What is the difference between regular CDs and Karaoke
CDs?
Karaoke is simply singing to professioanlly re-recorded songs. The difference
with Karaoke media (CDGs, VCDs and DVDs) is that the lead singer’s voice
is removed but the backing vocals and music are still present.
Karaoke media
consists of CDGs (Compact Disc plus Graphics), VCDs (Video Compact
Discs) and DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs).
Laser Discs represent older media. All the above media is
a standard CD size of 5" except the Laser Disc which was 12".
CDGs usually have 15 songs per disc and have the lead singers
voice removed. Lyrics appear on your TV screen for singing along. CDGs are
usually purchased by professionals and serious Karaoke enthusiasts.
VCDs usually have 11 songs per disc and are multiplex which means you have the choice of having the lead vocal on or off. The difference with VCDs is that the lyrics
that play on your TV screen are shown on top of a short movie created for
that song. These are also purchased by professionals and the serious Karaoke
enthusiast.
Each form of media requires that you have a Karaoke compatible
player. When purchasing, please check your player manual for compatibility.
You can play CDGs in a normal CD player but you will only hear the backing
track (the words will not display on your TV screen unless you have a Karaoke
player).
What should I buy?
Most of your choices will be based upon the level of enthusiasm you
have for Karaoke. Higher levels of enthusiasm warrant higher quality equipment
and media. If you have an existing player, reading the manual will let
you know the type of media it will play. Usually, your Karaoke player will
play the CDG Karaoke format. CDGs have no lead vocals, are more expensive
and usually associated with the serious or veteran enthusiast.
