What are the best kind of Karaoke discs to use?
Hello all,
A bar I frequent on the odd occasion, is thinking about hosting a karaoke night there on a monthly basis. They have a karaoke system, but in the past used to just buy discs from the local HMV store to play. I personally think this is a pretty expensive way to do it and it does limit the amount of songs they have/had.
I have no knowledge of karaoke discs and I understand there are two types?
Basically I would like to know:
- What the best type of discs to use are (that look professional and sound great)
- Where to buy a lot of songs, for as little money as possible.
Sadly our budget isn't huge... although thankfully, we have the equipment so it's just the discs to worry about!
I'd like to have as extensive a list of songs as possible, but good quality too!
Thanks for your help.
Most places use a standard CD+G format if they haven't converted to using a lap-top computer yet. If you want an extensive set, invest in the DK Millenium Series (karaoke.com should still have it) or the Sound Choice Foundation/Brick sets (these can be found on eBay really cheap). These will provide a great foundation/variety for you. DK and Sound Choice are the best brands in my opinion. Pop Hits Monthly is great for the new stuff. Zoom Karaoke is also a great brand and very inexpensive. Sweet Georgia Brown is also decent and fills in a lot of the gaps in your selection. To answer your last question, eBay is the way to go. You can find brand new discs for cheaper than the other stores. AceKaraoke.com is good though. If I don't get it on eBay, they usually have what I want.
