Trouble Reading SAV-A & P's

[Musicman51]

Ok Dale and billyo, i think i have this figured out. Here are a few examples of my screens. I am taking the original CD+G's and putting them in my CD rom drive. These are not backup disc, these are the original disc. George

Are you playing them directly from the CD or are you importing them with Microstudio to play these examples?
This is not the same as the Title page as that is totally unreadable do to the way they interlace the graphic.
It looks to me like the discs may be getting scratched or slightly dirty. Try cleaning them before you play or import them.
One thing is if you import them with Microstudio (or Hoster) then MTU's error correction will catch most of this. You are aware that you can make copies from your KMA files too with Microstudio.
You don't need to re-import them into Microstudio to do that. Microstudio will convert KMA's, MP3+G, etc. into the correct format for burning to the disc.
Also if you do a "Duplicate Disc" I don't think that the error correction is set-up to work with that, so any dirt or scratches on the disc will create the same mistake on the new disc.

Thanks Dale, i don't have MicroStudio on the same laptop as my Hoster for one thing. Hoster is all by itself on my show laptop, and i do not go online with that laptop except for upgrades to hoster. These examples are right from inserting the actual original disc into the CD Rom tray, and clicking play. That simple. These were not like this on the last version of MS. Everything was fine all the way around untill this upgrade. I'm going to still...give this upgrade yet another chance before i dump it. Going back to tweeting. These disc are in prestine condition, as are all my CD+G's. Thanks George

Try importing a disk into Microstudio. That may clean it up. you could also copy some of your KMAs to a flash drive or CD and move them to that machine to see if they work ok.

Are your KMA files on the C: drive on the laptop or an external drive?

My KMA's are on my external hard drives dale, i have 3 external hard drives, all for karaoke only. I use Microstudio mostly for making custom karaoke disc, which i take along with me to some of my friends karaoke shows in the area. I also use Microstudio for making backups, and for of course making CD+G disc of what i create in KH Pro.

So it's a very important production tool for me. That is why it must work correctly. All i can say dale, is the last version worked perfectly for everything i needed it to do, no matter what brand of disc i fed it. This upgrade sadly will not. So i will work a little more with it, before i go back to the last version. Tomorrow i plan on hooking up my other two CD Roms to it, just to see if it behaves any differently. One drive is an external MTU Certified, one is not. We'll see if they will read my SAV's... we'll see.....George

If your KMA files are on an external then just move the drive to this machine and access them from Microstudio. If those play clean (and they should) then you can make your discs from those files. When MS burns them to a disc they are converted back to the same format as the originals.
