Post subject:  Ripping Question
So, I haven't ripped any cdg's lately, and thought I would to try recording again.

(I've done it in the past on my laptop, so I know it's capable.)

I use AudioGrabber. I've tried 3 cdg's with the same result...

On all of them (literally every song from every cdg), the lyrics are all garbled. I've never had this happen, usually even if I'm doing it to remake a disc that has a slight scratch, AudioGrabber usually rips them just fine so I can burn them.

I'm not a techie person at all, what would cause this? Should I just delete and reinstall the program, or is there a better one out there?

:crying2:

On a side note:

Please don't talk to me about the legalities of ripping my own cdg's to my hard drive, it's just so I can record the songs... I'm not a KJ. :wink:

Try the CD+G Ripper from karaokeware (Maker of CompuHost). They overhauled their program to the latest technology. I haven't had a problem yet with garbled screens. The latest version even has a FreeDB query. Means, you don't necessary need their songbook program to save you time in typing all the tracks. Best of all, it is completely free! :D

Thank you.

Just downloaded it, figured out how to set preferences, and did the CDDB lookup (it named the songs all correctly :wink: ).... so it's ripping right now, I'll let ya know if it worked. I tried one of the same cdg's that was garbled from the other program:)

.... Seems to be a wee bit slower, it's only on song #6 out of 15. :wink:

But I don't normally rip a whole disk, and usually only insert the mp3 into my recording program anyhow... so if they're clear, I'm good with this.

Well, for crise sake, I was in a bit too much of a hurry... didn't set the output file format correctly, they wouldn't play.

Deleted the ones it had done, cancelled the job, reset it to the right format, and I've checked the first 4 it ripped...... perfect:)

Thanks a ton.

I moved into an apartment, and haven't even bothered to set up my home system (they'd kick me out, i'm sure :D ).... so my pc programs will be the only way I have to practice new stuff.

Easy program to use, and seems to be doing it fine, so case closed. Again, thanks for helping.

So.... neighbors beware, I'm hooking up my mic and headphones. :wink: :wave:

I actually prefer Power CD=G burner for a ripper to audiograbber. Im not familiar with the one that Severin suggested, might be a good one as well. Power CD+G Burner has a rip and a copy function that works well.

Thanks mrscott..... I tried this CDGRip, and it seems to work ok. It is slower it seems than Audiograbber. But, then again, I ripped the whole cdg and I don't normally do that. It worked- no garbles- so that's good enough for now. I don't do this very often, I usually just insert the wav off the cd into CEP and just sing along- I have no way to actually "play" it as I'm singing into CEP. Well, until here comes Vicki with a suggestion. :wink: If I do try and record one I don't have the lyrics memorized on, I just "pause" the karaoke file in sax n' dottys (with the sound muted) until I get to that point on the wav file that's inserted in CEP until it catches up... then I "unpause" it so the lyrics are there (maybe not perfectly in time) but, there all the same. Yeah, I know, I have a crazy bass-ackwards way of doing things. But I don't normally need to call on the cdg file anyhow.

Well, don't keep a woman waiting:) :allears: Over the last couple days, I've been playing around with recording a bit, and I've realized that I am NOT a good mixer, at all. So dang, if I end up subbing again, you all will have to bear with me. :| It's just something I never got the hang of.. usually, the vocal to music mix is helter skelter. That's the main reason I'd never KJ... I'd rather have someone else do all that stuff so I can just "sing". haha, how lazy is that?

btw Vicki, I think I have a really old version of it, CEP... version, uh, hold on...

CEP Ver. 2.1..... isn't that a realllly old version? It may not have that option. But hell, I don't know half of what it has, I still have much to learn. (5 years using the program and still an idgit!)

I had the jumbled up lyrics when I used audiograbber also. I went with powerCD+G and havent had any issues since.

I also like PowerKaraoke's CD&G Burner and love it. tested audiograbber, CDGrip V1 and powerkaraoke and only PowerKaraoke lyrics came up clean. V2 of CDGrip is comparable to PowerKaraoke because they added error correction to it.

Free..... is good.

Free AND uncomplicated..... even better.

Now if I can only find a recording software that self-detects what vocal effects I need and what volume levels to mix the 2 tracks at, I'll be set;)

Hi Folks

I also like the powerkaraoke prog. It rips faultless everytime, it will get the track details from the internet and you can customise how the file is saved i.e Disc-Track - Artist - Title etc. It will also rip to Zipped ( I think) but I`ve never tried this. Its not expensive I thinks its around £20.00 and it can save you a lot of hassle.

Good luck

Paul
