Q.  Does this work on Windows Vista?
A.
Yes it does work with Vista.


Q.   Is this legal?
A.
 This question has been debated.  If you are wanting to back up your cdg's yes.  If  you're wanting to download a whole library for your karaoke show, well I think you know what that answer is.  We do not give legal advice, and this is for entertainment purposes only.


Q. How long does it take to download a song?
A.  
It all depends on your internet connection.   I have DSL, and it takes me about  1 minute to download a song.  For dial up it will take longer.

 We have been in business for 5 years.

A.  
Yes 100% real.   Many people are tired of wasting their money for cdg's.   If you don't order today, you will order down the road.  We try to keep our prices low, but with inflation they will be going up.


Q.  How does this work?
A.
 
You will download a guide that will include video (with purchase of video guide) that takes you step by step on how to find, download, convert, and rip karaoke songs.  You will also download and install all the programs needed to make your cd's.  These programs are certified virus free so you don't have to worry about harming your computer that some programs have.  No spyware is built in these programs either.   Follow the instructions that are in the guide, and begin downloading your songs.

A.
 No way.  These are high quality professional sounding songs with graphics.


Q.
. What format are the downloaded songs?
A.  The most popular computer-karaoke format, "Mp3+G". Each Mp3+G consists of two (2) files: One containing sound (.mp3) and another with your graphics/lyrics (.cdg). These are sent to you in a ".zip" file. Programs are included to unzip, convert and burn to disc. Your newly created CDG will be identical to the original. In addition, you choose the songs and what order they go in before making the disc!

Starting A Karaoke Business - What You Need To Know

You love to sing, you love karaoke, you've been to lots of karaoke shows, and you're thinking that this would be a great business to be in. You're right, it is a great business for the right person. If you are an outgoing, friendly, personable, and patient person then this could be the perfect job for you.

There's a huge difference between singing karaoke in front of a crowd at someone else's show and running a show yourself. The crowd always counts on you for help, guidance, and to be fair with the singer rotation. Your biggest asset will be confidence which comes only with time and experience. From my experience, singer rotation is huge.  You will want to make sure everyone gets a turn, if not, things can go sour quickly.  Especially if they've had a few drinks.  Keep that in mind.

Now you may be thinking "I don't want to spend a fortune on a professional karaoke system and then be stuck with it if the business doesn't work out". To start with, a good karaoke system does not cost a fortune in relation to the start-up cost of most businesses.  It is pretty cheap compared to those.  You don't need to fork out mega bucks for the best state of the art system.  

An investment of under $5000.00 will provide everything you need to start performing karaoke shows. If, for some reason, the business doesn't work out you still have a great karaoke system for your home and parties. You can also rent out the system to re-coup your investment.  

Ok, so you've decided to do this thing and you have your system ready to go, now what? Simply put, go hit the streets. Get yourself some business cards and a date book and go visit every bar and club in your area that is known to hire live entertainment. Offer a low "first performance" price if necessary.  Almost to the point where it's free for them to try.  With the guide, you don't have to spend a whole lot of money for your songs, just the cost of the CDR's.  Vista Print also has free business cards where all you need to do is pay for shipping.

Be very personable and professional.  They like people who look professional, are nice and clean cut.  If you walk in the bar dressed like a mad man, chances are they won't want to book you.  You only get 30 seconds to make a first impression.  After that, the customer's mind is already made up, and if you made a bad impression, it may be hard to win that back.  When you do get that first booking, do not drink alcohol while you're KJing.  You are making a lasting impression with not only your skills, but as you as an individual.

Also, if you have any friends in the karaoke business you might ask them to refer you to any jobs that they can't get to or don't want to do. You can't be too choosey when you're just starting out. You need to build your reputation and notoriety.  Go with your friends to one of their bookings, mingle with the crowd.  You don't need to steal their thunder, just make a prescence.

Contracts
In all my years in this business I have rarely found the need for a written contract. A "hand shake" deal has always worked out well when dealing with bar and club owners. The exceptions being private parties and wedding receptions which have the highest probability of cancelation.

For these types of performances I print out two instances of a simple contract in which myself and the client sign. The contract does not need to contain a lot of conditions and legal disclaimers. You simply want to make sure that the date, time, payment arrangements, and cancelation conditions are understood by both parties.

From the sidelines it may look like running a karaoke show is the easiest thing in the world. You'll soon find out that it is a lot of work that requires your full attention and a lot of patience in putting up with sometimes belligerent people without losing your cool. Unlike being a DJ, you will have very little idle time. I'm not saying that you won't have fun but you must remember that it is a job.   Hopefully a job that you love.
