DrBen3000 - New Guy Trying to add Karaoke to DJ
 

Hi! I'm a former musician returning to Entertainment in the Atlanta area. Around th end of 2008 I'm planning to be up and running with a DJ and VJ set up and want to add Karaoke. Truth is, I haven't even gotten all of my sound equipment together yet. I currently have to Bose L1 model 2's with 4 B1's and Tonematch. I have a rackmount Denon X500 Mixer, Denon DHC4500 Controller, and a Denon BU4500. I have a Shure Elvis microphone and a wireless Shure beta 58. In terms of software I have both DJPower and PCDJ-VJ-KJ. I currently have about 400 Karaoke songs on CDG's.
I have little experience with the technology of CD's, Videos and CDG's.
I have not yet read through theforums and I may find a lot of there questions answered elsewhere. But my first questions are:
1) Will PCDJ-VJ work well for my Karaoke?
2) Is the key changer up and down of the PCDJ enough for practical work?
3) I am thinking of buying the Vocopro UHF 5805 4 microphone system so
I can have the 4 additional mics, rechargeable, and being less
expensive they are more expendable if a customer damages them. Are
they of good enough quality to make this a good plan?
4) How the heck do I get the CDG's onto the hard drive? I'm not finding
this easy. Is there some place to learn this for a rookie like me?
5) Is there any training forum or DVD that can help me learn the art of
Karaoke?
I'll set about reading and continue to look for help wherever I can find it. I look forward to learning more ad welcome your input.
