Hi,

As a test I have placed a song onto YouTube with the lyrics - in the form of a Karaoke song.

I used the program Kara Studio to create the Karaoke style.

Is the concept good or bad.

I would be most grateful if you could let me know what you think.

Thanks
George

George,

IMO, use of video is open to interpretation. Whether or not its a good idea is subject to what you hope to accomplish. If your goal is to make the lyrics more accessible to the listener, then its the perfect marriage of audio and video.

On the other hand, if you want to evoke visual images to intensify the music's effect, then adding pictures is a good approach. Some songs do both.

Bottom line, I liked it... it turned out quite well. I think your voice is particularly suited to the style of music in that song. Nice job!

That is my goal, to let people see the lyrics as the song plays.

I know that there are some beautiful videos with some great pictures ( Furry's for example) but that is not my aim.

Thank you so much for responding.

Best regards
George

It reminds me of the songs they played in some cinemas in the 50's. They had the audience singing along.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for taking a look and listen.

I am only exploring whether it would be beneficial for people to see the lyrics as the song plays.


Best regards
George

george, i liked it a lot. it was nostalgic for me of the entertainment of the 40s and 50s in movie theaters where the entire audience would "follow the bouncing ball" and sing aloud during the intermissions. wonderful memories, my friend. thank you.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
