1) I am also one of those who can hear the difference between MP3 and CD But when they are ripped at 256 or higher that difference is very slight and pretty much noticed only by the host.
2) And as was pointed out to me many years ago, "it is karaoke music, so the vast majority of the songs pretty much suck anyway". Many karaoke songs are produced on the computer anyway, so you really don't have all that great of a production to begin with!
3) I agree with your statement that there is no versus here, but it seems every other post you make has something to do with the detriments of being computer based and the advantages of disc.
4) If you love PCDJ Red and it's karaoke attachment then you would be blown away by Karma or even Sax & Dottys!
5) As for explaining another viewpoint! Please, everyone of us were disc based long before we were computerized, at least speaking for myself! I know that having been on both sides of that fence that I would never want to start carrying in players and disc again.
Personally if you want to look at it then there is really only one pure form of karaoke and that is using the Laser Disc!:sqwink:
1) Some were, some were higher, and some were .wav
2) Disagree. Some of the tracks are actually BETTER than the originals. Listen to Memorex's At Last....
3) Correct, simply because I prefer disc to PC. The other posts all speak of the benefits of PC and the detriments of discs. What's the problem?
4) If I LOVED PCDJ/KJ Red and the PC, I'd still be using them. I said that the program does all that I need- and it does. Don't LOVE it though.
EDIT: Ooops, I DID say I love it in the other post. What I meant was that it was not any part of the reason for me switching back...
You gave me an idea for another thread though....
5) The other viewpoint is merely a reminder, not new info.
As for laser discs- got plenty of money sunk into them too!
Another reminder: I've done ( mixing DJ and Karaoke here) Vinyl, cassette, laser, CD, AND PC. If something was a genuine help to my business, I moved to it. If something comes up that WILL be a genuine help, I will move to it as well. Please keep in mind that the "luddite" label is half a joke. I am an EE and ET, and have no fear of the cutting edge, and indulge in other parts of my life...
