Recording singers with microstudio

[kmiller]

Singers are singing to karaoke only. There should not be legal problems with this. No CD's made of singers. Thank you for the reply. I believe my hook-up should be non amp. Thanks again.

Seems somewhat ambiguous. If no cd's are being made of singers, why record them?

Anyway, what Dale told you about legality applies to karaoke backing tracks (if that's what you meant by "no CD's made of singers"), as well as full original audio tracks.

Karaoke tracks are still copywritten material.

Some karaoke hosts record the singers and play the recording as the next singer is coming to the stage. The singers sometimes get a great thrill when they hear themselves. I think it might run some folks off, but in a few bars I go to, the crowd loves it.

As the next singer sings, it is recorded over the last one. Therefore it is gone forever, and isn't given to anyone.

Thanks for the info. Really not a bad idea.

George,
I have been doing this too recently using a freeware that records quite well. Playing back just enough so they can hear themselves for less than a minute or so.

Most ppl like it, you get to learn the ones that don't.
