First Poll - Which Karaoke player u use

[robv2]

So, here's a little investigation, my friends.

Just to settle what kind of karaoke players are preferrable, so please don't spam this thread with commercials

[enTRAPment]

I don't use karaoke players. The only karoke I do is drunken karaoke.

[usafkisser]

Cakewalk Sonar works great for me...among doing other things..

[CyberCat]

Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 seems to work fine for me, although I admit I don't really use karaoke that much.

[Terry]

I use Van Basco and for the most part I like it. It has some major limitations, but is so easy and accessible even for computer illiterates like me. Terry

[ma'aam]

VanBasco works for me.....is my default MIDI player.

[NetGirl]

I use VanBasco too.....seems to be popular

[KingXII]

lol sorry this whole board has been tainted lol
When I start contests the I try to make sure everyone on a level playing field so I've tired quite a few of the karaoke players and vanbasco seems quite small for even people that don't have a fast computer but is easy enough for most people to use.
Actually Vanbasco is quite good I use it to play midis and kar files

[palmis]

I use Melody Assistant.

[pixelley]

Van Basco :)

[irphillips]

Seems vanbasco's is used by so many. Me too.

[TKanimation]

I use GPX. I bought it at Fry's Electronics. It was about $54.00 It plays CDG, CD, Tape, AM/FM. It's Great!!!

[Lizziloo]

Looks like ppl like Van Basco a LOOOT! hehe :p

[spoonman]

[KingXII]

you can find it at www.vanbasco.com
no you can not compose using this program it is only a player

[bu3abood]

Thank's

[THigh]

I use VanBasco and my children love it; anytime they don't know the words to a song, I see if I can find the .kar file - this site has been a really big help, by the way - and they have fun learning the lyrics. Me, too.

[Chibitoshi16]

Vanbasco is my fauvorite karaoke player, but it isn't a system for puntuations!!!!

[bell_maker]

i dont

[gothic_aniki]

yes i like it

[Ben_wade]

[jayrXP]

Try karawin. it's easy to use although there's an annoying popup if you want it free.

[lil_red315]

I use van bascos.

[MDiva3380]

I have to say I've never actually karaoke'd drunk... but it's really hilarious and fun to watch other drunk peopel karaoke haha

[Bakxs]

I see a bunch of peeps use VanBasco... how easy is it to use?

If it's on the powerful side--what would you recommend for a n00b?

Much thanks in advanced.

--Bakxs

[Bakxs]

Is it free ware, share ware or commercial?

--Bakxs

[Bakxs]

I jus' got the Van Basco software... it's awesome! But what would all recommend for MP3 + cdg files?

Any help would be great! Thanks in advanced...

--Bakxs

[grizzlyman]

Van Basco's tha best!

[MidniteBlaze]

Which is the best one?

[chocomog]

I've used vanbasco for the karaoke player, and for the midi search - its proved very helpful alot of the time!!!

but i dont really ever use the karaoke feature of vanbasco's - only use it to listen to midi's

[Rewrt]

Harmony Assistant kicked up a notch with Gold sound base and Virtual Singer, does other stuff too.

[theflash]

KaraWin e GoSing

vanBasco doesn't work perfectly in kar file is damaged

[cdurand54]

i use wingroove, it's marvellous;, I love it

[M_CoNnY_B]

i'd like van basco's karaoke too, it's... just the bestone

[Bowser]

I also use Vanbasco (and I don't know the other program)

[kolonel]

van Basco as well

[auspierre]

As a semi-professional musician using midi/kar files for backing, I have tried lots of different programs, including Van Basco. It is free and reasonably simple to use, but has some limitations.

I now use Karawin - the latest version allows you to play kar and mid files, reads directly from zipped files, and also plays wav and mp3 files including mp3 with id3 lyric tags.
It also has a "second voice" option which displays lyrics enclosed in square brackets in a different color - I use this for displaying chords.

Having now used this program for 3 years, I had a look at the latest Van Basco and it doesn't come close to providing the features I need.

[garschio]

VanBasco, obviously

[dv19mt]

I use VanBasco

[SpiderMax]

VanBasco :thumbsup:

[bigBOSS97]

I use my own one, not the best one. It's only in version one. So, there's a long way to go :-)

But I can use it to run slide show (while singing) for my digital photos and it allows me to mute the (vocal) melody which is detected automatically.

I can't mention the name of the player here because it's a shareware and commercial is not allowed

:thumbsup:

[jirolo]

van basco is a very simple program to view your .kar files

[justforfun000]

Van Basco is the best. It has all of those extra features that are invlauable.

[fidelio]

Definitely Van Basco, for midi karaoke.
It's probably the only bug-free midi karaoke player I've tried so far.
Karawin has more features, but is actually cumbersome and kind of buggy.

[pethenri]

I use Vanbasco's karaoke player and Midi-oke

[M1Dw1nT3r]

Van Basco ofcourse

[kewlies21]

i use van basco for karaoke and cakewalk 9 for midis :d

[karla23]

I love van basco's player- I use it all the time... but i'm still waiting for the newest version- what about changing the look of of-- something more modern maybe??

[Avi]

Vanbasco

[surfinjerry]

vanbasco is hot

[surfinjerry]

the one and only vanbasco

[gooseman271]

[=^..^=]

quicktime plays kar files? anybody heard about gosing?

[skaguy24]

van bascos

[trainrunna]

i use midi notate

[poolman712]

dont really use karaoke but vanBasco is my default midi player

[Voodoo1]

I use VanBascos, but sometimes I use the kareoke player on Jet Audio.it works as well, but the midi sounds dont render exactly the same as VanBascos or other players with the windows roland patch driver.

[toots82]

van basco is great and easy to use

[kim_eh]

Perhaps I should be checking out this Vanbasco....
