OK, you're right and I and 10,000 live sound professionals are wrong.
P.S. check out the resale price for an SM58 vs. a PG58.

I don't really care about the resale price at all, as that doesn't really have anything to do with my choices. Not exactly sure where the "wrong" part comes in. I'm getting two wired and two wireless... what is "wrong" about that?
Seems to me the best of both worlds... singers that prefer the wired mics can use those, and the singers that like wireless can go that route.
Are you trying to suggest I'm wrong because I don't go all wired? That's just plain silly.

You said you were buying a wireless with a PG58 head. I suggested the SM58 head instead, still wireless. It will improve the sound, and have higher resale value. Difference in price is $30.00 or so, and the difference in resale value will be greater.

BruceFan4Life @ Sun Mar 01, 2009 10:45 am wrote: I'm beginning to believe that it might have something to do with the speed at which the discs were burned. I was having a problem with my Yamaha burner for a while so I was using a PLEXTOR burner whose slowest burn speed was 4X as opposed to the 1X speed of the Yamaha burner. I believe some of these older RSQ/JVC karaoke machines have a hard time reading discs that are burned at higher than 1X speed. I'm not positive but that is what I'm leaning towards. I took my Yamaha burner apart and cleaned the laser lens and it seems to be burning discs again without bad spots in the graphics so I can burn any newer discs at the 1X speed again. The only other thing I could think of is that I have made some home made tracks and maybe these JVC type machines don't agree with the way these CDG tracks are produced, but they seem to play everywhere else on every other type of karaoke player.
I use a Plextor for creating my burns, and I am (still) using the Goldenhawk software that I installed several years ago. I burn at a 4x speed all the time, and I haven't had a problem on anyone's CDG player or DVD player. The only problem I ever had with the burn speed was that at faster speeds, my CDG player could not read the index properly within the discs on playback.... It would play the last 2 or 3 seconds of the previous track number instead of the track number that I selected, and then stop.... I had to put my player in a CD mode (so that it continued to the next track and the next track, etc...) as vs Karaoke mode (where it would stop when it got to the end of the selected track).

I tried the new (4.x) version of Hoster, and found it's rotation handling and marquee to be very klunky compared to Compuhost. I don't really care about any rotation handling. I prefer to do that myself since there is a lot of adjusting going on during the night. I also prefer the "list of singers" between songs as opposed to a scrolling marquee. Did I mention the songbook export feature is really sweet? I wonder where they got that? Using Compuhost makes rotation adjusting a breeze. C, why would you prefer to have singer lists between songs instead of scrolling along the bottom or top of the screen? Anyone can glance at the screen at any time and see who's next and so on.
