Can you use Hoster to make CDG's

[Ramblin]

I am downloading all my discs into my hard drive using Hoster. I have some singers who are asking me to make them a CD of their songs. How do I create them with KMA files. Is there a way to use Hoster or Microstudio?

its coming in the next release. or is suppose to be in the next release.

If you mean recording the singer as they sing so they can hear themselves on the car cd player on the way home then, refer to Beavis's post.

If you mean, can you make a CDG from your KMA's to give to people to practice at home on their karaoke player or take to another show down the street, The answer would be that that's a violation of the license you agreed to when you installed the software, so I wouldn't recomend it!

This post was from August 2006, there have been several upgrades to Hoster since then. I have not seen anything that allows you to use Hoster to record a singer a karaoke song. Is this something that can be done in Hoster and how am I missing it if it is? This would be a great addition to Hoster. Right now I use a seperate recorder if my singers want there singing recorded.

This is slated for inclusion in Hoster 4.000 supposed to be out sometime this year. Microstudio has just been upgraded to include recording in version 4 and working now in version 4.001. There were some problems with it in 4.000.
However as Sam stated it is illegal for you to record your singers using your song files. If they bring their own disc, you import their song and record them singing to it, then this is legal.
When this is available you will have to have a slightly different wiring setup to record their voices, since the recording is done by the computer. There will need to be some way to get the microphone output to the computer microphone or line in input.

Dale,
If one takes a "rec out" or even an "aux send" from their mixer to the "mic or line" input of the computer, that should work, right?

Assuming the mics and "Hoster computer" outputs are sent to their respective channels in the mixer.
