We offer you a small course on how to record karaoke to disk at home. In this case, you will not incur large financial and time costs. First you need to figure out what format the songs are, select the disc that is most suitable for recording, and find out where to get ready-made karaoke songs.
Karaoke
Before we get to the question of how to burn karaoke to disk, we will get acquainted with the very concept of "karaoke".
The favorite pastime of Russians is singing, regardless of where you are or what you do. Remember, you take a bath and always sing your favorite song, walk and always scroll through a song in your head, and, of course, your favorite vacation spot is a karaoke bar where you can not only relax your body and soul, but also boast your skills singing.
In order to organize a karaoke evening at home, you will need:
- A computer with a CD-ROM or DVD player.
- TV set.
- Microphone (their number varies from performers).
- Drive karaoke.
Almost all of this is available at every home, but few people use this kit to organize karaoke parties. Most of the finished discs sold in stores do not suit us, since there are many compositions on the media that we don’t like. We offer you to make your own karaoke disc with familiar and favorite songs. But before parsing the question of how to burn karaoke to disk, we’ll deal with the file format and the most suitable disk. We will also look further at some software tools that will help us with recording.
Format
To begin with, we make a reservation that there are several types of karaoke: audio and video. The first option is suitable only if the compositions are very familiar to you, that is, there is no need to peep the lyrics of the song. It provides exclusively soundtrack. In the second case, we have the opportunity to spy on the lyrics, watch any changing pictures, and so on, that is, video tracking is in progress.
Today we’ll only talk about the second form, or rather, how to record a karaoke DVD. Let's look at the file format, so it will be clear to us which drive to choose for these purposes. Usually, these are midi files with the extensions MID, ST3 or KAR. What is their feature? If we record ordinary music, then it is obtained in digital form, and karaoke contains a sequence of commands.
