Selling karaoke songs to karaoke song companies...

Post by Dan Barnes »

Anyone have any advice on how I can go about selling some of the karaoke songs I have made through the years? If I may be so bold, I think they are better quality than the majority of karaoke songs I have heard.

Here is a link if you want to hear some samples. That's me singing and playing all the real instruments and I programmed all the virtual ones:

Where are the guitars? The backing tracks are just slightly better than midi files in my opinion. They cannot begin to compare with professional karaoke renditions like those produced by Chartbuster, Sound Choice, Sunfly, and others.

So, you really think this from Chartbuster:

I don't know what version they're doing, but it isn't Ray Charles' as advertised.

It's obvious that chartbuster fell short on this particular song but they do an excellent job on their country music tracks. On the other hand, this rendition by Sound Choice demonstrates how the song should sound with full instrumentation and background vocals.

Myself, and most serious singers, have no use for synthetic music. Why don't you show us what you can do with a southern rock classic like Sweet Home Alabama or one of the latest pop hits like Hinder's Lips Of An Angel?
