Once you have the files that you want to change on your Hard drive, then open the Keyrite Program.
1) Click the
Select Input File button.
2) Under the
Open Dialog change the
Files of Type to either
Wave Files (*.wav) or
CDG Files (*.cdg) depending on which type of file you are trying to Keychange. Select your file and click the
Open button.
3) Click any of the buttons under
Key Change Factor to change to the desired Key. This will start playing the audio from the start of the file. You can click a different key change button while playing and it will continue playing, using the new key change.
4) When you have your selected key for this song, click
Stop to end playing. Then click the
Select Output File button. I always select my original file and add "keyc", "kc" or "2" to the end of the filename so I know this file is Keychanged. Once you enter your new filename, click the
Open button.
NOTE: You cannot select the file that is opened without changing the name. Keyrite PREVENTS overwriting the original file you have open now to key change.
5) Next click the
Write File button. This will ask you if you wish to create a new file. Click Yes to write your new keychanged song to the file where you selected on your hard drive.
That's all. Your keychanged file is where you saved it, named what you named it.
To write your new keychanged file back to a Karaoke CDG disc (.cdg files only), or an Audio CD disc (.wav files only), run Microstudio again. Click the Custom Assembly Tab and follow the instructions in the manual to add songs to the list to write to a new CD-Recordable disc.
Next, take your new Karaoke disc with your keychanged .cdg songs on it, and perform in public without having to ask your show host to do a keychange for you. Some hosts, don't like the interruptions this causes, so now they should be very happy with you justing asking to play track X, Y or Z on your disc.
