Admin, or dale, or whoever knows. Besides the song data base, will there be any advantage at all for the hoster lite guys to upgrade? If not, i'll upgrade now, and skip 5.0 Thanks much, George

If it was me George I would go ahead and upgrade now and then look at 5.0 when it is released. As Admin stated they are working on getting Tempo change working. The audio portion is working and they are working on sync changes that will have to work with that. To me that is one of the best items to recommend 5.0.

just wondering if it's possible to find out what are the diff. features added to the coming upgrade, i know that i might not get an answer to this question, but it's kinda good to know if i or anyone else needed these features in order to upgrade.

You are right that you won't get much until it is release. First they have to consider that they do have competition in the world of karaoke software. Second is if they say were are doing a particular feature and it doesn't work out then everyone is disappointed. So it is better to not say much until it is complete and working.

As most of the regulars on the forum that know me. Know my saying is, "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It". I last updated last august i think it was. Hoster is working like a NASA space program. Knock on wood, a freeze, or glich, or program closure, shut down, is just not in my vocabulary. Hoster has passed even my critical demands. I use it before my show on auto, after my show. I've closed it down, just to have a fella give me a $20 tip to reopen, and let him sing a song to his wife. Close it down, reopen. After running hoster for 6 hours straight. If it ain't broke...don't fix it.

However with that being said. Thats works for ME. The new feature upgrades on hoster are always state of the art improvements. I have most of mtu's programs, and in my home studio i can rewrite song lyrics, in different keys, different tempo's etc. But i highly recommend in most cases for most folks to grab those upgrades, and song data base updates. However i don't mind typing in my monthly's. Small price to pay for a stable hosting program.....

George You're Right... Hoster will offer any KJ the most stable program that is constantly evolving to satisfy the feature requests of their loyal customers, and the cutting edge requirements to stay ahead of the competition... I, like you, don't use or require all the new features that are in the developement stages... but that being said, it's nice to have all the bells & whistles that the latest program upgrades offer, and then use what I want, and kind of experiment with the others once my feeble old brain catches up with the need, or if my competition is offering something that I need to integrate into my show in order to stay on top! Plus I can always reload a favorite version, if I wish to have proof that all is working correctly before I use the latest version in a show! Upgrade!!! MTU won't put out a product that didn't get the proper testing... Now N.A.S.A... that's another can of worms!
