Re: Karaoke with Laptop only???
Compression helps keep a singer that is all over the place volume wise to a more consistent level. You set the compressor to a certain point (threshold) and if a singer gets over that point, the compressor automatically turns the singer down to stay under that threshold.

Although you will need to figure out what outputs you have. Most older laptops have an S-Video output that kj's used for the 2nd screens, but todays laptops only have either VGA, DVI or HDMI outputs - so you will need to either convert the signal so older TV's can be used or if the clubs are using newer TV's, have the VGA, DVI or HDMI cables long enough. Also I have heard (never had to try myself) that the HDMI outputs do not work as extended screen and still leave the main laptop screen working for host.

I misread your post on the mics and you are correct. I was only thinking about total mic outputs. I tried using a HDMI output for my monitor, but it didn't work for me! I just use my VGA output...

Re: Karaoke with Laptop only???
Do you use an adapter or is the tv VGA ready?

Re: Karaoke with Laptop only???
Most of todays flatscreens have VGA input on top of almost every other input made.

Heck, no matter the brand, I think they are all made in China. At least, that's where the parts come from even if they are "assembled" in the USA...

Re: Karaoke with Laptop only???
Using the VGA, you would need a converter or something to split out to the house TV's as well as the singer screen correct?

Definitely! I have one I use at a friend's house to hook up to his TV, but I "never" hook up to the house system of TV's. I prefer that only the singer see the screen. I don't like the audience singing along and not looking at the singer... (Just a personal preference)

Re: Karaoke with Laptop only???
The HDMI works OK for me on the extended screen, that is what I use at home but at venues I actually still use the vga converter to rca video to connect up my gear as it doesn't generally involve fiddling around the back of the venue monitors, the rca video is normally on the side or bottom of the sets.
