drive. (I have .cdg files and .mp3 files) However, I can't figure out how to make them play on my computer.
I went through the manual, and imported all of the files to a songlist. When I click the "play" the screen appears to come up, but all of the graphics run really fast and distorted and it makes a REALLY annoying buzzing sound. I don't have any audio at all.
Maybe I have been working on this too long, and am just getting frustrated :m . It's probably something really simple, but I can't seem to get it.
Also, apparantly my cd burner is not "compatable" (Go figure!)
I have used alcohol, and had no problem burning at all, but this program says I don't have a karaoke readable or writable drive. Why would it work with another program and not this one? Does that have anything to do with why I can't get the player to work, even though I am playing from my hard drive and not a disk??????
HELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!

you need to have a drive that supports reading and writing CDG Discs.

Here is the link to see if your drive is supported

http://www.mtu.com/support/cdr-ide-drives.htm

if your drive is not listed here then you will need to purchase a drive from MTU or one on this list.

Microstudio will not process Mp3 files, so a CDG compliant burner will not help there.

As flipper said a cdg compliant burner should take care of the problem where cdg files are concerned, as long as they are true cd+g files that are on a commercial cdg disc, and not something of an unknown nature that has been downloaded off the internet.

Regarding burners, MTU bench tests all the burners they sell and certify them as cdg compliant. They send the rejects back. Although a burner may be on the list of burners that SHOULD work, does not necessarily mean that every one WILL work, so don't go blaming MTU if you buy a burner elsewhere and it won't work.

The only recourse you may have with any other vendor is to insist at the point of sale that if the burner won't process CDG, you want to be able to return it. That's how I kept from eating an Acer that was advertised to work with Karaoke(a broad term), but would not process CDG. They supported VCD, but did not specify so in their advertising...They wouldn't make it good, but the vendor had to as we'd had a clear understanding at the point of sale...I'd specified CDG, not just Karaoke...Be careful.
