steveloveday...

Did you just purchase MicroStudio to make your Back-Ups?

If so, your in the wrong FORUM...This FORUM is for MTU'S KAROAKE HOME PRODUCER SOFTWARE.

Before purchasing, did you read the System Requirements of the program?

Do you have a Listed PLEXTOR CD-RW?

Hi
i have downloaded the demo verion of microstudio but it tells me that my drives do not support karaoke is the any driver that i could download to make it
i have a
Creative cd-rw rw8435E
and a samsung dvd drive

steveloveday......SORRY your Creative cd-rw rw8435E
and a samsung dvd drive won't work and there is NO WAY to make them work. Copying CDG's is HARDWARE DEPENDENT.

YOU MUST GET A PLEXTOR, MTU SELLS "CERTIFIED PLEXTOR CD-RW's". By CERTIFIED, MTU means that they have personally TESTED THE PLEXTOR CD-RW THEY SELL and they GUARANTEE it will work PROPERLY.

Also, you must us a VERY HIGH GRADE OF CD-R MEDIA, of course the VERY BEST IS THE SILVER CD-R'S THAT MTU SELLS.

Suggest you only use in this ORDER:

1. MTU SILVER
2. TDK
3. SONY
4. FUJI

ANY OTHER BRANDS, YOUR ON YOUR OWN AND "EXPECT" POOR QUALITY CDG'S.

REMEMBER, ALL CD-R MEDIA 'IS NOT CREATED EQUAL" YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

************************************************
ADDITIONAL: PLEXTOR CD-RW "CAN NOT COPY CDG'S THAT CONTAIN THE 'MEDIA CLOQ' COPY PROTECTION."

THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 3 OF 4 CD-RW'S THAT CAN SO THIS, THEY ARE OLDER UNITS AND YOU MUST USE SOFTWARE THAT CAN EXTRACT THE TRACKS AS SECTOR NUMBERS.

There is no way we can overcome a hardware deficiency with software. You must have a CDR drive that will read and write the CDG format.

Thanks Anyway

Just adding my 2 cents worth here.
If you're compiling your own CD+G disks from existing CD+G's
For example track 1 from disk 1 track 5 from disk 2 etc then the guys are right in what they are saying you need a plextor.

However if you just need to make an exact copy of an original disk for backup then you can use CloneCD 4 it works everytime and yes without a plextor.

I've used a Pioneer A104 DVD-R in CD Mode
and a Sony DRU-120A DVD+R in CD Mode both work fine
