Tips to Make Your Own Karaoke CD

By Mishaun Taylor

Having your own karaoke system will provide you with one of the most awesome and inspiring entertainment activities you could ever own. You get to practice in your privacy of your home, or have a karaoke party anywhere you want - home, office, school, or even outdoors in the park, club, or beach.

The requirements are pretty basic such as:

• A computer, desktop or laptop
• A CD writer that is capable of handling CD+G, WAV, and MP3 files
• Speakers
• Microphone
• Writable blank CDs
• Karaoke Software

The key to writing your karaoke CD is to make sure your software is the right one. This ultimately means a paid software like Singing Superstar that will not scam or infect your computer. Freeware can be very risky because there is a price to pay - your computer could be exposed to a host of malicious files that could damage system and data files, and be very difficult to remove. Other peripherals like the microphone, speakers, and CDs can be either branded or a lesser known device.

Here are some tips you can adopt when creating your karaoke library:

• Create a folder for your karaoke songs so that easy retrieval is possible. You can enjoy song after song without having to search all over for them. This will be especially useful when you're singing as a group or having a karaoke party.
• If you download a karaoke voice remover software like Singing Superstar or another type of software, you won't need to buy the CDs, or go through a lengthy process just to make one CD. A software like this will create the karaoke CD in minutes. You can even take extra time to label your CDs according to genre or singer. In fact, with a software like the Singing Superstar, you won't even have to burn karaoke CDs since you can store them in your computer.
• Some karaoke software is licensed to sell, so make sure the software you finally decide to use is also licensed
• Be sure to separate the karaoke songs from the regular songs because it will save you time in the long run
• A CDR disk can contain up to 18 songs, depending on the length of each song, so before you start burning your karaoke CDs, group them into batches of 18
• The CDs you should buy should be 6x and 4x

The key to building your hard copies for your karaoke library is organization. Aside from the hardware, you should have proper filing bins, labels and even index cards to help you find CDs easily. Take your time when planning your karaoke song library because if you do it right the first time, then you won't have to re-do everything again.

You should also have a system which can track down your karaoke CDs so that if anyone borrows any, you have a file. With the huge popularity of karaoke parties today, no doubt once people know you have an extensive hard copy library, they'll be making a beeline to borrow what they can.
