AllyMusicGirl Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 David - please don't move this yet, I'm in a bit of a jam. So, I will keep this short and sweet. Being the Creative Director here at work, (yes, I do have a job!) My boss has assumed since I am also a budding musician & recording arts semi-professional that somehow that makes me a karaoke guru. So I have to locate Mac based software so I can run the office karaoke stage this year. Damn it! Ok, so I have no idea were to begin. What software? Where do I get karaoke formated MP3's? What is this going to cost? Sorry to go WAY of topic but forum, I need some love here. HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yofi Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 google hire karoake in your area and charge the company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboy Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 That sounds like a good idea to me. There's more to running karaoke than just the software, you have to be a middle aged man who has all but lost the will to live. Otherwise it just won't work.

carrmar Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Look up "play (or burn) CD+G (or 'CDG') on Macs" in Google search. CD+G is the standard disc format for Karaoke machines. That should be a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob glow Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Sorry, late to the game as usual! Ally, I don't know if you found anything useable (or any files to use *with* it), but a quick search for 'karaoke software mac' brought up plenty of ideas. The best seeming to be http://www.kjams.com/ Like everyone else, I'd recommend just hiring some old guy in. Hey, then you'll get to enjoy the evening (as much as is possible with karaoke) rather than working at the party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunkadellic Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 word on the street is - if you can sucessfully punch in and out in logic while syncing to reason 4.0 karaoke songs just magically play from your mac..and the words appear on the nearest television....automatically imposed over pictures of landscapes....flowers and oceans..
