Karaoke Forums

You are out of line here. I didn't ask about VDJ I ruled it out a long time ago along with other software I found too hard to use. If I can't make sense of some brands I move on.

Virtual DJ may be all that, just interesting if they want people to accept it as serious for karaoke, maybe they should at the very least have the word karaoke at least ONCE on their website. It states nothing karaoke related in any fashion.

I would never go to the VDJ forum and try to flaunt Karma there. That would be about as ridiculous as a dj coming to this forum and trying to flaunt VDJ as a serious karaoke host to veteran kjs here.

I am happy as can be with Karma and I have no need or intentions on changing that. If the djs at the VDJ forum are happy with VDJ as a karaoke host, that's great for them and I wish them all the best with it. I really do.

Out of curiosity, I visited the VDJ website to read about what kind of karaoke improvements they made to VDJ8. I couldn't find any information there so then I decided to go to their forum to see the rave reviews about how great VDJ8 is for karaoke. All I could find was this:

http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/189611/VirtualDJ_8_bug-report_Forum/karaoke_is_still_garbage_on_vdj8_.html

Hmmm, maybe I "should" go over there and tell them how great Karma, Compuhost and Hoster are. (Just kidding )

Here's another interesting thread I ran across on the VDJ forum. It talks about adding singers to the singer list. From the way it is described here, it sounds exactly the same as Sax & Dotty's Show Presenter. Although that program was fine for me when I first started out, I just can't revert back to that way of doing things. Karma is leaps and bounds ahead of Show Presenter and as I am reading more and more in the VDJ forum, Karma is even further ahead of VDJ8 for karaoke...

...but I already knew that. Anyway, here's the thread if anyone is interested:

http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/187645/VirtualDJ_8_bug-report_Forum/Karaoke_Singers_List.html

I love VDJ as a djing program. It is my personal favorite, but saying that it is a superior karaoke hosting program over the established professional ones is just not based in realty.

If it can do all those things, and I stated I couldn't find them, why not explain how to do them? Isn't that what help forums are for?

If you really want to sell it....then sell it with information.

Yuk, Yuk, Yuk, sorry for upsetting you boys, just trying to let ya know what going on in today's world. I'll leave you, in the dust, now. But, before I go, for any of you new comers that are wondering what software to get for your programs, take a look at VDJ. It'll give you everything you need to stay abreast with today's changing times, as well as tomorrow's needs as well.

OMG!

I'm not upset at all, but yes please just leave because you have offered nothing but hype with no substance. I tried to give your viewpoint a fair chance. I just can't find any real information on the claims you make and you yourself don't even offer any real information to back anything you've typed.

Actually, you can stay or go, it really doesn't matter to me because I already have a successful karaoke business using some of the best tools available for karaoke on the market. I feel sorry for any newbies who may be reading your hype and thinking there is any truth to what you say. So glad I am way beyond falling for hype these days.

Me thinks mrgrumpy is one of the lieutenants from VDJ & was instructed by the CEO to post something here & try to convince us that vdj’s the greatest invention since sliced bread.

mrgrumpy: “But sir, KS is a karaoke forum, it would be a tough sell telling them our program is better”.

CEO: “Well, you know what to do. Use our power of persuasion. If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bulls**t”!


Goodbye, mrgrumpy!

Your comments would carry a lot more weight if you didn't insult everyone and act like everyone else's opinion didn't matter.

Chris isn't a stupid man, he's built a successful multi-rig karaoke operation from absolutely NOTHING in less than a year and a bit.

Lonman has been a success in the karaoke industry for over twenty years.

I don't know how long Mr. Brian A has been doing karaoke, but he doesn't seem to be complaining about how he is doing either.

How long have you been running a successful show that does karaoke? Are your shows regularly packed to capacity?

You say that the software you use does everything these people has asked about. Great.. Prove it and give some detailed instructions on how to accomplish it.

Although i would have to say if people like those you have insulted can't figure it out, then it must be so obscure and complicated, it isn't WORTH figuring out.

The best test of a piece of software, in my opinion, is can you figure out how to get it to do exactly what you want, without even reading the help files or manuals.

So to summarize, put up or shut up. Either way is just fine with me.

Tricerasoft had a software that did what VDJ could do but has abandoned it for JustKaraoke 2.0 which is a gem at the price they are selling it for. It's worth more than they are selling it for because it has most of the bells and whistles that Compuhost does and one or two that Compuhost doesn't. It has a store where you can buy on the fly your new songs as well as the ability to place an animated background behind the lyrics.

Life's been good to me (so far), no complaints would be classified as justified. Retired after 22 years in the military, another 20+ years doing what I’m passionate about - karaoke, collecting monthly Navy pension, collecting monthly social security, no day-job. Simply Awesome!

I tried about 10 different Karaoke brands and neared to two that I liked best. That's all. I didn't want to start a war, just a little help. I used to DJ but no more. I don't like 3 to 5 hour guessing games on that folks what to dance to. That's want I like about Karaoke the singers decide what to sing and I just make it happen and I get to sing too.

I feel the same way. I would much rather deal with the when am I up nexts than guess what people wanted to dance to.

I agree! been there, done that, ex-mobile dj. No more of that. I’d rather just worry about rotation & the sound mix one singer at a time than hear lots of song requests coming from all angles in a wedding party. Too many bosses, the groom, bride, parents, best man, wedding coordinator, etc. “I want you to play my song now”. Sound familiar?

You know it!!!! I told them at the RV park we stay in all winter that I would not under any circumstance do the DJ thing. They said fine we'll do it. After that night the two gals said they would never do it again and asked how did you ever do it for so many years. I just told them for the good of the club!!!! The ten things you should never ask a DJ where the most asked. I have had enough of that crap......

I do ask if anyone whats a request. I don't mind if someone has something they want to hear if I can sing it well. I love it if folks get up to dance when I sing. That to me is the biggest complement I can think of.

Yuk yuk yuk. Not upset in the least, sorry you cannot backup claims it's the best for karaoke with nothing to show on a website that mentions nothing about karaoke. Sorry, just not seeing it.
I'd be willing to set up a show side by side karaoke show with you and VDJ 8 and me using my antiquated karaoke hosting program and separate dj program and see who's dust will be in who's face.
