DeVocalizer

DART DeVocalizer is a tool for suppression of the lead vocalist’s performance from most stereophonic recordings. The resulting track contains the background music and background vocals from the actual recording.

Most stereo audio sources can be used. Compact discs usually yield the best results. Analog records, cassette tapes, stereo TV and Radio work, too. However, compressed audio files - MP3 in particular - do not yield good vocal elimination because too much information has been lost in the compression. De-vocalization will only work on lead centered vocals recorded on both stereo channels. The original recording must be stereophonic. For instance, it usually does not work on recordings made before the mid-1960s. The separation technique will not work on monophonic sources nor if the vocal is not centered on both channels.

Because tracks extracted using DART DeVocalizer apply digital audio signal processing to original artist recordings DART Karaoke yields more excitement than most Karaoke music. (Much commercially recorded Karaoke music is based on re-recordings of the music and not the original.) With DART Karaoke Studio working with original recordings you get better background support.

CD+G CD Support

If you want to make Karaoke for Karaoke machines get DART Karaoke Studio CD+G. Karaoke Machines play special CDs with music and graphics synchronized. It’s not video, it’s CD+G.

CD+G is a special CD music format that allows graphical images to be imbedded within the audio stream. DART Karaoke Studio does not create files in the CD+G format -- the so-called Karaoke CD format -- that Karaoke Machines require. If you want to create CDs with CD+G you need DART Karaoke Studio CD+G, a much more capable program.

DART CD+G player is used to play CD+G tracks or .bin files (raw Karaoke tracks) or .cdg files (graphics only). The player is part of Karaoke CD+G.

MIDI Karaoke

DART Karaoke Studio does not support MIDI Karaoke music files or .kar files. DART Karaoke Studio is made to create Karaoke music from ordinary stereo recordings, MP3 or .wav files.
