Hi,
I just recently came home (US) from a business trip to Japan, where our
hosts took us to a karaoke place (private room). I really enjoyed that. I
sang in key most of the time -- only Freddie Mercury was too big a challenge
(I used to sing in a choir when I went to elementary school).
Anyway, so now I am thinking about buying a karaoke system for home use,
also to teach my son and daughter to sing in key.
I have a few questions:
- All these formats are confusing me: should I get CDG or is enough
material available in DVD?
- Should I get individual components, reuse part of my stereo, buy an all
in one system?
- Any suggestions for a good system. I would like the following abilities:
* Multi CD/DVD changer so I can choose any song by keying in a number
similar to the system I experienced in Japan
* Good sound quality
* Digital key control
* Two microphones (wireless a good idea?) with individual volume control.
* Good value for the money.
Please help remove my ignorance. Also if you know of any good FAQ, bulletin
boards etc. please let me know.
