Soundcards -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Firstly I would like to thank all members for their invaluable advice in the past and hopefully this will be my last problem. I have converted from a karaoke machine to using a laptop, I have brought a Tr...

Thx for the input. I've found that a bit of lighting, I mount them to the top of each speaker, really help add to the show. Most of the places I'm playing have fluorescent lightening, terrible, or a few under powered pocket lights. I do agree with you, to a point, about volume. I've been to a few sh...

Hi, I looked into that as well. The more I worked with it, the more I went out and saw other working KJ's (I'm not out yet) and the more I looked into ease of use and not pissing off singers, in a general sence, I'm not going to go this route. Better I spend the money on more lightening, songs, etc....

Understood Bigdog. All I can say is that I bought a few 50 and less HDMI, 100 foot and less SVHS and 50 and less VGA with no problems.

Thx Bigdog. I suppose I'll just have to use the system at a few smaller gigs and try her out. As far as Auto Tune goes, I wouldn't use it without offering it first, that's for sure. The last gig I did, I guess I was on because I got a huge amount of very, very poor singers to come up. All well and g...

Thx Moon rider. I'm going to give the Auto Tune a try, I can use it in the studio anyway... Much like a harminizor, or any effect for that matter, you can use it a little or a lot so, practice and time will tell. I'm thinking that I can use it when things get real painful! :shock: And in case anybod...

Hi Members, I’m doing something similar but in a different manner. I can play the guitar pretty well, so I use a PC based program called, Guitar FX, http://guitarfx.net/ to produce a wide array of sounds from a “line and clean” guitar sound. I use a wireless system to hook my guitar to the line in o...

Other than RoxBox, what other software works off test search and not numbers? I've only used RoxBox and so far I like it.

Hi Members, I’m going to retire in Feb, 2010 from my day job. I’ve been a DJ for many years, although I’ve been out of the mix since the early ‘90’s. I’m starting to do the KJ thing and I like it a lot better than being a stand alone DJ. I like the interaction with the people much better. I’m wonder...

OK, I have a question about this also. I know that you are limited to approximately a 10' video cable running from the laptop to the 2nd monitor. Any longer than that and video degradation happens. Do KJs set up this close to the singer? I have no KJ experience, but have done tons of sound engineer...
