khpro audio problem-music choppy

[Vi Harris]

Love your program and been using successfully for a year. Now, when I import the .wav file and start to create new song, the music is garbled, choppy, stutters making it impossible to place lyrics. Tried several files, same result, even opened completed songs that before, played fine and now they even play back "stuttery". I can't think of another word to describe how the music sounds. What could be wrong?

Do you have Microstudio?

If so, do the same CDG tracks play ok with Microstudio ?

If so, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling KHP?

George, thanks for responding. I have Microstudio, but never used it. I bought the whole package not realizing all I wanted was KHPro, although I have used Vogone. I tried to import the track in Microstudio as you suggested, but I can't get the .wav file to show. I clicked on the folder where they are located and clicked on the option .wav, but can't can't seem to figure it out. I don't see how that could be related. How can uninstalling /re-installing fix my problem? I haven't had a problem untill today.

What versions of these programs are you using? Only the latest versions of Microstudio will play WAV files.

The question is have you installed or changed anything since you last used KHPro? If so try restoring back to a date prior to that, to see if it caused the problem.

Microstudio will play Karaoke files(.cdg or .bin depending on the version you have) and is what you want to look at, not .wav files. You said completed Karaoke files that once worked are now problematic in KHP.

Select PLAY tab, USE HARD DRIVE. ADD TRACK, navigate to the folder where your Karaoke tracks are, select one that won't play in KHP, and see if you get the same results, or if it plays without any problem.

If it doesn't play in MIcrostudio either, then there probably is something gone wrong in your system..... settings, etc..

If it does play, uninstall and reinstall KHP, as there's a possibility something glitched KHP.

It's a good first place to start the diagnostics.

George, I uninstalled/re-installed....no help. I still couldn't get a track to load in Microstudio as you suggested. I tried the cdg, bin and wav. I guess I haven't mastered the learning curve yet. However, in my frustration to find something to fix my problem, I downloaded the khpro v4107 update and although the enhancements did not appear to have anything to do with audio problems, voila! it seems to have corrected mine. I don't know what it could have changed in relation to audio, but for now, the problem has corrected itself. Thanks for your help

Hey, what works works Glad you got her going.

If you don't mind a suggestion, get familiar with Microstudio. It's a powerful Karaoke tool.

Open the program, click on HELP, open the Manual, and just look through the features listed on the main page...you won't be sorry you invested a few moments time.

Take care,
George
