Copy and record a mix of Audio and CD+g tracks

[George]

SONGBIRD,

To import a .wav file and play it as a cdg you need only have CDG selected as the type of file when importing to the hard drive. It will then play as a cdg file.

More complicated to create a cdg from a .wav that's on the hard drive.

You have to make a complete CDG file in KHP to do this with a .WAV file from the hard drive.

Open KHP, and import the .WAV file by clicking ADD MUSIC.

Now click IMPORT LYRICS and import any small text file

Now HIGHLIGHT AND DELETE all but the first word of the text file.

Now click EDIT, then SETTINGS.

Now unclick the title and credits pages.

Now go to the LYRICS page and make certain that the BORDER, BACKGROUND FONT COLOR AND SWEEP COLOR are ALL THE SAME SETTINGS, preferably black

Click OK.

Go to PLACE LYRICS SCREEN...you shouldn't see anything.

Click START, and once the music starts, tap the spacebar and click STOP.

Save the file in KHP.

Export the file to CDG.

You should now be able to open the file in Microstudio and play the file as a cdg with a blank screen.

Hope this helps,


George

You start a new project, then add your wav. (There is an "Add Music" button)

Of course, if you burn a cd with the wave, all you need to do is import the track from the burned cd in Microstudio as .Bin or .cdg

That step doesn't matter if it's a new project, only if you want to open an existing project or create a new project using a saved template do you need to go through FILE.

I said "you start a new project". I didn't say what buttons to push (except that adding the music, once the project is started is the ADD MUSIC button). As a quick response to Songbird, I wanted to emphasize that turning a wave to cdg with KHPRO did not involve "Open"ing the wave file. There are other ways to get the desired CDG file. (Burning a cd and then importing the track as cdg), but in the interest of not making throwaway discs, I'm trying to help, using the KHPRO method, which I have used on several occasions.

Perhaps I misread what you meant by "start a new project" . That gave the impression of a step that has do be done when all you have to do is open KHP and start adding files, which I covered in my post to SONGBIRD.

There are two methods and at first glance when I looked at your response to Songbird I thought you were addressing one. I thought that I was addressing the other. My error in not fully reading your response.

No problem here.

Hope you're getting along o.k.

Take care,

George
