beginning of song is missing

[karaokeclub]

I downloaded a MIDI file, bought a software program and converted it to a .wav file. Ran it through Vogone and saved it. When I add it to KHPro, and hit "play my song", the first 5-6 seconds of the song are missing. The Vogone version plays fine with Musicmatch Jukebox and Windows Media Player. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm cold on the version 2 and 3 operations as KHPro is now at 4.103 version. However, look for the Settings dialog boxes where you select to use or not use Title Page (also Lyrics and Credits page). There is a Delay setting to allow delaying when the music starts playing to adjust for slow graphic images. Try adjusting this... if you find it. Also, try disabling the Title Page altogether and see what happens. Again, I don't have access to these old versions currently so I may be wrong.

I'm not sure why you are running a downloaded midi through vogone. Do you mean MP3? or some other "compressed" file. A midi file, and correct me if I am wrong (I'm sure you all will!!), while not taking much space is not a "compressed" version of an original performance. It is created electronically and with the right software certain parts can be removed. (turned-off actuallY) There are no recorded voices. (voices in the sense of human singing)

I'm sorry, I ran the "midi - converted to .wav" file through keyrite, not vogone.
However, I tried taking out credits pages and still the same result, clipping of the first several seconds of the song.
I don't understand because the file plays perfectly in my Musicmatch Jukebox and Windows Media Player

also the end of the song just "bubbles" the last notes as if like a record was skipping. not sure what to do. this is the first problems I have had with the KHP program. Do any upgrades to the program have a MIDI converter with them?

Microstudio, and KHP when playing files both have problems playing them to the very end. In the case of KHP and wave files, if you edit the files by adding a few seconds of silence then that normally fixes the problem. You are mentioning problems at the beginning and the end. Although I have not experienced problems like this at the beginning, I suspect that it could be due to a lack of silent space before the music starts. Do you know how to add silence at the beginning or end of a wave file?? When you create a CDG of the funny sounding file, does it play allright on Microstudio?
