I have found that it is no longer really practical to build your own Karaoke system. However, if you really would like to try here’s what you’ll need…
1. A PC, preferably 1Ghz or faster.
2. A good wavetable sound card.
3. A 40watt or better amplifier.
4. Some type of sound processor for voice.
5. Microphone(s) & stands.
6. Karaoke software (VanBasco’s Karaoke Player) found at http://www.vanbasco.com – it’s free!
7. Tons of .kar karaoke files.
8. assorted cables.
Rather than go through all that hassle, we finaly wound up buying a JVC home karaoke system which was bundled with about 100 karaoke CD’s with lyrics.
Both systems have their drawbacks, but after a few beers, who cares, they both sound great!
I’ll add more…feel free to ask any questions.
