Mixing filler music between singers?

[billyo]

i have never used a music filler in any of my shows,lets face it how long does it take for the next singer to get on the stage? i always let the the music play through till the next singer comes on and i just use my boards fader.. and i have several vdj software, hercules mk2, pcdj and mixmeister fo strictly djing..this is my opinion, thats why i bought hoster strictly for karaoke not for djing ,if i wanna dj i use my other programs...this in my opinion will elliminate some prblems...

Try experimenting with Javascript.You can design a simple web page for the intermission to include a mp3 script player with fade in and even have a slideshow to music.I´ve tried it and it works great.Use a random mp3 player script(there are enough freebies out there).Unfortunately can´t help if the Karaoke track ends with a long silence then you have to manually stop track before website loads.Just play around with webpages.If you rename your mp3s to a video format recognizable by media player and play them you can use the media player visualizations for example.Trial and error and some fun along the way.

Depends on the size of the club. If I got people in the back of the room with a packed house (big club), it can take up to 30 seconds in an extreme max. Usually avg 'long' time is about 15 seconds. If a song has a long outro, I use this as my fill music, if a song has an abrupt end, then the fill gets bumped up while the next singer is making their way.
