beginning of song is missing

[karaokeclub]

I'm sorry, I ran the "midi - converted to .wav" file through keyrite, not vogone.
However, I tried taking out credits pages and still the same result, clipping of the first several seconds of the song.
I don't understand because the file plays perfectly in my Musicmatch Jukebox and Windows Media Player

also the end of the song just "bubbles" the last notes as if like a record was skipping. not sure what to do. this is the first problems I have had with the KHP program. Do any upgrades to the program have a MIDI converter with them?

Microstudio, and KHP when playing files both have problems playing them to the very end. In the case of KHP and wave files, if you edit the files by adding a few seconds of silence then that normally fixes the problem. You are mentioning problems at the beginning and the end. Although I have not experienced problems like this at the beginning, I suspect that it could be due to a lack of silent space before the music starts. Do you know how to add silence at the beginning or end of a wave file?? When you create a CDG of the funny sounding file, does it play allright on Microstudio?

This is exactly what will happen at the end of a .wav file that does not have sufficient silence at the end when played back in KHP, just as Jahern suspects.. It will take an audio editing program to correct this.

By the way what version of Khp do you have?

Guys,

Thanks for taking time to help! I don't know how to add "silence" at the end or begining of a .wav file. I'm sure I could do it with a little direction. My version of Microstudio is 2.315 I believe. This is my first experience in using the forums, but I have had the program for about 2 years.

KARAOKECLUB:

If that is in fact the problem, you would need some audio editing software.
I'm sure if you asked ten different people which to get, you'd get ten different answers, all valid.

I use Goldwave. It's simple to use and relatively inexpensive.

If you are going to be doing much with Midis, an audio editing program is almost a must.

I'd also strongly suggest Roland Virtual Sound Canvass. With it, you can change midis to suite your own taste, cut out lead instruments to produce true Karaoke tracks, and a host of other functions. You may already have something of that nature, dunno.

If you get Goldwave and get stuck I'd be glad to help where I can, and I'm sure if you get some other program, someone else will come forward and give you a hand.

Take care,

George

Please give us the Karaoke Home Producer version you are running.

Dear Admin,

When I click "about" KHP, it says 3.100 as the version.
I have also noticed that it does not recognize my Plextor 48/24/48A as a karaoke drive. Is there an update that will correct that?
Thanks
