Well never got to use Hoster at any shows before New Years Eve... (I did however just for safety reasons revert back to 3.312) I did use it many times at home went through many of the well sang songs to make sure they were error free... and they were.

Set everything up a few hours before the show and did sound tests (it is a good thing that I got a run of the bar pretty much... they want the best and I try to give them everything I got)

Sound, lighting, and Hoster test all went perfect... Without having to mess with the CDG's (which I did bring in backup just in case)

I used to do about 12-14 songs an hour... If someone didn't take their time getting up to sing... that is about 4-5 mins per song because of person walk up, cdg change, and loading of the song once singer was ready. Last night I think that went up to about 15-17 people in an hour about 3.5 mins to 4 mins per song... (depending on length of the song of course) At one time I had a rotation of about 15 to 20 singers and the singers were happy cause they didnt have to sit for 2 hours just to sing songs...

Well in 7 and 1/2 hours of Karaoke last night I hit around 105-120 songs sang the whole night. Around 15-17 songs an hour. I didn't get done playing until 5:30AM and didn't get to sleep til like 7AM... The bar served breakfast at 6AM for free to anyone in the bar... and lol the people didn't want to stop singing and there were still at least 20 to 30 people left in the bar at 6AM lol all still drinking.
