"Such Good Potential. Poor execution."

Version: Karaoke CD+G Creator 2.2.10

Pros

Great program for creating your own karaoke music. The swaping out of instrumentals so you can use the actual song first to sync the lyrics and swap the vocal free instrumental afterward is a genius feature.

Cons

This program crashes CONSTANTLY. I've learned to just continually save so I don't loose any of the work I've done.

Summary

The main times it crashes is when attempt to "apply style" which would allow me to change the color of the words, add shadow or outline, create a title and/or credits screen and insert pictures. It also crashes any time attempt to sync words in the middle of the song or attempt add words after I've synced the song.

I often have to close the program and reopen it just so the song will play correctly. Often when trying to start the song from somewhere in the middle to check a section the audio and lyrics become off by a a few seconds. Not permanently, fortunately, but it still is an annoyance to have to restart the program just to listen to the song.

I would love to recommend this program because it has a lot of great features. The Vocal Remover works well on some songs but it's understandable that for others it would be difficult to remove a vocal track.

I opted not to get the "Pro" version of this and maybe that was a mistake. Perhaps the extra few features were worth a 50% up-charge. I'm not sure. I am sure that paying $99 for this program, I would hope it wouldn't crash at all, let alone as often as it has. I really truly hope that there is a update soon so I can redact this review. Until then, I'd save your money. It's pretty frustrating.

"Looks really good"

Version: Karaoke CD+G Creator 2.2.10

Pros

I have other programs I have paid for from this company and am happy with the products. I tried this one, and it took a few tries to get the timing down for synchronizing the words to the music.

Cons

I wish they would let us save the files so we can play them, but on the trial version you can't so you have no way to test anything live. I wouldn't mind a splash screen or something even. I do not have $99 to pay for it currently.

Summary

I think if you can afford this, it will make up songs for you just the way you like. I just took a karaoke file, and slowed the music down a hair using one program, and added the lyrics from a text document. I combined them just fine after a few tries to learn how to get the timing down. I wish it was not so expensive to purchase but they created the software so they can charge what they want. I will be searching for less expensive versions that work in a similar way in the meantime since I cannot afford to buy this one.

"It Just Went Nuts!"

Version: Karaoke CD+G Creator 1.2.13

Summary

My Story is that it was a good and a recominding program IF it worked like it was supposed to. I found out that when I made a Karokee song that all of a sudden it started to display instead of my words "POWER KAROKEE POWER KAROKEE" And it kept going so I recomend the program it was great but its bugs though are still in it!

"Crashes when you want to load a wave file"

September 18, 2002  |  

Version: Karaoke CD+G Creator 1.2.13

Summary

This program crashes when you try to open a wave file. It does not do what a karaoke machine should do which is remove the vocal track from the song.
