This program will produce a professionally looking Karaoke CD + G suitable for a church or other large gathering. First a sound track has to be chosen either from a music file in the computer (mp3 or wav) or a midi from the net. A Midi has to be converted into a wav file. The converter is supplied in the program. An instrumental or a midi is best to use because voice might not be completely removed with the "voice remover".

After the music is loaded in the left side column the lyrics are added by typing or going to the net then copy and paste into the clip board box. Synchronizing the words to the music is next. This is delicate and most time consuming. The frist few times I tried synchronizing my pc froze then I found an up grade which worked for my completed song.

There are graphics, different fonts and background colour choices for the title page.
This program can also produce duets and single voice with the voices in different colours.
The karaoke song can be played back using Power CD+G Player supplied in the program.
I have not been able to transfer my piece to another computer or write it to a DVD. It can only be written to a DVD with Karaoke CD+G burner which costs another $49. USD

Pros: Produces a professional and fun looking Karaoke CD+G. I was able to follow the instructions without any music file background.
Cons: Expensive and doesn´t come with a DVD burner
