Have you made your own karaoke tracks?

[CerealKiller]

I Wanna know more aobut making your own karaoke tracks?
Taking a Cd And Removing Vocals, an adding words.
Has anyone done this using khpro and vogone and how hard is it?
I want to know your views if you have done this?

I have done it a few times, sometimes it it very hard to remove the vocals on CDs.
all you can do is remove enough so you can barely here them.
but it is very easy to use KH pro to add the words and make your own karaoke song, people say they are amazed at us. as we can make songs that no one else has, just for them.
my first song took about 25 minutes, and it turned out great. the guy i made it for was a regular cust and he sings it all the time.
i have made about 10 songs so far, and i love Vogone and KH Pro. Bob

I've never had much luck with Vogone. I've been able to reduce the vocal on some CD's, but it has been very labor intensive.

I've made about 1,000 CDG's using Kpro and find it very easy to do. I use various instrumentals and add the lyrics. After setting the lyrics in MS Word and importing the music, it only takes a few minutes to create the CDG's, by simply tapping the space bar. It's great.

Vogone is the most flexible product on the market. It allows you to keep some of the low and high frequencies in the music that all other products would automatically remove because the instruments are center-panned with the vocals.

It also allows you to remove NON-CENTER PANNED vocals. No other product can do that either.

The Cardinal Rule of Product Development is:

Flexibility Is The Bane Of Ease Of Use.

More flexible products like Vogone are harder to use due to more "options".

HINT: If you read the manual, and understand Vogone's controls before you start, you'll do the best POSSIBLE job within a few minutes. I say "POSSIBLE" because there WILL BE varying results on each song.

Songs where there is a high level of reverb echo applied to the vocal track before it was mixed with the music will keep more "vocals". That is because no product on the market can remove reverb echoes. These always remain. That's what most folks complain about the "poor" removal on some songs.

Over our 39 years developing vocal removal products, we have done the absolute best that is possible at the price YOU... our honored Karaoke market customers... are willing to pay. If we evolved a "Pro" version, we'd have to sell it for $2,000 - $3,000 to the Studio market. MTU was the first to pioneer a Digital Audio Workstation (we coined the DAW name) so we have sold to this market before and know their needs.

We now are the leader in the Karaoke market, and thus must price accordingly. That makes it very hard to justify VERY LARGE development expenses... and stay in business.

Been using Vogone for a long time. Once you have a basic understanding of what can and can't be done with a mixed down track it's not that hard to do. With Vogone I just have about 3 standard settings that I test a track with and Vogone has the ability for me to listen to the results of each setting before moving forward with the process. If niether of these settings comes close to what I am willing to deal with then I just forget it and try to think of the next song that I would like to sing that isn't available on karaoke.

However if any one of these settings sounds good to me then I will play around a little to tweak it before I process it and then use it in KPro if I want to add lyrics.
