Yes, there seems to be some problem with the Save to feature... and as I said, I too am still just playing around with it. I guess if I can just cut and paste the KMA files to the eventual location "d:\karaoke discs" I will be fine.

As far as the moving from computer to computer, I do have a USB ethernet card and I am using that, so the legalities behind the copy are secured and the functionality also are fine. My concern is more the mobility of the Hard Drive.

As to the Singers and the compressor/limiter, of course I still make adjustments to each singer women vs men have separate reception even in good micrphones. I don't compress/limit "whole mixes" because that would give me a generic sound, each singer has their own technique and I try to cater to that (after all, my show caters to the upper 25% of karaoke singers, not rejecting the lower 75%, people who come to my bar are exceptional! 4 American Idol contestants, Kim from Miss Saigon on Broadway has performed and our local theater cast often shows up).

What I am more concerned with is the extreme dynamics between two CDs and sometime two songs on a CD. For example, there is a song on the Aida Disc by Pocket Songs "Easy as Life" if I sing "Music of The Night" on the Pocket Songs CD and then pop in the other, "Music of The Night" is so low that I have the mixer turned up beyond 0dB, when I play "Easy as Life" the audience (and the neighborhood) jumps and complains... it is SO LOUD.

I was brought into the loop of karaoke through this very complaint and I felt that I could help host solve this problem, yes there is compression and limiting, but I would like to prempt most of it in the copy to hard drive phase.

Thanks again.
