[Vince Cravotta]

It's been a very exhausting weekend. Here are the results;
01. installed Microstudio on rental computer (not the temp version)
02. Checked the registry and deleted the upper and lower filters.
03. Used a flash drive to provide the 16 songs to test burn.
04. Moved them to the right side of page, played each one to be sure the files
were there
05. Moved them into the write disk page and put them in the order I wanted.
06. Hit the write disk button and within 6 minuets all sixteen songs were
burned and all played. (remember, nothing in computer system but the
OS and Microstudio).
07. Moved to my regular computer. Repeated steps 02 through 05.
08. Hit the write disk button and within 20 seconds the burner went off, the
error screen came on and another disk down the tube.
09. Uninstalled 11 programs from the computer. All the programs that had
anything to do with playing or writing to a disk. (See attached list.) I also
uninstalled microstudio rebooted and reinstalled microstudio.
10. Repeated steps 02 through 05.
11. Hit the write disk button and within 7 minuets all sixteen songs were
burned and all played.

I'll have to admit to D.Douglas, Bobcat and Marklwood that the burner
was not corrupt but, for sure it doesn't play well with the other kids in
my computer. I can't imagine that most who like to delve into karaoke
production and are still working 9 to 5 don't have 9 straight days to
devote to correcting the problem with this burner. I'm retired and 75
years old and I've put in some 15 or 16 hours a day trying to get my
computer working to keep my business going.

In doing work with playhouse groups putting their scripts and music onto
Karaoke form so that everyone on stage can see their parts and hear the
music for their songs without carrying scrips around, editing wedding films
and putting music backgrounds gets old. Installing a program for 4 or 5
hours, then uninstalling it to install a different software program to do a
different Job.

I bought Keyrite to change duets for my wife and I. I purchased the
new version and can't get it to work. Again I've spent hours fooling with.
I know that for the low proce of Keyrite I shouldn't complain but, I can
by a new software program that has a money back guarantee that it
will change a song to any key with no warbling, will remove all vocals from
a song and will allow you to send any two songs to them and they will
return them on disk so that you can verify their work. Of course it cost
$2500 dollars but they guarantee that it works.

I appoligize for my long windedness and the taking so much space in
this Forum. IF I've offended anyone I'm sorry.
Note: I couldn't get the attachment process to work.
