Cueing songs

[Smallan]

Can Hoster cue to a predetermined point in a song? For example, if a crowd is dancing and I want to sing 'Walk of Life' and start about 20 seconds into the song, cutting out the nebulous keyboard intro as I do with my second cdg player, how do I do it?

The way the program exist now, you can't. I've seen CDG players that will do this, but not without screwing the graphics up for a screen or two until the page refreshes.

Too bad. Makes for some long gaps sometimes. No problem of course when there's a wait for a singer to arrive from seat to stage but in a circumstance like I've described above........ What about two versions of the the software open simultaneously, like two players?

BTW, on a cdg player you don't have graphics page scroll problems if you play the song through to the desired cue point and pause.

You can open two Hosters if you so desire.

Why not employ the PAUSE button at the desired cue point in Hoster?

Sure, provided the next song can be cued and paused while the current song is still playing.

Here's an idea.... assuming that you already know all of the words to "Walk Of Life", why not just rip the track as an audio file (using Audiograbber or another sound software program), edit it to the start point that you want, convert it to an mp3 file and then play it back in Hoster? You won't get the words on the screen, but if you know the song well enough, you won't need them.
