About to scream

[gotrich]

I have tried to figure this out. if i click the low button and take out the vocals till I dont hear it. then I do the highs. then I hit vogone play button and the vocals are back like hes in a tin can... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

Results depends on how the recording was made at the studio.

If you keep doing what you're doing, and you are still hearing an "echo", the singer's track either may not have been recorded stereo "center panned", or even if it was, you may have removed the lead, but are hearing reverbs that were added in the studio, and are not center panned.

Either situation will produce the results you describe.

MTU is the only company I've seen so far that is honest enough to promote their product as a vocal reduction/removal tool, because in these instances complete removal just doesn't happen, and on many mono recordings, there's hardly any noticable difference to the average human ear.

Hope this helps preserve your sanity

ok I found a few songs that it worked on. one is a duet. How do I change the Color for the singers?

[George]

Glad you had some success with Vogone.

There is presently no way that Karaoke Home Producer provides different text and sweep colors for duets.

Have faith though, as Kpro, which will have this feature as well as many others, is in the working.

Take care,

Ok I got some songs to work really well and I got he timing down and i converted it to CDG and I saved it to a disk and imported that disk and ID to hoster.. but now when they play in hoster the timing is way off. I was right in KHP but then in hoster im like 2.0 seconds off and the playback offset doesnt help at all....NOW WHAT?? LOL

[George]

Strange that the playback offset won't compensate.

Let's try adjusting your audio hardware accelerator.

Click START.

Click RUN.

Type in DXDIAG.

Click OK.

After everything opens up at the top of the page open SOUND 1

In the power left hand side of the page there's a slider next to HARDWARE SOUND ACCELERATOR LEVEL.

Move the slider one notch to the left.

Click SAVE ALL INFORMATION, close out, open Hoster, and see if there's any improvement, even using the PLAYBACK OFFSET.

If no change, repeat the process one notch at a time, as many times as necessary. If no change after moving the slider fully to the left,, put it back to one notch from the right and leave it there. That setting usually is optimum.

If that doesn't get it, then move over and make room for me up in that tree with you, 'cause I don't have another clue at the moment..

could it be some setting in the KHP as I am setting the songs timming?

Also by to the left you mean less acc? Right?

[George]

Correct, to the left is less accelleration. Most tkimes the default is wide open to the right, but sometimes that causes an out of sync situation with lyrics.


I can't think of anything in KHP since the finished track plays correctly when played back in KHP.

I think you are running into the 16 bit problem. What you must do is open your Display settings, and change the colors to 16bit instead of 24bit or 32bit.

You do this by Right clicking on the Desktop, where there is no Icon, then left click the Properties button.

Left click the Settings Tab, then change the colors on this tab to 16 bit.

Now try Exporting the file again and see what happens.
