Nope, no tip jar, I don't accept tips. To me a tip jar just looks tacky. I never liked them with the guys that play piano at the food court in the mall, I definitely don't want one at my show. As far as making recordings, I'll mention this just for the sake of mentioning it. Unless you've worked out...

Well the manufacturers echo the stance you mentioned here BD, however, folks on the other side of the fence, which includes KJ's, DJ's and Digital broadcasters feel differently. Private use and personal use are not equivalent. The argument that is made to support the right to format shift for public...

I don't worry about it too much to be honest with you. I do have it listed on my site how many songs I have and I'll tell people at my shows as well. What I've found with my guests is that as long as I have the songs they want to sing, it doesn't matter how many or few I have. The bar owner isn't go...

Our format shift is not for private use. It's considered commercial because we are making money from it. Note the term is Personal Use, not private use, that is a significant distinction and one that would be at the heart of any lawsuit filed against KJ's for format shift. Regardless, I wasn't talk...

I just found out that any amplified music outside coming from a bar is illegal. Even if it's the radio. One of my bars just got a $300 fine for it. The LCB was there 5 different times to investigate alligations of serving visably intoxicated persons. They found no evidence so they got him for the m...

I don't know dog, I'm looking forward to this summer. Gas prices are half of what they were at this time last year. Yeah the economy is still in the toilet, but there are signs that consumer trust is returning. Also, I don't know about where you live but here the bar industry is almost immune to eco...

OMG, it is rare that I ever speak in support of Bigdog but in this case I have to agree with wiseguy. I thought Bigdog actually handled his post in a pretty professional manner. As wiseguy pointed out, he didn't post any links to the ad or name the company/person responsible for its content. What he...

First Report - Shure PG288 Dual PG58 Microphone kit
I'm hoping someone might find this helpful if they're in the market for new microphones. I recently purchased a pair of the PG288 Dual Microphone kits from Shure to replace my VocoPro UHF 5800 Karaoke microphones. I had to replace the Vocopros in preparation for the loss of the 700MHz band with the ...

Don't have one myself, but there could be a whole host of options for what might be causing your issue. It could be as simple as your USB cable, those USB interfaces are very finicky. Could be an issue with your PC. If anything is causing latency in the USB transfer, that can cause issues. Even high...
