1. Sound Choice - Hands down in the quality of rendition department. I have known them to mess up a few but for the most part, they are right on. The down-side is that they are VERY expensive and the company seems to be just a bit pig-headed about how they don' like computers and such. :(
DK - Most renditions were almost as good as Sound Choice but I never liked that guide flute, (or what ever it was called). Sometimes it even got louder than the singer. Too bad they went out of business. :( Pop Hits - I'd use them if a Sound Choice version isn't available. Pocket Songs - Some of the worst rendition I have ever heard. I sometimes wonder if these guys even bothered to listen to the original recording before trying to make a re-creation. Admitidly, I only purchased one disk but, that one disk was so bad, I never tried any others. All Hits - Again, I'd use them if a Sound Choice version isn't available. Sweet Georgia Brown - I'll buy these again, only under duress. Most of the renditions are poor quality and the way they scramble their songs on different CD's sent my blood pressure over the top. You want to add a SGB CD to your song-book? You better verify EVERY SINGLE SONG..... And make sure the artist is correct..... Especially on their "Set's". Music Meistro - The first time a tried "Come Sail Away" by "Styx", I got totally disoriented when I went into the second verse and the music jumped into the refrain!! This wasn't just the radio version as opposed to the album version, they just flat dropped the whole second verse. I was so ratteled that I couldn't even finish the song. :( Karaoke Classics - Not too bad but, their rendition of "Macarthur Park" by "Richard Harris" is missing the second verse too. Chart Buster - Again, I'd use them if a Sound Choice version isn't available. JMHO

Anyone Familiar with NuTech....HELP
Question to any who will reply. I have the 63 disc NuTech set I bought used... is there any documentation listing the tracks that contain vocals? I really like some of the tracks, but I have been burned by putting singers up and then BAMM - the vocals kick in. So, everytime I find one of these vocal tracks, I delete it from my songbook. They keep popping up however. If anyone has information on how to identify these without listening to every track on the 63 cd set, I would most certianly appreciate your input. BTW, I think the same is true of Backstage...

disc mfg & series
list is right on, but sav for the price can be ok we started out with them. most songs suck but some are very good. and you get a good mix of titles you cant get anywhere else. as far as MM goes I Love them. they are consistent and i have two Elvis Impersonators who sing with me from time to time, and they told me. MM is the standard among Elvis Sound alikes. just my 2 Cents worth. Bob

As am Elvis impersonator myself, I find most of us prefer the chartbuster for accuracy in music. The lyrics are sometimes changed, but for the most part we don't need them anways.
I do it MY WAY. |

I am the King and I like SC and Pioneer CDG's for my Elvis songs! My Elvis "American Trilogy" (on SC) is killer. I will share my mp3 of me performing it upon request.

Re: Disc Mfg And Series - Rate Them!
Hello All,
Just a couple of thoughts. First as far as lyrics are concerned, I think a lot of lyrics are transposed by people who don't have English as their first languge (I don't mean Americans he! he!) Incidentally how good are lyrics in say, Spanish? I often have a good chuckle over some of the more obvious errors. Perhaps a few examples could be posted. Being English I often buy CD's with tunes by artists unknown in the UK but hits in the US, just never made it this side of the pond. So it's gratifying doing different versions of songs rather than sticking slavishly to the one original. I realise this is sacrilege to the Elvis or Frank singers. I also think using a UK disc adds a different slant when sung in the US. I love it when people ask about a certain artist or song they have never heard but which has been big in the US. As I've said before as long as Karaoke is sung, everyone is going to have their favourites and hates. Just as well we're not all the same. Regards from across the pond, Garry |

Re: Disc Mfg And Series - Rate Them!
I know there are not a lot of kj who use as much as we do but here is the plus side to this
we put everything we have out there for people to sing I don't care if its a bad version to me or not and here is why we do this don't you as a kj or even a singer get tired of hearing the same song sung by the same singer so here is what we have been doing say some one sings my way we have it 15 times so this is were the fun starts we have a place were people don't try to be stars so this works there each week the singers sing a diff version of the same song it kind funny they have funny with this it my be a little slow or a little deeper then what they are use to so they sing deeper every gets a kick out of this some time the singer will ask us to step it up 2 keys so they sing like chip monks this one show is such a fresh show to do because every one does not take it like this is star search and the funny part about this is 75% of the singers are dam good singers this bar has the rep of having the best singers in Washington but they come there and have a ball its not who can sing the best but who can sing the funniest and still sound good that is the flip side to putting all your songs in hoster and not just the ones you the kj think should be in there and out off all the singers each one has found a diff version that they like better then the one they sing all the time maybe a little faster or diff key that works for them so in a nut shell who is to say what is better or not it should be up to the singer to pick the version they like to sing and the only way they can do that is to sing them all now I know you guys say the book gets to big to put it all in we are about to change all that for you in the near further you will never look at a #### again see ya mike |

If this hasn't been said before, Radio Starz are great for Garth Brooks songs.

I have seen and heard "don't stop Dancing" and "weathered" on top tunes. THe first is also available on other brands and I have listened to a couple other brands' version of Don't stop dancing and top tunes was closest to creed's version in audio quality as well as note for note. |

Re: Disc Mfg And Series - Rate Them!
you're dancing around the fact that Sound Choice is the best And Chart Buster is up next to them above the rest.
