Title: Karaoke help
Post by: faza on August 09, 2006, 12:25:53 am
I am currently building a jukebox and intend to use VMJ (i like the look of it)
I am using a pioneer 150 watt amplifier and have yet to choose a soundcard (probably Creative not sure which one )
My question is how do i connect two microphones so that the jukebox will have karaoke
does it connect to the soundcard ?
Also the amplifier has digital in any suggestions on what soundcard to use.
Will post some pictures when i learn how

Thankyou

Well i use a seperate karaoke amp that i run the sound card into. This lets me plug 3 mics in and gives reverbe control and seperate mic levels. I then output to speakers from that.

The problem you will have will be that you will have no real control over the mic for reverb which is really required for karaoke. You could try and run some software called Guitar FX that lets you add reverb to the mic that goes into your sound card.

On my Jukebox I only use the PC to play the songs sound from the PC goes to a Karaoke mixer with the mics plugged` into that and then out to a amp. With a Karaoke mixer you can change key, drop vocals etc and it does not effect the speed of the PC.
