Karaoke Tutorials



It's important to know that Virtual DJ handles only CDG files (audio +video) and no KAR files (midi + text).
The difference is that the CDG files have a higher quality because they are true musical bases, instead of KAR files,
CDG also can be: MP3 WAV + G + G + G WMA.
It 'important to know that for more convenience, these files can be « zipped ».
...................................
Inside the Browser Virtual DJ, Karaoke files are displayed in this way.


The "K" means that the desired file is a karaoke file..

This is the vision of the Virtual DJ Browser (version 4.3).................................................This is the vision of the Virtual DJ Browser (version 5.x)

.........................................

In the folder where the karaoke files are stocked, we always find two different files



The first one is an MP3 file and the second one, a CDG file.
-The Mp3-file is the basis of the song ..... .
-The CDG file is a kind of library which contains the words of the song .......
The two files can be renamed, it is just important for this two files to have the same name (like in the picture)
because if the two files are named in a different way or are not in the same folder, VirtualDJ will only play the musical file.
It won’t display the words to sing, or even nothing on the browser .....

When you’ll load the file there will be no image displayed



Clicking on Video ( "A"), images will appear......
Some skins do not have this button, to solve this problem, press the Config Button ( "B")
and open the settings window.

There, you’ll tick ACTIVATE
A Click on OK and we have displayed the words of Karaoke file






Right now we are not able to project images yet,
the program is in the defalut mode (Window)
The only solution is to adjust the video card and create an Extended Desktop
or with a graphic card or an ATI Radeon video card.
Choose the in the Settings / Video drop-down menu the the computer's video card



In this manner the "VirtualDJ Video" window will close and will get the signal of the VGA port
Allowing us to connect the projector ....



Then you will want to make the TITLER effect more beautiful
which adds the title of the song automatically
and the ShowLogo v2 video effect that allows you to insert an self-created image (like a TV logo)



After that, I think that’s all .............

Good Karaoke evenings to everyone .........

Last important advice
when you want to organise a karaoke night and sing, do not forget the mentos .............
